Corporations are facing a fundamental shift in the nature of environmental,
health, safety, and social responsibil-ity (EHS&SR) issues. These dynamics
will affect their ability to bring products to market, raise capital and
either expand existing or develop new facilities. Yet business executives,
and even some EHS&SR managers, are un-aware of the full significance of the

to as non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This article describes the
challenges of this transition and makes recommendations on how to turn these
challenges into competitive opportunities. Corporate Environmental Strategy:
