When an organization embarks on the path of environmental leadership, how does it track and quantify its efforts? This article describes a system for identifying, tracking, and communicating environmental efforts. Anita Wolfe wishes to recognize Richard P. Wells'S article, “Point of View: Environmental Management in Mexico,” TQEM , Vol. 2, No. 3, as an invaluable source in helping to develop this system. In addition, it examines the experience of Ontario Hydro, Canada'S largest public utility, within a similar framework.
