Sustainability Management

To start, topics of sustainability, and instruments of environmental policy will be explained. We indicate how environmental policy is needed to correct market distortions caused by externalities, and corporate profitability and long term survival is also influenced by this policy. Environmental strategies can support business strategy and competitiveness provided they are properly chosen. We analyse the environmental strategy options of firms and selection of environmental tools that exist in the corporate toolbox, together with the circumstances that influence the correct choice among strategies and tools. The greenest is not necessarily the best for all kinds of companies.
