La Pubblica Amministrazione nella Certificazione Ambientale del territorio: un'analisi sull'esperienza del Comune di Montalcino

Abstract

The aim of this work is to survey about the application of Environmental Certification in Public Administration Offices (as provinces and districts) in order to understand how this tool can offer a clear and reasonable answer to citizens in terms of eco-efficiency. Particularly we have tried to analyse the potentiality of an Environmental Management System implemented by a Public Sector Office. Thus, a survey about the realization of ISO 14000 standard in Montalcino’s district has been realized and an important result emerges: the tool of Environmental Certification can be used to connect sustainable development together with territorial marketing, involving all the subjects interested in local development (as associations and firms).
