    Panel Description
    Organizations and the Natural Environment: "Sustainability" and Beyond 

    Materially and culturally, formal organizations shape and are shaped by the natural environment.  Although American environmental sociology emerged as a subfield four decades ago, the growing interest of organizational scholars in environmental topics has largely coincided with the diffusion of a "sustainability" discourse and "sustainable" practices through the for-profit sector since the 1990s.  What does a specifically organizational approach contribute to the sociology of the natural environment?  This panel welcomes papers on a variety of empirical questions related to organizations and the natural environment.
