Abstract
In recent years, as a result of new legislation and a greater social awareness about the ecological damage caused by production and polluting products, increasingly firms have been paying attention to environmental issues. In an effort to meet the challenge of managing the environment strategically, firms have adopted new tools designed for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the environmental impact of their activities. In fact, the relation between firms and natural resources is characterized by the modifications that productive activities cause to ecosystems, not only at the local level, but also over vast geographical areas.
