This book explores corporate environmental discourse by examining a
sample of corporate environmental reports through the lens of
environmental philosophy. Findings include the predominant use of a
dualistic approach towards nature, which highlights the perceived
'separateness' of companies from the natural world. Also explored
are the corporate articulations of interconnectivity and
transcendence, two philosophical approaches that are also in common
use in western culture. The expression of these themes reveals the
discursive underpinnings of a harmful relationship with nature.
Exploring the ways in which discourse informs corporate
relationships with nature allows for an in-depth 'diagnosis' of
current environmental problems. The history of environmental
philosophy demonstrates how some powerful philosophical approaches
have shaped the western relationship with nature over time, and
continue to do so through corporate environmental reporting.
Corporate Environmental Reporting: The Western Approach to Nature
demonstrates how corporate reporting is used to reduce the
perception of the corporate responsibility, and contributes to the
erosion of broader cultural restraints against the harmful
treatment of nature. As such, discourse is integral to the survival
of the world which we - and other members of our biotic community -
are utterly reliant on. It shows the latest state of knowledge on
the topic and will be of interest both to students at an advanced
level, academics and reflective practitioners. It will be of
interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of
accounting, management, environmental philosophy and sustainable
management.
