| description | Going green is part of adherence to the 2015 Paris Agreement and the requirement that everyone needs to do their share. The chapter starts by presenting the call for a greener industry through international policy. Following sections highlight the role of industries in the environmental playing field and how focus has gradually changed performance practice and responsibilities. Sections also address commodification of nature and how industrial developments and job creation may come into conflict with ecological considerations. This is followed by focus on companies’ motivation, strategies, advantages, and costs of going green, to businesses that neglect paying attention to green matters. Issues including reporting, certifications, responsibilities, and regulative condition are also discussed. The final section reflects on the realism of industries’ aim of turning green by addressing green growth strategies, greenwashing and rebound effects. These are all matters which may involve different geographical contexts and scale. |
