"Industry Self-Regulation and Voluntary Environmental Compliance provides a useful introduction for students seeking to understand a range of innovative environmental programs."
-- Jennifer Nash, Director, Regulatory
Policy Program, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University

"... admirably clear and well organized, presents thoughtful, easily-understood discussions of relevant programs such as Responsible Care, StarTrack, and voluntary industry initiatives, and includes helpful case studies. Our students benefited from the many useful examples and summary points - a book that is a real aid to learning about an important emerging area of environmental responsibility."
--Harvey Smith, EMS program coordinator, Northern Illinois University

"Dr. Iannuzzi's book provides a succinct and well-informed overview and analysis of self-regulation and voluntary compliance that will be of great benefit to environmental regulators, planners, and managers. His in-depth case studies illuminate the challenges and opportunities faced by industry and government as we search for ways to achieve a sustainable economy without sacrificing prosperity. He presents a detailed model for a cooperative process of self-regulation that recognizes the input of all stakeholders, including business, government, environmental groups, and local communities. ... a timely and important book."
- John Tallmadge, The Union Institute and University, Cincinnati, Ohio

"This book makes a compelling case to proceed with self-regulation. It offers thorough analyses of some of the opportunities and the pitfalls. And it is a compelling read for such a serious topic."
- Matthew Arnold, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer World Resources Institute

"As academic programs in environmental management and environmental engineering are revised and expanded to incorporate changes in the industrial and regulatory communities, understanding of voluntary compliance has become increasingly important. This book provides a comprehensive survey of voluntary approaches to regulatory compliance by industry. The comparison of programs related to environmental regulation in contrast to OSHA regulations is informative. The sections on theory of self-regulation and the case studies of actual industrial self-regulation programs are most useful in teaching and these issues are explained in an easily understood and comprehensive way to students. This book illuminates classroom discussion and will provide value to students who become involved in regulatory process on either side of the equation."

- Daniel Watts, Executive Director, Otto H. York Center for Environmental Engineering and Science
