Scott Rister explains what corporate environmental compliance is. Scott holds quite a reputation as a veteran environmental compliance educator in Wisconsin. The actual definition of compliance is "conformity in fulfilling official requirements."

It explains that environmental compliance doesn’t just mean being conscious of your surroundings but doing everything you can to preserve the environment and also choosing to deliver upon your regulatory requirements.
