Abstract: Environment is a matter of serious concern to everybody. It is indeed a matter of life and death to every nation. Business has a broader social responsibility that encompasses legal, ethical, economic and environmental obligations.It should be understood that business is a social proposition, too. A business organization, while making profit in the normal course of its operation, must actively respond to the needs and expectations of the society at large.

It is now widely accepted that a firm must take steps to protect and conserve the environment for the common benefit of mankind.The protection of environment is a collective responsibility of all individuals, groups, organizations and governments.
