Environmental managers have knowledge and skills that have relevance beyond the company fence-line. As professionals, they have a responsibility to their employer to provide appropriate guidance and direction regarding the broader “environment.” As citizens, they’re obligated to consider the well-being of the communities in which they work, play and reside.

The questions we want to ask and answer are:
• What are the expectations of the profession regarding the responsibilities of the environmental manager to the community that hosts his or her company?
• What is an appropriate role of the environmental manager in participating in guiding and directing his or her organization with respect to its obligation to the public good of the host community?
