The Greening of a Business: Beyond the Bottom Line [ABSTRACT]

Abstract

For many years the only time the word ‘environment' came up in a discussion about business, it was in terms of the ‘business environment' or the ‘corporate environment.' Now, however, the actual environment is in play. Companies are considering their effect on the environment, governments are legislating environmental impact, and businesses are becoming increasingly aware that there are environmentally-friendly alternatives to business as usual. No matter what type of industry is being discussed, it is more than likely that the word ‘environment' is having an impact on corporate goals and practices.
