Environmental Costs

Ecoefficiency essentially
maintains that organizations
can produce more useful
goods and services while
simultaneously reducing
negative environmental
impacts, resource
consumption, and costs.

Environmental Costs

Environmental costs are costs that are incurred


because poor environmental quality exists or may
exist.
Environmental costs
can be classified in
four categories:
prevention costs,
detection costs,
internal failure costs,
and external failure
costs.

Environmental Costing

Unit-Based Environmental Cost Assignments


Environmental costs are separated into a cost
pool
Costs are assigned to individual products using
unit-level drivers
Best for a homogeneous product setting

Life-Cycle Cost Assessment

Life cycle assessment


identifies the environmental
consequences of a product
through its entire life cycle and
then searches for
opportunities to obtain
environmental improvements.

Life-Cycle Cost Assessment

Inventory analysis
specifies the types and
quantities of materials
and energy inputs
needed and the
resulting environmental
releases in the form of
solid, liquid, and
gaseous residues.

Life-Cycle Cost Assessment

Impact analysis
assesses the
environmental effects of
competing designs and
provides a relative
ranking of those effects.

16-

Life-Cycle Cost Assessment

Cost assessment
determines the financial
consequences of the
environmental impacts
identified in the inventory
and improvement steps
of life-cycle assessment.

16-

Life-Cycle Cost Assessment

Improvement analysis has


the objective of reducing the
environmental impacts
revealed by the inventory
and impact steps.

Strategic-Based Environmental
Responsibility Accounting

Five core objectives for the environmental


perspectives:
1) Minimize hazardous materials
2) Minimize raw or virgin materials
3) Minimize energy requirements
4) Minimize the release of residues
5) Maximize opportunities to recycle
