Abstract

This paper will first describe Mexico's National Environmental Audit Program and place it within the categories described in literature on voluntary environmental regulation. The paper will then analyze the historical evolution of the program, with discussion of three phases of development: an early phase focused on large industry and dominated by the influence of NAFTA (1993-2000); a middle phase in which the program was weakened (2000-2005); and the most recent phase in which the program was expanded to include small industry and non-industry organizations (2005-2008). Questions of interest include: what motivates companies to join the voluntary audit program? How does the program interact with mandatory enforcement and other voluntary regulatory regimes such as ISO 14000? And, is the program likely to have significant environmental benefits in the Mexican context? ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
