Ecological Sustainability and Organizational Functioning

Chapter 30 in Handbook of Spirituality and Business, 2011, pp 245-253 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There are many definitions of ecological sustainability. I consider that ecological sustainability, in the context of organizational functioning, involves learning to operate all of our enterprises today in such a way that there are nondeclining resources and abundant, high-quality choices available to future generations. Much has been written and talked about in the realm of ecological sustainability and the role of organizations in promoting a sustainable and high-quality presence on the planet for future generations, and many organizations have taken significant steps in the direction of ecological sustainability. However, the overall picture at present is bleak, as we realize how much is still needed to secure a sustainable future.
