Description: Environmental management systems are becoming essential tools for maintaining environmentally responsible production and maintaining a competitive edge in waste management and efficiency. Full cost accounting is a valuable element within environmental management, and this case study investigates a semiconductor facility s current environmental management system and potential full cost accounting applications. The facility s main environmental issues are concentrated in chemical accounting, environmental performance measurements, community perception and accurate cost evaluations. Environmental performance over time is difficult to characterize because of changing production volumes, products, technologies and manufacturing equipment.
