Description: "The Business of Greening debates the relationship between business and greening, and where this relationship is heading. The book gives voice to industrial actors in context - employees, employers, managers, technical specialists, regulators - in their organisations, within industrial sectors or as part of wider institutional regimes. The business of greening is taken as socially constructed, shaped through tensions and competing interests. It produces outcomes that are sometimes unexpected, sometimes hopeful. These outcomes are explored by examining a range of workers, including estate agents, bankers, bakers, printers, regulators, in small and large corporations."

"Contributors write from different social science perspectives - sociology, geography, organisational science, psychology. This is a collection of findings from field projects within the Global Environmental Change research programme of the UK Economic and Social Research Council, and will be of particular interest to students and researchers of environmental and business studies, and to those who shape environmental policy in government and industry."--Jacket.
