Summary
As is well known, one of the most important social obligations of industrial enterprises is to be responsive to the environment. Protection of the environment and keeping it unpolluted for the future are among the social responsibilities and duties of both states and all enterprises. Therefore, all countries, notably the European Union (EU) have established a number of laws regarding the protection of environment. During the process of integrating Turkey into the EU, the precautions our enterprises must take regarding adaptation to environmental laws are as important as improving their production processes.
