About this title

Review:

Thorough and highly readable ... From basic environmental accounting concepts to the thicket of full-cost accounting, the authors nimbly guide readers through the pitfalls and possibilities. An excellent resource. - The Green Business Letter

A hands-on, useful book. - Business Ethics

A book well worth reading. - Handbook of Management Accounting

This publication is a good guidance book to environment-related management accounting as it gives the context, definitions, and doesn't just theorize but shows applications. - International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives

The Green Bottom Line is an important book which examines corporate environmental policy from an accounting standpoint. If companies can demonstrate that green is not only good but yields better business results then detractors will disappear like chimneys in a smoke free zone. - European Quality
