BASIC APPROACHES OF AN ORGANIZATION TOWARDS
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Passive approach The organization practically does
[up arrow] not care about the issue of
environmental protection. (Note:
the state organizations may be
constrained towards pro-
environmental oriented activities
e.g. the availability of funds from
a central source, respectively
disinterest of competent bodies)
[down arrow] * Organization responds to the
Reactive approach development of environmental
legislation.
* Organization addresses issues of
environmental protection solely on
the ground to bring it into line
with regulatory measures
(legislative and sanctions) however
itself it does not proactively
[up arrow] seeks ways to minimize their
negative effects on the
environment.

This is based

application of

The aim is to
