La généralisation des techniques de contrôle intégré de la pollution, [lesquelles] représentent une approche systémique de la prise de décision, qui a pour but d’empêcher que la réduction d’un type de pollution ne provoque l'augmentation d’une autre source. À partir du moment où les instances réglementaires évaluent une usine ou une entreprise dans sa globalité, la gestion de la pollution et des déchets doit, elle aussi, faire l'objet d’une approche globale. Cela signifie que tous les dirigeants doivent prendre davantage conscience des problèmes d’environnement et de déchets, sujets plus généralement laissés au soin des spécialistes. Peu d’entreprises ont été aussi loin que le groupe de transport et d’expédition P&O, qui a mis les questions environnementales au même plan que la finance, le marketing ou le personnel dans les problèmes de management. 3, record 3, French, - contr%C3%B4le%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9%20de%20la%20pollution
