Abstract

The environmental transformation of the business consists of adopting ways to prevent and correct its environmental impact. Many enterprises adopt a reactive perspective in the environmental transformation. This proactively is motivated, among other, by the competition expectations, so to say, by the potential to generate a competitive advantage. Avia to obtain a competitive advantage is to be differentiated within a ecologic compromise, reinforcing the competitive position in those segment that, concern about the environmental preservation, value the ecologic impact of their buying decisions. Consequently, the increase environmental consciousness of the consumers and its channel of responsible ecological consumption, constitute key determinats in the adoptions of the environmental practices by the business side. As the management philosophy derivates from the marketing approach, market orientation, priories the satisfaction of consumers needs, which constitutes a potential element in this logic parallelism between ecologic consumption and environmental transformation. Definitively, the marketing approach facilitates that the business sector answers to the social concern environmental sustain and it contributes in this way to ease the classical economy-ecology conflict. In this article is contextualized, develop and argued this idea and it is given empirical evidence to this respect.
