We wish we could say that finding Eco-Advantage will be easy. But like excellence in any form, you have to work for it. We know this runs contrary to the message in many of the books and articles about “green business." Ever since a few leaders like 3M demonstrated the .Payoffs of eco-efficiency, going green has been portrayed as a sure thing. Unfortunately, not every environmental effort produces win-win results. Developing innovative products, bringing them to market successfully, keeping customers happy, and other elements of business success are difficult enough. Adding an environment...

Companies find many ways to talk about how they handle environmental and social issues. Some focus on "triple bottom line" performance or sustainability. Others frame their work in terms of corporate social responsibility, stewardship, citizenship, or environment, health, and safety. Any of these approaches can serve to galvanize action and create Eco-Advantage. The key lies in execution—including environment and social issues in business operations. But each company needs to find the language and organizational structures that work within its own culture. At the operational level, managi...

We studies dozens of companies during our four years of research. A few have not evolved in their thinking since the 1970s. They are still grousing about legislation and complying with it grudgingly. Others have begun to see the business opportunities in going "beyond compliance." A few have embarked on bold new initiatives to provide solutions to the world's environmental ills—like GE's plan to sell renewable energy, efficient power generation, water purification, and much more. The  companies who "get" the interface between environmentalism and business—the ones that are on their way...

What about small business.  Can they sit this one out? In a world, no. Here are six reasons why: Laws that once applied only to big business are encroaching on smaller enterprises. Even bakeries and gas stations must now comply with clean air regulations. Small companies often have an edge in innovation. Of the more than $1, 00 billion in R&D money that each year is plowed into the i tin tech" marketplace, the bulk goes to new, smaller ventures win historically have produced more breakthrough products and services. Going after the consumption choices of individuals remains difficu...

For some enterprises, a new green perspective will be trans-formative, leading to fresh thinking, new markets, profitability gains, and increased value. For others, the environmental lens may emerge more gradually and modestly, as another critical element of corporate strategy. With time, these companies may find long-term, sustained advantage, but not dramatic immediate gains, front being green. For the big, heavy industries, the gains are closer to being assured. But smaller and "cleaner" companies will find surprising benefits as well. In today's world, no company, big or small, operatin...

Before we can start with business, we need to do research and study on companies at various stages that dealing with environmental issues. For example,  Sony have to learned it from the  hard lesson with its main product, PlayStation game systems. sony logoSony spending over $100 million building a supplier audit system to solve problems before they emerge with other company. In terms of Sony entertainment products, all Blu-ray Disc Player parts and all other products that are lead and cadmium-free, based on EU ROHS directive being limited, and major plastic parts of the Blu-ray Disc Player that are free of predominated flame retardants.

In late 2008, Sony reduced Blu-ray Disc Player packaging volume about 55% on select models. This resulted 43% reduction of CO2 emissions as a result of more efficient shipping the environment and creating better environment for us.

Currently, Green Wave such as Sony are facing two fundamental forces which is:

  • Worldwide Pollution
  • Natural resources  wasting
  • A world that full of  people that insist that the business companies to take responsibility of natural environment

These drivers are transforming of market dynamics. The business organization are do it the old fashio ways by obsolete and imposing challenges that every company. This indirectly creates opportunities for Eco-Advantage.

The Natural Forces of Environment

Under the Wave lies an assortment of local, regional, national, and worldwide environmental problems that limit business choices in the marketplace require management attention. In addition, some of the issues from water shortages to climate change, threaten to restructure markets as well as the planet. Not only that other companies that directly or indirectly  related will also facing smaller impacts. But all of them provide opportunities for those who will react in  most creatively and efficiently.

Some environment issues such as ozone layer depletion are being managed pretty well already. ozone layer depletionOthers verge on crisis. The most pressing issues, like climate change, promise to affect every business, large and small, in every industry. Others are strategically important for business only in certain contexts. And there are a dozen more issues with industry which can bring specific impacts that could also be significant to the global worlds.

People being asking what that makes these pressures a matter to their business strategy ?? The answer actually lies under terms of our economy rests on the asset base of the natural world. This is because all the natural resources are threatened ripples will move through society and across the all the corporate world.

These issues are very complicated. The fact that the underlying science are often complex and even contradictory at times, makes the situation even more volatile and environmental policy making highly contested. Some public policy choices could drive whole industries into obsolescence. Can the coal business survive in a carbon-constrained world? According to the research, those affected will not go quietly. In fact, coal companies are working hard to shape the direction of climate change legislation or action.

energyOn the other side of the ledger are companies and industries that will be crippled if we don’t take action to stem environmental losses. The skiing industry will be just one small symbolic that show economic loss if global warming and energy constraints continue on their current path such as airlines, transportation, and all energy-intensive businesses are hang in balance. Everyone’s insurance costs will rise if reinsurance jack up rates to handle the growing claims from climate change-related natural disasters.

The diversity of environmental issues, variety of interests, and range of scientific uncertainties can be daunting if not only executives can just throw up their hands in despair and confusion. Companies require stay on top of these and encounter the challenges no matter how complex, both to reduce risk and to pounce on emerging opportunities for their business.
