| Abstract: | The authors developed a new framework for defining sustainable forest management (SFM) based on the literature on environmental strategy and a field study of forest-product companies. The authors applied the framework to 21 forest-industry business cases and found that a comprehensive and effective SFM approach meshes operations with strategic purpose. When SFM practices were embedded in core strategy, rather than appended as a matter of ethics or social responsibility, companies realized competitive and business advantages as well as environmental and social gains. |
