Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Illustrated with real-life examples from Sony, Intel, IBM, and other well-known companies, this handbook promotes practical environmental tasks that yield immediate benefits. Book News Annotation:Arguing that the notion that being environmentally responsible is
injurious to profitability is a myth, management consultant Gordon
presents examples and advice of how corporations can institute
various "green" measures and increase profits. Twenty examples of
environmental programs include Polaroid's efforts to reduce waste in
the manufacturing process, Agilent Technologies' attempts to use less
electricity, and the strategy of Texas Instruments to reduce the use
of hazardous chemicals in its products. The advice is aimed at
corporate managers and, for the most part, suggests that managers
should work towards environmental responsibility by stressing the
savings that could be accrued. She offers no advice for when being
environmentally responsible clearly interferes with profits.
