Abstract

This chapter is about developing and managing a sustainability culture in organizations. It explains the different aspects of culture and the process by which it forms. It also discusses programs, methodologies, and tools proven to be effective in shifting organizational culture toward sustainability. Creating changes in organizational sustainability requires a multipronged approach; therefore, this chapter addresses issues related to policy changes, informational dissemination, and behavioral modification at individual and group levels. It also acknowledges continuous monitoring of performance through measurement. By following the principles and steps discussed in this chapter, an organization will be able to effectively create changes in its culture to create environmental sustainability.
