This paper provides a short discussion of the realities of implementing a strategic environmental management program in a modern corporation. The first half lists typical business challenges which are related to EPA regulations, to property risk management, and to company performance which can have a positive impact on the environment. The strategic environmental manager anticipates these business issues successfully. The list provided is based on my experiences as an environment and safety professional over the past sixteen years, while working at three Silicon Valley electronics firms. The second half discusses examples of relevant, specific accomplishments in the environment-related business activities of Watkins-Johnson Company.
