Resources for obtaining background business environmental and recycling programs or on a specific company's programs. (Some suggested search types, categories or search terms shown in italics.)

  - EnviroLink is a non-profit online community that unites hundreds of organizations and volunteers around the world with millions of people in more than 150 countries. It provides articles and other written resources as well as discussion groups and links to organizations. Subject resource categories include Environmental Economics, Sustainable Business, Sustainable Development, and Waste Management. (The latter includes Recycling.)

- Topic Finder divides articles into six categories, one of which is Environment. Click on the “Topics” tab and select browse the subject directory to access Environment and its three subdivisions: Natural Resources, Pollution, and Regulation. Each of these subcategories has further subdivisions which may contain useful articles, e.g. under Pollution you will find Pollution control with further subdivisions such as Recycling. Select "View articles" for full text.

Use Basic Search for keywords, e.g. Environmental audits or to combine a topic and a company such as Nike and environment. Case studies and Guidelines may be helpful terms to add to the company name.

Use Advanced Search to find Thesaurus. Search environment for all terms beginning with environment or environmental. Select and click "Add Term."

Use Browse Lists to limit search to specific companies. This is useful when they have similar names or are subsidiaries, related firms, etc. Check Subdivisions under company names.
