Organisational Strategies for Sustainable Development: Developing A Research Agenda for the New Millennium

Environmental issues have been on the agendas of industry and academia for nearly thirty years. While the bulk of this research has focused on environmental sustainability, the late 1990s saw a broadening of the scope of this field of inquiry to include social, environmental and economic sustainability. In this paper I discuss the emergence of organisational strategies for sustainable development and their implications for management theory and practice. I discuss the emergence of environmental issues and their implications for strategy, and describe briefly the theoretical and practical implications of integrating environmental and social issues into corporate strategies. I also discuss my own work in this field and how it relates to other research.
