01.02.2006

This is the second book written by Cicerone IONESCU, Ph.D., Director of AUDITECO GES , in the field of environmental management.

Avrom Bendavid-Val, an important American expert in this domain made the following remarks:

"What is clear is that establishing an environmental management system (EMS) offers enormous opportunities from the very beginning of the effort for Romanian enterprises and for the managers and workers employed there. This book will help readers find a path for most effectively establishing an EMS in their enterprises and through that for seizing those opportunities. [...]

This book will help romanian enterprises achieve ISO 14001 certification, but more important it will help them do it right. The result of doing it right will be that they will stick to it, and continue to improve their environmental performance because in doing so, they will prosper as economic enterprises. This is really what ISO 14001 is all about."
