Abstract

With increasing expectations on manufacturers to show leadership in reducing the negative environmental and social consequences of their operations, there are many examples of successful journeys towards sustainability. Potentially there are common steps in how organizations change and these could be common across different sectors. This research seeks to uncover what companies do to instigate and create momentum in their organization and what commonality exists. Seven steps were identified through analyzing case data across companies operating in different sectors. The steps of vision, leadership, education, simplicity, pilot, momentum and broadcast are presented and the implications for further research assessed.
