| Abstract from DBPedia | Environmental accounting is a subset of accounting proper, its target being to incorporate both economic and environmental information. It can be conducted at the corporate level or at the level of a national economy through the System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting, a satellite system to the National Accounts of Countries (among other things, the National Accounts produce the estimates of gross domestic product otherwise known as GDP). Environmental accounting is a field that identifies resource use, measures and communicates costs of a company's or national economic impact on the environment. Costs include costs to clean up or remediate contaminated sites, environmental fines, penalties and taxes, purchase of pollution prevention technologies and waste management costs. An environmental accounting system consists of environmentally differentiated conventional accounting and ecological accounting. Environmentally differentiated accounting measures effects of the natural environment on a company in monetary terms. Ecological accounting measures the influence a company has on the environment, but in physical measurements.環境会計（かんきょうかいけい、英語：environmental accounting、略称：EA）とは、企業などの組織が環境に関する社会的責任を果たしつつ、環境保全の活動を効果的・効率的に推進するため、環境負荷や環境保全の費用と効果を把握するための手法である。環境活動と経済活動を連係する環境経営手法として重要な役割を担う。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Environmental_accounting) |
