La sostenibilità non è un sogno impossibile. È un imperativo globale, un traguardo scientifico e politico che l’umanità ha davanti a sé. La grande sfida della sostenibilità consiste nell’attivare una relazione equilibrata e virtuosa tra fonti energetiche, sicurezza alimentare, crescita demografica, agricoltura rispettosa degli ecosistemi, rapporti tra paesi ricchi e poveri, uso di pesticidi e fertilizzanti, disuguaglianze economiche e sociali, lavoro e ricchezza, credito e commercio internazionale, produzione industriale. Con la proficua interazione tra i soggetti che operano sul campo e professionisti e scienziati, le politiche sostenibili impongono un cambio di mentalità affinché uomini e donne diventino consapevoli agenti del cambiamento e soggetti capaci di coniugare saperi e pratiche virtuose per ridurre povertà e disuguaglianze. Sostenibilità e sviluppo sostenibile richiedono un’attenzione più alta non solo al progresso economico e sociale, ma anche alla difesa delle dinamiche ambientali e delle risorse naturali da cui dipendono le nostre speranze di prosperità.

The paper examines the necessity of corporate cultural transformation for implementing Total Quality Management (TQM) in organizations and then explores the basic elements of organizational culture in order for setting the stage for formulating the possible ways of transforming organizational culture to make it appropriate for TQM. Based on secondary data, the paper argues that change of corporate culture is inevitable for a fast-changing organization that aspires to gain competitive advantage in the turbulent business environment through continuous quality improvement. It suggests that (a) there is no best way to transform organizational culture and (b) changed culture needs to be sustained for continued success. It also attempts to identify lessons from cultural transformation efforts in the TQM organizations. Implications for management and organizations are presented, along with the directions for future research.

Il concetto di lavoro sostenibile appare la chiave di volta per rispondere alle sfide poste dai cambiamenti demografici in corso che hanno sì consentito alle persone di vivere più a lungo e meglio ma, al contempo, hanno aumentato lo squilibrio tra popolazione attiva e inattiva ed alterato le dinamiche del mercato del lavoro, indebolendo ulteriormente la sostenibilità dei sistemi di Welfare. Per questo motivo, appare necessario intraprendere azioni coraggiose e politiche “trasformative”, orientate verso lo sviluppo del capitale umano dei giovani, la formazione e ricollocazione degli adulti, il mantenimento, nel mercato del lavoro, dei cosiddetti anziani sfruttandone ancora le competenze ma anche verso adeguate politiche di conciliazione vita-lavoro. Il lavoro sostenibile potrebbe dunque svolgere un ruolo cruciale nel mercato del lavoro, andando a collegare differenti politiche in un’agenda globale, con un obiettivo a lungo termine: quello di adeguare il lavoro al lavoratore, in modo che rimanga in salute e attivo quanto più a lungo possibile. Un percorso che andrebbe però accompagnato dall’impegno delle imprese di assorbire e praticare la cultura della sostenibilità: attraverso cioè la creazione di valore economico socialmente e ambientalmente sostenibile, le imprese potranno contribuire all’affermarsi di un modello di sviluppo sostenibile, basato sui concetti di equità inter e intra-generazionale.

Mounting evidence reveals that the existing scale of human enterprise has already surpassed global ecological limits to growth. This ecological reality clearly counteracts the possibility of continued exponential growth in the twenty-first century. In the absence of international, national, or state initiatives to implement a no-growth imperative founded on ecological limits, this book takes the position that local communities have an obligation to take the lead in promoting a new politics of sustainability directed at recognizing and ...

Thirty years ago, the UN report Our Common Future placed sustainable development firmly on the international agenda. The Imperatives of Sustainable Development takes the ethical foundations of Our Common Future and builds a model that emphasizes three equally important moral imperatives – satisfying human needs, ensuring social justice, and respecting environmental limits. This model suggests sustainability themes and assigns thresholds to them, thereby defining the space within which sustainable development can be achieved. The authors accept that there is no single pathway to the sustainable development space. Different countries face different challenges and must follow different pathways. This perspective is applied to all countries to determine whether the thresholds of the sustainability themes selected have been met, now and in the past. The authors build on the extensive literature on needs, equity, justice, environmental science, ecology, and economics, and show how the three moral imperatives can guide policymaking. The Imperatives of Sustainable Development synthesizes past reasoning, summarizes the present debate, and provides a clear direction for future thinking. This book will be essential reading for everyone interested in the future of sustainable development and in the complex environmental and social issues involved.

