From the Paper:

"As the twentieth century came to a close and the corporate excesses of the 1980s were beginning to slip into popular culture memory, the idea of corporate citizenship and responsibility began to play an increasingly large role in business and corporate theory. The environment has been one of those hot issues in business that has become tightly connected to the idea of corporate citizenship. Many people - and especially environmental groups - believe that large corporations and businesses are extremely responsible for the environmental damage that has been wreaked on the world. For this reason, critical literature into the subject of corporate citizenship has often focused on the role that businesses should play in regard to the environment, and whether or not it is possible for a business to be economically viable as well as ecologically conscious."
