Environmental Impact Studies (EIS)

EIS includes details such as site location, boundaries, zoning requirements, and land ownership.
EIS must assess the importance of environmental concerns in a proposed venture.

Levels of Support for Environmental Issues

There are four levels of support:
- Legal posture: complying with laws and regulations.
- Market posture: responding to customers' environmental preferences.
- Stakeholder posture: encouraging stakeholders to develop environmentally friendly practices.
- Dark-green posture: integrating environmental values into all aspects of the project.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

EIA predicts the environmental consequences of a project, including positive and negative effects.
EIA provides baseline information, identifies likely impacts, and suggests environmental safeguards.
EIA must be conducted in the planning stage to evaluate alternatives and incorporate preventive measures.
