Industrial companies that look for a competitive advantage or to even survive and to adjust to a turbulent and unforeseeable business environment realize that they need to increasingly strike new attitudes related to environmental problems. These new attitudes include a continuous changing process on the manner to manage their business in the organizations. Thus, some industrial companies are developing new ways to deal with the environmental problems through auto-regulation mechanisms or proactive environmental management.
