<br/><br/> Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) offer an approach to regulatory policy that lies somewhere between free-market and traditional command-and-control methods. Worldwide, hundreds of thousands of private firms have adopted or are considering adopting these internally managed systems for improving environmental performance. Regulating from the Inside brings together cutting-edge work of leading scholars, providing the most comprehensive analysis to date of EMSs. Intended to frame the future policy and the research agenda about EMSs, the chapters examine how and why firms adopt and implement EMSs; how EMSs answer concerns about fairness, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability; and what kind of impact EMSs may have on the global economy.
