Book Description
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten sind die Auswirkung industrieller Aktivität auf die Umwelt immer mehr zu einem Thema in der gesellschaftlichen Diskussion geworden. Unternehmen sind heutzutage mit hohen Erwartungen in Bezug auf die Umweltfreundlichkeit ihrer Aktivitäten konfrontiert. Diese Diplomarbeit konzentriert auf das Konzept der Abfallvermeidung, das den meisten Umwelt-Strategie zugrunde liegt. Viele Unternehmen haben Abfallvermeidung bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt jedoch noch nicht eingeführt. In dieser Arbeit wird Abfallvermeidung vornehmlich aus dem Blickwinkel dieser Unternehmen analysiert. Ein kurzer Überblick über die relevanten Begriffe und Konzepte wird gegeben. Danach werden die Bedrohungen für die Unternehmensleistung erörtert, die von ökologischer Gesetzgebung, versteckten Kosten, ISO Standards und den Erwartungen diverser Stakeholder herrühren. Anschließend werden die potentiellen, von Abfallvermeidung bewirkten Nutzen und Vorteile, die die gesamte Organisation umfassen, beschrieben und evaluiert. Diese sind unter anderem zu finden in Effizienzsteigerungen, Stärkung der Organisationsstruktur und Mitarbeiter-Engagement. Eine kritische Analyse dieser Vorteile führt nicht zu fundamentalen Kritikpunkten, sondern unterstreicht eher die Notwendigkeit für eine rationale Herangehensweise an ökologisches Management. Zum Abschluss werden Empfehlungen zur Einführung von Abfallvermeidung in Unternehmen, die dieses Strategie noch nicht verfolgen, gegeben. Darunter fallen unter anderem die Integration von Abfallvermeidung in die übergreifende Strategie, Kostenidentifikation und Abfallvermeidungsprogramme, die zum Empowerment von Mitarbeitern beitragen. Schlussendlich wird betont, dass Abfallvermeidung erst der erste Schritt in Richtung nachhaltiger ökonomischer Entwicklung ist.
