Environmental management aims to develop and implement policies to reduce negative environmental impacts from organizations and industries. It seeks to balance socioeconomic development with maintaining environmental quality by rationally adjusting human activities to not disturb ecosystems. The goals of environmental management include identifying and solving environmental problems, regulating natural resource use, regenerating degraded environments, controlling pollution, assessing project impacts, and revising technologies to be more eco-friendly.

1. Environmental Management
Defination And Concept

2. DEFINATION
• Environmental Management is a tool or an administrative tool to
develop, implement and monitor the environmental policy of and
organization or a business. It is and important tool to reduce or
decrease ill effects on environment due to various industries. It is and
important now a days because consumers think that there
organization should at least environmental aware if it is not friendly.

3. Concept
• The ecological balance and ecosystem stability are duly maintained by the nature itself but the
emergence of modern industrial era has disturbed the ecological balance through heavy
industrialization, technological revolution, faster growth of means of transportation, rapacious
exploitation of resources, unplanned urbanization etc.
• In other words, the anthropogenic activities of modern ‘economic and technological’ man have
disturbed the harmonious relationships between the environment and human beings.
Environmental management is thus, the process to improve the relationship between the human
beings and environment which may be achieved through check on destructive activities of man,
conservation, protection, regulation and regeneration of nature.
• The process, environmental management is related to the rational adjustment of man with nature
involving judicious exploitation and utilization of natural resources without disturbing the
ecosystem balance and ecosystem equilibrium.
• If the natural resources are overexploited, it will affect socio-economic development of a nation.
Thus, environmental management must take into consideration the ecological principles and
socioeconomic needs of the society i.e., it involves socio economic developments on one hand
and maintenance of environmental quality on other hand.

(ii) To restrict and regulate the exploitation and utilization of natural resources.
(iii) To regenerate degraded environment and to renew natural resources (renewable)
(iv) To control environmental pollution and gradation.
(v) To reduce the impacts of extreme events and natural disaster.
(vi) To make optimum utilization of natural resources.
(vii) To assess the impacts of proposed projects and activities on environment.
(viii) To review and revise the existing technologies and make them ecofriendly.
(ix) To formulate laws for the implementation of environmental protection and conservation programmes

5. Scope
