• Helps to prevent enforcement or civil actions • Reduces hidden costs associated with legal action (including
substantial draw on management time) • Avoids fines and damages awarded from legal action through criminal
or civil courts and prevents the loss of the college’s credibility
• Improves operational and process efficiency • Reduces operating costs and resource use thereby increasing
profitability • Reduces outlay on waste disposal • Gives the college a long-term sustainable future • Develops relationships with stakeholders by satisfying investors',
lenders', and insurers' environmental performance requirements • Helps to obtain insurance at a reasonable cost • Enhances the internal and external image of the college, making it
more marketable • Helps attract and retain quality staff and students • Reduces pollution and improves the environment