“[The authors] argue that with more integration and cooperation between businesses, governments and communities, a more sustainable economy is possible.” —The Environmental Magazine We find ourselves between a rock and a hot place—compelled by the intertwined forces of peak oil and climate change to reinvent our economic life at a much more local and regional scale. The Resilience Imperative argues for a major SEE (social, ecological, economic) change as a prerequisite for replacing the paradigm of limitless economic growth with a more decentralized, cooperative, steady-state economy. The authors present a comprehensive series of strategic questions within the broad areas of: Energy sufficiency Local food systems Interest-free financing Affordable housing and land reform Sustainable community development Each section is complemented by case studies of pioneering community initiatives rounded out by a discussion of transition factors and resilience reflections. With a focus on securing and sustaining change, this provocative book challenges deeply embedded cultural assumptions. Profoundly hopeful and inspiring, The Resilience Imperative affirms the possibilities of positive change as it is shaped by individuals, communities, and institutions learning to live within our ecological limits. “Resilience is the watchword for our dawning era of economic and environmental instability . . . The Resilience Imperative is exactly what’s needed to get us moving in the right direction.” —Richard Heinberg, author of Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival “Exceptionally valuable—in vision, in strategic understanding, in concrete ways to build forward. A handbook for a morally meaningful and sustainable future!” —Gar Alperovitz, author of America Beyond Capitalism

"Sustainability is not unique to health, but is a unique vehicle for promoting healthy values. This book focuses readers on upstream decision-making in the healthcare delivery setting to think through the implications of our decisions from fiscal, societal and environmental perspectives. It aims to link health values with sustainability drivers in order to enlighten leadership about the value of sustainability as we move toward a new paradigm of health. Carrie R. Rich, J. Knox Singleton, and Seema Wadhwa explore leadership priorities, linking them to sustainability, through an imaginary health leader, Fred, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Memorial Hospital, a community hospital based in the United States. Each chapter frames a leadership priority through a storyline that involves the main character. Practical applications featuring evidence-based sustainability accomplishments and the coordinating reflections of renowned healthcare leaders are woven throughout the book. Every chapter includes leadership tools, illustrations and tables with tips and data to make an evidence-based case in support of health sustainability. The book includes a healthcare sustainability syllabus as well as suggested reading and teaching resources. Bringing together the key components and concepts of environmentally sustainable healthcare operations, this book will be of great importance to researchers, students and professionals working in health and healthcare management."--Provided by publisher.

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,0 (Honours Degree), , course: Supply Chain Management, language: English, abstract: Today, most Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are eager to install sustainable standards not just within their own but also within their supply chain operations. While the two pillars of sustainability, economic and environmental, are well researched within this field of business, the third pillar, social sustainability (SSS)lags behind within the researchers' focus. However, because of recent social scandals within the supply chain operations of Multinationals, an investigation targeting social sustainability and its effective implementation within the supply chain would provide important insights into such yet neglected field of research. This thesis tries to tackle this issue and analyses whether MNCs extent their SSS practices to suppliers in regulatory distant countries the same way as they do within countries close to their home market. The thesis intends to fill the research gap which exists around SSS and provides valuable insides into how consistent MNCs are in extending SSS practices among their supplier network. On the basis of telephone interviews and company data, the thesis analyses the social sustainability efforts of The Otto Group, the second largest online retailer in the world. The two methods to monitor suppliers' compliance that are examined in this thesis are assessment and collaboration. Results show, that Multinationals should not rely on either one of these two monitoring methods, but should combine them, using Assessment only as first step, and Collaboration as second. Since assessment usually provides the buyer solely with a snapshot of the current situation at suppliers' site, collaboration as second step provides the relationship with a more mutual character. Frequent non-compliance of parties, the buyer and the supplier, emphasise that collaboration and therefore mutual controlling processes are necessary. In case the business relationship between buyer and supplier does involve operations in risky, low regulated countries, these findings are even more highlighted.
