Abstract
The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) has rapidly become a preferred means of improving organizational processes in industry and government. CMMI is a framework for guiding, integrating, and appraising improvement activities. Modest investments in improved environmental accounting can lead to significant gains in Triple Bottom Line profitability, corporate image, and reduced liability. Environmental accounting demands new skills, tools, and more integrated accounting across department and division lines enterprise wide. A wide range of stakeholders can benefit from this information. Environmental accounting is also increasingly in demand for policy development by NGOs and at a range of levels of government. This work will demand innovation, creativity and investment in IT. It is an unmatched opportunity for information technology and technology developers.
