Environmental issues have been on the agendas of industry and academia for nearly thirty years. While the bulk of this research has focused on environmental sustainability, the late 1990s saw a broadening of the scope of this field of inquiry to include social, environmental and economic sustainability. In this paper I discuss the emergence of organisational strategies for sustainable development and their implications for management theory and practice. I discuss the emergence of environmental issues and their implications for strategy, and describe briefly the theoretical and practical implications of integrating environmental and social issues into corporate strategies. I also discuss my own work in this field and how it relates to other research.
