SUMMARY:Environmental Economics\, Policy and Management Monthly Seminar Series: Dennis Aigner
DESCRIPTION:Sustainabilityand Competitiveness in Mexico  \nDennis J. Aigner \nUniversity of California\, Irvine and EGADE Business School\,\nTecnológico de Monterrey \nand \nAntonio Lloret \nInstituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México \nJanuary 2013  \nABSTRACT \nThis paper summarizes\nthe findings of a research project aimed at benchmarking the environmental\nsustainability practices of the top 500 Mexican companies.  This was done\nby surveying firms with regard to various aspects of their adoption of environmental\nsustainability practices\, including who or what prompted adoption\, future\nadoption plans\, decision-making responsibility\, and internal/external\nchallenges.  The survey also explored how the adoption of environmental\nsustainability practices relates to the competitiveness of these firms. \nThe sample consisted\nof 103 self-selectedfirms representing the six primary business sectors in the\nMexican economy.  Because the Manufacturing sector is significantly\noverrepresented in the sample and because of its importance in addressing\nissues of environmental sustainability\, when appropriate\, specific results for\nthis sector are reported and contrasted to the overall sample. \nOur results suggest\nthat Mexican companies are very active in the various areas of business where\nenvironmental sustainability is relevant. Not surprisingly\, however\, the\nMexican companies are seen to be at an early stage of development along the\nsustainability “learning curve”. The vast majority of these firms see adopting\nenvironmental sustainability practices as being profitable and think this will\nbe even more important in the future. BIOGRAPHYDennis\nJ. Aigner\nis Emeritus Professor of Management & Economics in the Paul Merage School\nof Business at the University\n of California\, Irvine\n(UCI).
