Answer to Question 1

Simon Zadek has suggested that organizations travel through five stages of
responsiveness to issues of sustainability:

Defensive stage: company denies claims that they are responsibility for
negative outcomes.

Compliance stage: company accepts responsibility and costs of following rules and legislation as the cost of doing business.

Managerial stage: company integrates sustainability objectives into the
management goals at multiple levels of the organization.

Strategic stage: sustainability issues become fully integrated into a company's business strategy.

Civil stage: company representatives promote wider efforts on behalf of
sustainability.
