cases, environmental practices are associated to good business procedures (Hendry & Vesilind, 2005). When a manager’s perspective is oriented towards compliance, their responsibility focuses on shareholder satisfaction. In these cases, social issues are driven by institutionalization processes or stakeholder influence. These stimuli are mainly exerted by regulators and, more frequently, by communities, for the company to fulfill environmental standards (Freeman, 1984). Environmental practices associated to compliance include the control of air emissions, pretreatment of waste water and the disposal of hazardous materials (Hendry & Vesilind, 2005). In a societal perspective, the responsibility focuses on doing good and attending to social needs beyond economic and legal obligations (Loe, Terry, Ferrell & Mansfield, 2000). In this case, environmental practices are associated to reducing adverse impacts on health or the environment (Hendry & Vesilind, 2005). The distinctive characteristics of manager´s perspective are presented in Table 6. Table 6. Manager´s perspective and Environmental Strategies Manager’s perspective
