They do:--
The world's biggest organizations like Pepsico, Google,Samasung,HCL,TATA etc understand that they have far more responsibility to a much broader range of stakeholders than some might believe. All these large organizations have already created and are engaging in an environmental management strategy that will carry them close to their ultimate goal of attaining corporate sustainability and corporate social responsibility.
In the carbon economy that is now emerging, every corporation regardless of its objectives must look inward and develop its own environmental management strategy. This is no longer a question of paying lip service to environmentalists, rather it is something that is now required by a whole range of stakeholders and is ignored at the company's peril.
The size of a footprint was brought into focus when the International Standardization Organization produced its famous series on corporate sustainability issues. It was realized that this footprint was far too big in the majority of cases and that a move to change was overdue. This required an analysis and a move to decrease this impact.
While the series standards have been adopted worldwide as organizations seek to become certified and recognized as in compliance, over the last few years the concept of sustainability has become far more focused. Research, findings and statistics constantly underline the need for us all to become more sustainable and to help reverse the significant damage that has already been caused to our climate. Every organization must elevate their environmental management strategy to the status of urgent.
