Evidence of a New Environmental Ethic: Assessing the Trend towards Investor and Consumer Activism

Abstract

For corporate managers throughout most of Western Europe and North America the environment initially emerged as a strategic consideration during the early 1970s. During this decade, the political systems of the world’s advanced nations, acting in response to both public demands and the objective criteria of serious ecological deterioration, developed the first generation of comprehensive industrial, agricultural and vehicular emission standards. Enforcement of these regulations was originally situated within existing public health agencies, but as the scope and complexity of environmental dilemmas became apparent, national and local governments found it necessary to create separate bureaucracies to assume these responsibilities (Lundqvist, 1980; Vogel, 1986; Hays, 1987). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
