Running Head: ROLE IN THE ENVIROMENT
Introduction
We all have the responsibility to protect the environment at some or the other stage. Under
the environment responsibility of the Corporates, it is expected from the business leader to protect
the environment. Apart from focusing on the business activities it is the duty of the leader to take
care of the environment as the business leaders makes use of the resources of the society and in
return it becomes a by default duty to take care of the business environment. This aspect is quire
debatable since the past few decades and now it has become the hot matter of the business.
Governments of all over the world are now aligned together to maintain the sustainability in the
environment, for the conservation of the business environment. This report will discuss in detail
about the role of the business leaders in protecting the environment and the importance of such role
is necessary to communicate to the employees (Grayson & Hodges, 2017).
Question 1
The business leaders can grow their business strategically once they start to protect the
environment as the investors as well as the society associated with the business are also required to
respond to the environment (Guerrero, 2017). The role of the business leader is to assess the external
environment carefully by scrutinizing and scanning the environment in detail. Since the
environmental challenges appear to be the challenging and the spatial, it is the duty of the leaders to
scan the environment carefully to diagnose any threat prevailing (Grayson & Hodges, 2017).
The business leaders must set the clear priorities so that they can understand the needs of the
company. Uncertainty is the major challenge for the leaders especially in the case of the environment
as the fluctuations are of high level and there should be the proper connection between the leadership
and the actions to get the better results (Siyech, 2017).

The importance of such role is such that it is not confined to just one person that is the
business leader rather the responsibility also lies in the hands of the employees to keep the
environment safe and healthy. This awareness can be created amongst the employees through various
methods such as weekly meetings on the sustainability of the environment (Gruber, et al 2017).
Further the workshops or the camps can be organized to promote more awareness. In fact the
practical training can be given in the workshops so that the employees can feel the real life
experience.
The importance can also be communicated by involving them while discussing the important issues
regarding the environment so that their ideas can also be merged to make them more interested by
themselves.
Question 2
There are different and a wide range of the environmental policies that are required to be fulfilled by
the business people. It depends on the organization, which environmental policies are required to be
complied by the organization. The different examples of the environment policies of the United
States are such as Environmental protection Agency for the purpose of regulating of the water as
well as the air pollution. The limits of the greenhouse emission have been suggested to the business
leaders as well as the modifications of to the United States energy policy have been undertaken
(Pettenger, 2017). These plans and the policies are very vital for the future sustainability and its
existence is required to be made aware to the employees as they would understand the real means of
it. There are several agencies in the United States which are to be complied by the business leaders
of the organisations. Some of the examples are provided in the table.
