Creating sustainable corporations
指出过去的企业活动在环境上不可持续,提出通过全面环境管理和可持续组织设计来推动企业走向可持续,并认为这样做可能带来竞争和财务收益。
Abstract Corporate industrial activities of the past are environmentally unsustainable. Many of today's environmental crises are rooted in an unsustainable pattern of industrialization. Sustainable economic development can be ushered in only if corporations, the main economic engines of the future, are made environmentally sound. This can be facilitated through ‘total environmental management,’ and ‘sustainable organizational design’. Although many companies have embraced the practice of environmental management, few have seriously engaged the idea of sustainability. Those that do might reap competitive and financial benefits.
