Abstract

Environmental responsibility is the idea that business organizations have an obligation to consider their impact on the natural environment. This obligation may be found in either the laws of the relevant jurisdiction(s) where they operate or in a broader moral obligation as an actor in society. The impact may be as a result of business consumables, production processes, or final outputs. Thus, businesses may have an environmental responsibility with respect to decisions about inputs, including sourcing, process choices, which may involve more or lesser impacts and discharges into the natural environment, and the environmental impacts of the specific goods or services they are supplying.

Environmental responsibilities are found in various hard and soft law instruments. Legal environmental responsibilities can be litigated...
