Description

This article explores how senior managers might choose to address the challenge of environmental sustainability, not just for the sake of it being a moral imperative, but to perform their fiduciary responsibilities and to prepare their companies for the disruptive changes that the future holds. Given the gulf between how senior managers perceive the world and how activists, journalists and legislators see it, the path toward better environmental performance is likely to be an arduous one for many companies. While there are no easy solutions, the author suggests six strategic options and an equal number of steps to bolster the chances of choosing the right path.
