ABC Inc. Environmental Compliance

4. ABC Inc. is a multinational corporation that manufactures
pesticides, herbicide and agriculture fertilizer. The products of
the corporation may pose as a threat to wildlife, human beings,
plants and the environments that can be quite costly. To
minimize such risks, the corporation must develop and
implement environmental compliance programs and strategies to
meet environmental legal obligations at all governments. This
project is divided into three parts that will lead the corporation
to being environmental sustainable. Environmental compliance
by an organization can be enhanced through compliance with
federal statuses, creation of risk management plan, and
appropriate allocation of duties.
Part I
ABC Inc. will comply with the following statuses in the
following ways;
Federal Statuses
Necessary Step for Compliance
RCRA
· Proper storage of raw materials
· Proper disposal of hazardous waste
· Conduct inspections regularly and periodic audits to verify
compliance (Steinway et al, 2011)
CERCLA
· Perform cleanup activities in a timely and appropriate manner
TSCA
· Comply with operation regulations that include manufacture,
distribution, exportation/importation, disposal and use of
products (U.S Environmental Protection Agency, 2016)
FIFRA
· Conduct on-site inspections
· Perform quality tests on products
· Ensure they meet labeling requirements (U.S Environmental
Protection Agency, 2016)
CWA
· Conduct proper wastewater management

5. · Implement plans to prevent waste discharge into water
CAA
· Ensure facility is well designed and maintained
· Minimize consequences of accidental release of hazardous
waste
· Label products that contain ozone depleting substances (U.S
Environmental Protection Agency, 2016)
EPCRA
· Adequately plan for chemical emergencies
· Train employees on how to respond to chemical emergencies
· Submit hazardous chemical information to relevant authorities
(U.S Environmental Protection Agency, 2016)
Part II
ABC Inc.’s Risk Management and Liability Exposure Plan
The corporations risk management and liability exposure plan
will be created as follows:
1. Identify risks to the corporation
2. Assess these risks accordingly and evaluate their impact
(Queensland Government, 2017)
3. Develop effective strategies to help treat or manage these
risks (Aven, 2016)
4. Regularly review the plan and update it accordingly
5. Put measures in place to minimize environmental liability
issues
6. Obtain and maintain appropriate insurance coverage
(Webster, 2015)
Part III
There is need to evaluate the risks, duties and leadership
opportunities associated with environmental regulation of ABC
Inc.
The risks include environmental liabilities for failure to
comply, unskilled workers and financial challenges to meet
environmental regulations (Aven, 2016).
Different stakeholders of the multinational company have
different duties to perform to enhance compliance with

6. environmental regulation (Joshi & Li, 2016). The corporate
managers, for instance, have to set social and environmental
goals for their corporations to enhance sustainability (Lange,
Busch, & Delgado-Ceballos, 2012).
Leadership opportunities include building a sustainable world,
boosting career prospects and inspiring others globally
(Khoshhal & Guraya, 2016).
Conclusion
ABC Inc. must comply with the environmental regulations
for enhanced environmental sustainability. Environmental
compliance by an organization can be enhanced through
compliance with federal statuses, creation of risk management
plan, and appropriate allocation of duties. ABC Inc. should
understand the environmental regulations and laws of different
countries since it’s a multinational corporation to enhance
compliance. Environmental sustainable corporations tend to be
more attractive to consumers compared to those that are not.
Therefore, environmental compliance not only benefits the
environment through minimized pollution but the business as
well.

Reflection
Chapter 11 is about Natural Resources Law. Some hot topics in
natural resources laws are discussed. Different laws address
issues on natural resources in environmental law. What comes
to mind when we use the term natural resources? Natural
resources include land, fish, wildlife, air, biota, water (oceans,
rivers, lakes, ground water etc.). The sources of energy are also
addressed under natural resources law. Examples of natural
resources discussed in this chapter are public lands and
wilderness areas; fish, birds, and wildlife; and energy sources.
Public land management is achieved through the division of
lands into four types: general public lands, national forests,
national wildlife refuges, and national parks. Each type of land

11. is managed by a special agency. Some factors that affect land
management are economic uses and uses aimed at the protection
of wildlife and wilderness areas. Acts which protect natural
resources include the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the
Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).
Different sources of energy (wind, solar, geothermal, biomass)
as well as global warming are also discussed. Global warming is
a phenomenon linked to the use of traditional energy sources.
The alternative sources of energy discussed are a means to help
address global warming and other environment related issues.
The other required resources for this week are: the assigned
chapter (10) from Hitchcock & Blair (2010) which discusses the
future of the relationships between environment and business;
and the article about the Ohio packaging maker from the Forbes
website.
Please read the assigned chapters and the article and note the
role of businesses and governments in addressing global
environmental issues. Also, analyze the effectiveness of current
international environmental law.
