“…During the early stage, the movement was driven by the compliance-based paradigm in which legal and regulatory considerations were the primary driving forces behind corporate environmental responses (Li, 2001;Rosen, 2001). This phase was characterized by lawobedience behavior, driven by command and control or regulatory regime-based considerations, and internally justified by cost considerations.…”

Today, more corporations disclose information about their environmental performance in response to stakeholder demands of environmental responsibility and accountability. What information do corporations disclose on their websites? This paper investigates the environmental management policies and practices of the 200 largest corporations in the world. Based on a content analysis of the environmental reports of Fortune’s Global 200 companies, this research analyzes the content of corporate environmental disclosures with respect to the following seven areas: environmental planning considerations, top management support to the institutionalization of environmental concerns, environmental structures and organizing specifics, environmental leadership activities, environmental control, external validations or certifications of environmental programs, and forms of corporate environmental disclosures.

“…In the late 1980s and early 1990s, environmental work in the industrial sector became less driven by compliance and more driven by internal strategy, following increasing environmental expectations from various stakeholders (Lent and Wells, 1994).

a b s t r a c tQuality Management is considered to be suitable as support for the integration of sustainability considerations in areas such as product development. The purpose of this paper is to review research in which Quality Management methods, tools or practices have been used in conjunction with sustainable development initiatives. We have identified four themes that synthesize the research on Quality Management and its support to approaches for sustainable development: (I) supporting sustainability through integration of management systems, (II) Quality Management as support to the implementation of Environmental Management Systems and to the management of sustainability, (III) supporting integration of sustainability considerations in daily work, and (IV) supporting stakeholder management and customer focus. By far the most research has been conducted within the first two themes. This paper also contributes with proposals for future research, such as the need to move beyond existing standards and management systems to enable more radical improvements, and the need for empirical evidence of the effect of integrated management systems on environmental performance. We also highlight the point that Quality Management practices and tools must be developed and adapted in order to support sustainability considerations.

“…Já no estágio de integração externa, as atividades da gestão ambiental são integradas à estratégia empresarial e focadas na exploração de oportunidades estratégicas identificadas no ambiente competitivo da empresa (ROSEN, 2001). Segundo Donaire (1999), esse posicionamento organizacional se iniciou, historicamente, quando grandes empresas químicas da Alemanha Ocidental começaram a perceber que as despesas realizadas com a gestão ambiental se transformavam em vantagem competitiva.…”

-497 - RESUMoO presente trabalho trata de um aspecto/filosofia gerencial de recursos humanos que raras vezes é explorado de forma integrada à gestão ambiental empresarial: o empowerment (ou empoderamento) dos funcionários. Com efeito, os aspectos humanos são considerados fatores não técnicos que afetam diretamente a inserção da dimensão ambiental nas empresas. Dentre esses aspectos humanos necessários para a gestão ambiental destaca-se o empowerment dos funcionários. Dessa forma, este artigo apresenta fundamentação teórica sobre gestão ambiental na empresa, sobre empowerment dos funcionários e sobre a integração dessas temáticas. Por fim, um modelo conceitual para efetiva gestão ambiental empresarial por meio do empowerment é apresentado. Espera-se contribuir, desse modo, para a atuação de pesquisadores de gestão e dirigentes organizacionais, devido a um escopo ainda escasso de articulações teóricas sobre o assunto.Palavras-Chave: Empowerment; Gestão ambiental; Modelo conceitual.Recebido
