| Tiivistelmä: | This article deals with argumentation for acceptability of corporate environmental (herein as: c-env.) actions in c-env. statements, focusing on stakeholder relations and env. values. Although env. issues are strongly charged with values, the dominant stakeholder approach does not stress the value dimension. The data comprises environmental statements by Finnish business corporations in the forefront of c-env. responsibility. The results indicate that the statements argue for the acceptability of c-env. actions through three power-related rhetorical forms that are competing ways to produce acceptability in the data: dominance, subordination and equality, and joint action. Each rhetorical form describes a power-based relationship btw. stakeholders and the corporation etc. |
