Title: General Motors plant environmental auditing program
Abstract: This report discusses General Motors environmental audit activities in the stationary source area. From the late 1960s through the 1970s, a wide range of environmental and safety legislation was enacted. As a result, GM expanded its environmental staff to ensure compliance and increase employee awareness of regulatory requirements. This report traces the development and operation of the GM Industrial Environmental Performance Review or Plant Environmental Audit, as it is most often called. The Plant Environmental Audit Group was established in 1972 to provide corporate, divisional, and local management with accurate, periodic engineering evaluations of the environmental conditions at each manufacturing facility. The scope of the plant audit includes the environmental categories of air and water quality, waste materials handling and disposal, energy conservation, and certain OSHA-related functions that are considered plant engineering responsibilities (noise abatement, maintenance records, etc.).
