Environmental

In an ideal world, regulation is replaced by stewardship; an inherent respect for the environment. In this concept of stewardship, everyone takes responsibility for their actions and the use of resources for the benefit of the community.

In the real world however, stewardship is sometimes compromised by conflicting capabilities, priorities, values and perspectives. This creates the need for regulation and enforcement.

The challenge for regulators is to balance the use of compliance tools with the recognition of stewardship efforts. Regulated entities must be made aware of the conditions for compliance, made to feel the consequences of non-compliance, and provided an opportunity to demonstrate behavior beyond compliance. When enforcement is necessary, it should be fair, focused, visible, and timely.
