The environment is under tremendous stress from rapid industrialization, unplanned urbanization and changing consumption patterns in the race to achieve better living standards Alfsen & Greaker [1] Samakovlis [2]. Today everyone is concerned with environmental issues as they influence all human activities. It is amply clear that regulatory actions by pollution control agencies alone cannot restore the environment to its pristine state.

Considering the future environmental and energy scenarios, environmental management systems and ecomark is now recognized as a pre-requisite for sustainable development and eco-friendly environmental management in organizations. Environmental accounting is the identification, measurement and allocation of environmental costs, the integration of these environmental costs into business decisions, and the subsequent communication of the information to a company’s stakeholders Hecht [4].
