Burying bad news? How German companies communicate environmental impacts
Abstract
Purpose
Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.
Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Reporting on environmental impacts is still a relatively modern concept, and certainly academics have only been analysing the activity for around the last 30 years or so. In that time, acute investigation has thrown up a number of inconsistencies and even malpractice on the side of organisations, and the number of environmental disasters hardly seem to be diminishing. So after several decades of these reporting activities, is there any real substantive reason for them to carry on in the same way?
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
