Ethical dimensions of environmental management
Abstract
Argues that corporate responsibility must span over the legal, social, economic and technological domains. Places environmental system standards and auditing in their business strategic roles and gives a stakeholder approach to environmental management with its relationship to sustainability, economic growth and improved quality of life. Outlines the importance and relevance of “green” yardsticks in non‐financial performance measurement terms. Analyses ethical dimensions, stressing that, by developing an ethical corporate culture, businesses can create both a competitive advantage and environmental excellence. Provides examples of contemporary environmental strategies in a European context.
