Article Abstract:

The inclusion of public input and corporate culture can result in the creation of proactive corporate environmental communication programs. These programs can be attained through several ways. Companies can start with their own employees since the latter are the best communication resources. The disclosure of environmental concerns should not involve elaborate schemes since it takes time to built trust and credibility with the public. Companies should also realize that the communication of environmental information is not just talking to the public but understanding what the public wants to say.

Article Abstract:

An automated screening system may be used in incorporating environmental issues into business functions.

A 'flag' is raised when a match is found between an ingredient and a material on one of the watch lists. The key features of the system are full-integration with the business process, ability to operate 'in the background,' and the capacity to generate various responses depending on the nature of the flag raised.
