The Development of Environmental Management
In recent years, environmental issues have become more and more important in business. This is due to the emergence of shortages concerning natural resources and environmental goods. Environmental management has become an independent field of research in business science, which implements aspects concerning the environment in the decision processes of companies.

Environmental Management at the TU Dresden
The Faculty of Business and Economics of the TU Dresden went one step further by establishing a special Chair of Business Administration, esp. Environmental Management in 1996. The chair's focus lies in teaching and research on environmental management, i.e. integrating economic and environmental aspects into management decisions.
