During this workshop the hypothesis was posed that environmental sustainability is the ultimate goal of the environmental manager. There were varying opinions on this and no consensus. However there was consensus regarding the belief that the profession should have a unifying goal. What that goal is or should be was not determined during the brief discussions. Current examples of lesser “goals” included regulatory compliance, pollution prevention, and environmental risk/liability avoidance. A question was asked whether these were actually goals, or rather objectives along the way. The workshop groups briefly explored what each of these goals were actually working toward accomplishing, and considered whether or not these goals were a means to an end, or if these goals were the end. No consensus was reached on the ultimate goal of the profession.

The author insists that Environmental Professional is not a profession, but a government-endorsed, vague occupation without description of aims and responsibilities and, apparently, no meaning. The author uses sarcastic style in strongly criticizing the [...]

“ABSTRACT. This paper offers directions for the continuing dialogue between business ethicists and environmental philosophers. I argue that a theory of corporate social responsibility must be consistent with, if not derived from, a model of [...]

The hypothesis we will explore in the Rochester symposium workshop is that the goal of the environmental manager working in the private sector is environmental sustainability.
Another issue for discussion, if time allows, is for us to consider what might be an appropriate time frame for environmental managers to be looking at as reasonable for achieving sustainability. Forty [...]
