From concern to consumption
Purpose – This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint 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 – Industrial pollution is widely blamed for many environmental problems. Awareness of such issues has risen dramatically over recent years. As a result, concern for the environment now occupies a prominent place in public consciousness. Most business organizations realize this and fully accept the need to conduct their affairs in a socially responsible manner. Environmental welfare is a major part of this obligation. Compliance is a must. But demand for green solutions also presents firms with a rich source of opportunity. Smart operators will be alert to this. Developing products that benefit rather than harm the environment can prove a highly lucrative exercise. An ability to create such products is not sufficient though. Companies need to get the message across too. Practical implications – The paper 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.
