Stakeholder influences on sustainability practices in the Canadian forest products industry
研究了加拿大林业中管理者对不同利益相关者影响的看法如何影响企业采用的可持续实践类型，发现社会生态利益相关者的资源扣留和经济利益相关者的资源定向使用都推动了这些实践。
Abstract We examined how managers' perceptions of different types of stakeholder influences in the Canadian forestry industry affect the types of sustainability practices that their firms adopt. Both influences involving withholding of resources by social and ecological stakeholders and those involving directed usage of resources from economic stakeholders were found to drive such practices. We found that the industry and its stakeholders have moved beyond a focus on early stages of sustainability performance such as pollution control and eco‐efficiency. However, more advanced practices, such as those involving the redefinition of business and industrial ecosystems where firms locate in a region so that they can exchange and utilize wastes generated by other firms, are in their infancy. Stakeholders and firms in the industry are focused on the intermediate sustainability phases involving recirculation of materials and redesign of processes including sustainable harvesting of lumber.
