Toward Environmental Sustainability: Developing Thinking and Acting Capacity within the Oil and Gas Industry

Laurie P. Milton and James A. F. Stoner

Chapter Chapter 7 in Innovative Approaches to Global Sustainability, 2008, pp 123-155 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract “With few exceptions, top managers feel responsible to create organizations well prepared to thrive in the future. This has become an especially relevant goal, as the future more rapidly becomes the present. As a consequence ... more so than ever before managers are actively seeking ideas and insights for creating firms that will succeed in the business environments that lie ahead” (Huber 2004). It can easily be argued that firms best suited to the business environment of tomorrow will be those that take environmental sustainability seriously and that are and are seen to be environmentally sustainable themselves. Leaders everywhere are struggling to figure out what this means for their industry and for their companies.
