Question

When building a new residential development or mall, a national real estate organization typically does not remove many trees, basing its decision on the belief that natural resources are limited and the company must not compromise the ability of future generations to meet its own needs. To which philosophy is the company adhering?

Answer 1

The answer is: Corporate environmental responsibility

Step-by-step explanation:

Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) is usually a part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It deals with environmental aspects of the corporation´s activities or operations such as:

• Reduce or eliminate waste or emissions.
• Maximize efficiency and productivity of the resources the corporation uses.
• Reduce or eliminate the operations and activities that affect the environment on a negative way.
• Recycling materials and obsolete assets.
• Etc.

In this specific question, the real estate organization is reducing its negative impact on the land by preserving trees.
