OREGON, LAKE OSWEGO, Sep. 3 -/E-Wire/Business Wire/-- Available for purchase today at www.nontoxicceo.com, the new business book The Nontoxic CEO outlines an innovative strategy of chemical management, focused on reducing hazardous chemicals while saving money. Author Mark Wysong -- with two decades' experience in chemical management and corporate responsibility -- has created a no-nonsense analysis of modern corporate organization, arguing that social and environmental consciousness has been disconnected from the bottom line for too long.

The Nontoxic CEO guides proactive executives to work within their existing government-mandated hazardous chemical compliance departments to produce widespread social, environmental and fiscal benefits. Using the new concept of Compliance-Side Total Chemical Management (CSTCM), businesses have the power to better protect employees, communities and the planet, while providing significant cost savings to their organizations.

The U.S. government estimates that more than three million American businesses deal with an overwhelming 650,000 hazardous chemicals in a wide variety of industries, putting workers, communities and the environment at risk. This translates into a heavy burden of government regulations and corporate responsibility, creating a society hyper-conscious of the environmental impacts of big business. While public interest groups and unions want industry to provide a safer environment, shareholders want bigger returns on their investments. The Nontoxic CEO provides a roadmap for business leaders to ensure worker, community, and government regulatory trust, while improving the bottom line. The book includes examples of companies that -- through reducing hazardous chemical inventories from 30 to 70 percent -- have been able to streamline operations, reduce risks, and save millions of dollars. The book also addresses the benefits to greater Homeland Security that hazardous chemical reduction nationally will mean for America. The Nontoxic CEO provides the blueprint to a profound business revolution.
