I recently attended part of a local workshop, called Sustaining our Watersheds in St. John’s, Newfoundland, sponsored by various levels of government. Of course, fresh water and its related ecosystems are of concern everywhere in the world and it is no different here, in this island province of Canada. The workshop offered a series of speakers who were passionate about specific issues. They

One of the greatest regrets of someone close to me who passed away was that she worked for an “unethical industry”. In most respects, she was extremely successful, working for a large corporation and being close to the top of the bureaucratic ladder. She commanded great respect and even resentment for her perceived success. However, she did it for her family and was cognizant of what she was

Currently, I am feeling speechless in the face of Canada’s recent withdrawal from Kyoto discussions in Durban, South Africa. This is how 2011 ends for me. I am thankful that Justin Trudeau has not been speechless in Canada’s parliament in relation to the environment minister’s, Peter Kent’s, manipulative behavior. Politicians are never supposed to be speechless, but it seems that the opposition

What is British Columbia doing differently while the rest of North America falls behind? The Canadian province is learning how to make carbon taxes work, but it needs the rest of the continent to become its partners. Similarly, the Kyoto Protocol, to be discussed in Durban, South Africa also needs full support from all partners, but in this case, the outcome is predicted to be dire. See the

Are the phenomena that we are concerned with in our ONE research explained using sets of independent events that should be reported on using averages? Alternatively, do we think of the problems building in our natural environment, like those associated with climate change, as related to the interdependence of events that may lead to extreme or unusual results? “Wow, we had the hottest summer on

By Andrew Hoffman More scientific data won’t convince doubters of climate change. But reframing the debate as one about values could make a difference. The American debate over climate change turns on two main themes. One is the science of the problem; the other is government measures to fix it. Many believe these themes cover the entire debate. They're wrong. Far more than science is at play

By Mark Starik Recently, I was fortunate to accompany my GW colleagues, Patricia Kanashiro (an ONE member), and Fernando Robles (of the GW International Business Dept.), to lead a group of 16 MBA students in a sustainable international business study abroad course to several cities, towns, villages, and forested areas along the Brazilian Amazon River. This is the first of perhaps several blog

By Joseph Sarkis Greenwashing is when organizations seek to send an environmental message that has little true substance. It derives from painting over some blemished product with white paint (typically fences, if you remember Tom Sawyer) whitewashing. It is a shallow covering meant to make something that may be rotten at the core look more palatable. In this case the color is green, the paint

That is the amount of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2010 according to the International Energy Agency. It is a record high. It also means that we probably have severely hurt our chances of limiting our global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius (an amount agreed to in Cancun in 2010). Even after a recession that saw this emissions amount fall in 2009, the rebound has been stronger

An article in ASQ, “Socioemotional wealth and corporate responses to institutional pressures: Do family-controlled firms pollute less?”, empirically tests whether family-owned firms respond to institutional pressures more substantively compared to nonfamily owned public corporations (Berrone, Cruz, Gomez-Mejia, and Larraza-Kintana, 2010). Institutional pressures are set in the context of the

By Andrew King It turns out that Hobbes may have been right after all. A Leviathan is needed to prevent our lives from being uncomfortable and brief. Or at least that sentiment could be read into many of the papers at the 3rd Annual ARCS Conference, sponsored by the Initiative for Global Environmental Leadership at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Among the topics most

By J. Alberto Aragon-Correa A good friend told me that ONE scholars should not attend any conference. His point was that conferences generate a huge environmental impact. Three issues are relevant here: Are conferences still necessary in the online era? Are our conferences green enough? Should the ONE scholars pay more attention to the environmental impact of the conferences? The majority

By Joseph SarkisI just became of aware of another book on climate change by Nobel Prize winner Al Gore. The book titled "Our Choice" is easy to read and very attractive. What a great thing he is doing to bring attention to this very important cause.But, then I hear of stories of the growing group of deniers who believe less and less that this is really a scientific issue. It has become a

I just got back from a trip around western Turkey, a beautiful country full of interesting contradictions. That country’s black market is significant to its economy to such an extent that reported economic statistics would not give you any indication of the standard of living there; it’s much higher; moreover, the country does not exhibit much poverty or homelessness likely due to a more

Can a law granting Mother Earth legal rights be implemented? Can it become a global standard? To celebrate Earth Day 2011, we are offering two perspectives on Bolivia's Law of Mother Earth.  The reflections come from a political scientist (Michelle Baert), and a management scholar and former lawyer (Catalin Ratiu). _ By Michelle Baert In January 2011, Bolivia passed a law “Ley De Derechos De

By Mark Starik If you've been researching and/or teaching ONE-related topics for awhile, you probably have received information, both in the postal mail and on-line, to attend various practitioner-oriented sustainability conferences, some of which indicate that "academics" are one of several conference target groups, and some offering academics lower-than-average conference registration rate.  I

From Mike Barnett So you spend weeks, months, and not uncommonly, years turning that initial idea into a fully drafted paper. And there it is -- 30+ pages of beauty! You've got the theory and the data to prove up is down, black is white, night is day; how to solve world hunger and bring peace to the planet. And written coherently and flowingly. Awesome! All that hard work has finally paid off,

by Alberto Aragon-Correa Anti-nuclear groups might think that “people” will now stop the governments’ intentions to develop new plants. In fact, nuclear power is not popular at all nowadays, and policy makers will probably try to avoid the label of “pro-nuclear”. Many people thought same after Chernobyl, however the output was very heterogeneous. In fact, many governments stopped to develop more

By Magali Delmas In California, environmental groups are fighting AB 32, the new climate law while businesses support it. Is the world upside down? AB 32 stands for the California’s Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. AB 32 requires that by 2020, the state’s greenhouse gas emissions be reduced to their 1990 levels, about a 30% reduction from current estimates. The State of California Air

By Joseph SarkisThe Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) (http://www.unprme.org/) are a big thing with schools of management these days. I know that AACSB has been pushing sustainability and signing of these principles. Deans have been signing these principles, which hopefully means that they will be living up to them.The six principles all mean something to us as O.N.E.

By Debbie de Lange A recent article by Corley and Gioia (2011; 24) in AMR discusses theory development in organizational studies and comments that, “…it is apparent that sustainability is an important issue to theorize about for the foreseeable future. Sustainability is currently viewed as “atheoretical,” so it becomes apparent that prescient theoretical work should be devoted to issues of
