Mecanismos de interiorização dos custos ambientais na indústria: rumo a mudanças de comportamento

Abstract

In order to motivate changes in the behaviour of the industry regarding environment, interiorization mechanisms of environment costs have been developed, specially in developed countries. Among the available mechanisms, we can emphasize more specifically the approaches of command and control, the economic instruments, and the auto-regulation. There is an intensive controversy related to efficiency and effectiveness of each mechanism to produce the desirable answers from industrial enterprises, and they are here presented and supported by pros and cons, as well as advantages and disadvantages under the point of view of management.
