Abstract

Although corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been adopted by many companies, few of them are practicing it with any formal strategy, and the common situation seems to be a portfolio of disparate CSR programs and initiatives, some of which the support core strategy and others of which appear adjacent and discretionary. The diversity of potential CSR initiatives is one issue; however, developing a strategic orientation is complicated by the fact that each company has its own unique set of drivers and motivations for CSR and ideas and responsibilities for those initiatives come from all parts and levels of the organization.Strategic planning for sustainability is far from easy or precise, if only because it requires that simultaneous consideration be given not only to economic performance and development but also to environmental protection and the social well-being of employees and other persons and groups outside of the organization. This book is intended as a comprehensive guide to the key steps required to strategically approach becoming a successful sustainable business including conducting a CSR assessment, developing a CSR strategy and the accompanying business case, developing and implementing CSR commitments, and measuring the performance and effectiveness of the planning initiative.

Abstract

When you see or read about excessive corporate profiteering, business malpractices, poor social welfare, and environmental and ecological disasters, do you have an urge to do something? With so many analysis reports, academic journals, news coverage, and documentaries on the subject, why is there so little action? Most management gurus and executives recognize that it is possible to achieve a triple bottom line -- running a business for the benefit of the people, the planet, and profit at the same time. To achieve this, businesses have to solve their internal issues involving the leadership team, the management team, and the technical team. Drawing from leadership and management practices, practical case studies, and using energy, water, raw material, waste and its associated environmental impact as examples, People, Planet, Profit describes the ten internal issues -- five technical, two leadership, and three managerial -- and solutions to these issues.

Abstract

Powder technology is a rapidly expanding technology and nowhere more than in particle characterization. There has been an explosion of new particle measuring techniques in the past ten year particularly in the field of on-line measurement. One of the main aims of this book is to bring the reader up-to-date with current practices. One important area of interest is the improvements in on-line light scattering instruments and the introduction of ultrasonic on-line devices. Another is the introduction of on-line microscopy, which permits shape analysis in conjunction with particle sizing.Schoo

Abstract

What does sustainability in the business environment really mean? The concept has evolved from a vague goal to "save the planet" to become a strategic imperative for business to enhance performance across many dimensions. We live in an age of increasing corporate accountability and if a business expects to survive for the long term, it must adhere to ever higher standards of behavior and continuously develop more sustainable ways of doing business.

Abstract

Aujourd’hui le rôle sociétal des entreprises est placé sous la loupe des médias, politiques et consommateurs. La société s’interroge sur les moyens employés par celles-ci pour atteindre leur mission. Néanmoins cette recherche de sens ne date pas de hier ! En 1987 naissait le concept de durabilité durant un sommet des Nations Unies. En 1997, John Elkington écrivait que les entreprises auraient à gagner à ne pas seulement considérer leur bilan financier, mais aussi à intégrer un reporting de leurs impacts en matière d’environnement et de société, la Triple Bottom Line. &#13;La Wallonie, dans son histoire, a été terre d’innovations au niveau technologique et industriel, est-ce encore le cas aujourd’hui ? Nos sociétés wallonnes sont-elles déjà engagées dans un processus de questionnement de leurs activités ? Quelles sont les facteurs qui faciliteraient ou bloqueraient cette transition ? Ce sont les questions auxquelles ce travail de recherche tente d’apporter des réponses.&#13;Pour ce faire, nous avons interrogé des entreprises issues du tissu économique wallon. Cela nous a permis de confronter nos différentes hypothèses avec leur réalité de terrain. Nous tenterons d’amener un éclairage qui permettra d’identifier les facteurs à creuser afin, pourquoi pas, d’accélérer la transition de nos entreprises vers plus de durabilité. Today, the societal role of companies is under the scrutiny of the media, politicians and consumers. Society is questioning the means they use to achieve their mission. However, this search for meaning is not new! In 1987, the concept of sustainability was born during a United Nations summit. In 1997, John Elkington wrote that companies should not only consider their financial balance sheet, but also integrate a reporting of their environmental and social impacts, the Triple Bottom Line. &#13;Wallonia, in its history, has been a land of technological and industrial innovations. Is this still the case today? Are our Walloon companies already engaged in a process of questioning their activities? What are the factors that would facilitate or block this transition? These are the questions to which this research work attempts to provide answers.&#13;To do so, we interviewed companies from the Walloon economic fabric. This allowed us to confront our different hypotheses with their reality in the field. We will try to shed light on the factors that need to be further explored in order to, maybe, accelerate the transition of our companies towards more sustainability.
