Foreword from the Editors

This fifth volume of the Environmental and Sustainability Accounting Network (EMAN) would not have been possible without the continuous support of the many active network members submitting papers and engaging in EMAN conferences. The role of environmental management accounting (EMA) support for Cleaner Production in companies and Cleaner Production initiatives by governments has been discussed intensively since the EMAN-EU conference in Graz in 2006. At the Helsinki conference in 2007 EMAN celebrated its tenth birthday. The network has grown since its foundation in 1997 to more than 2,000 members from academia, companies, NPOs and the public sector and is continuously accepting new members. From the initial core group of EMAN-EU the global network has developed five regional networks EMAN-Europe (www.eman-eu. net), EMAN-Asia Pacific (www.eman-ap.net), EMAN Africa (www.eman-af. net) and EMAN-Americas (www.eman-am.net). All regional networks are members of EMAN-Global (www.eman-global.net)
