Environmental Consciousness in Multinational Corporations
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page paper discussing the shift in corporate environmental thinking in the past 20 years from one of minimum compliance to local regulations to adopting environmental responsibility as a matter of strategy. Multinational corporations in the past have been accused of fleeing to developing nations only to take advantage of weak environmental laws and greater attendant opportunity to operate outside the regulations they would face in nations of greater development. A more realistic view is that businesses most successful in many developing nations are environmentally-intensive ones such as petroleum refining and circuit board construction. Many US-based organizations have come to understand that prevention generally is less costly than cleanup, a concept that many multinational corporations of diverse national origin have adopted as well.
