In fact, Everlight itself was “ pushed ” into green accounting in 1998. Because dye manufacturing is a high-pollution industry, European clients wanted Everlight to disclose the pollution control expenditures and other related environmental expenses for each of its products, so those clients could determine whether Everlight ’ s prices were reasonable.
話說永光 1998 年開始推動「綠色會計」時也是「被迫」的，由於染料是高污染產業，歐洲客戶要求他們提出各項產品的汙染防治費及相關的環保成本，以便比對永光報價是否合理。
