Environment is an external force that gives out so much to the humans and to the organizations as well. For any type of company like, manufacturing or IT companies need the basic materials that is provided by the nature. Land, water and food is extracted from the environment by organizations in order to vary out the operations and bring out the final product. Environment provides an opportunity for the organization to improve their performance. But on the other hand, extracting too much of resources from the environment will lead to threat. Scarcity of resources results in environmental changes and thus increasing the complexity. Now a days the manufacturing industries are polluting the environment either by releasing the hazardous gas in to the atmosphere, dump the waste directly in to the water or throwing away the waste on land. Polluting environment is leading to global warming.
Some of the damages caused by the organizations are mentioned below:
1. The buildings of an organization use electric full 24 hours, 7 days a week even when no one is working.
2. Paper that is being used in abundance at companies are manufactured by cutting trees.
3. Some equipment end up in landfills releasing chemicals in to the land and water.
4. The heater and air conditioner used in the office set up, releases a gas in to the atmosphere leading to air pollution.
Environment is the pillar of an organization, without it’s support, it is impossible to create and operate goods and services. So, it is necessary to conserve, plants, animals and other natural resources.
