Green Management Strategy – An Initiative Towards Sustainable Practices

Abstract

The current efforts put on sustenance and sustainability has driven many organizations around the world to adopt environmental management practices which include all extents of green solution. While certain common tools and knowledge can be used to control, track and evaluate these green components in an interconnected element, they are generally managed on a piecemeal basis and under various management standards; and most frequently, as ad-hoc initiatives as opposed to programs. To date, pressure to practice sustainability efforts comes mainly from two main stakeholders - the management and the customers. This concept paper looks at the implementation of green management and sustainable green practices of one organization as a case study. It proposes that management has a role to play in helping to reduce negative sustainability impact. Two theories were proposed as the theoretical lens to give meaning to the research, but further research is required to support the findings of this paper.
