  • Reasons to Adopt ISO 50001 Energy Management System
    sustainability Article Reasons to Adopt ISO 50001 Energy Management System Frederic Marimon 1,* ID and Martí Casadesús 2 ID 1 Department of Economics and Business Management, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, 08017 Barcelona, Spain 2 Department of Business Management and Product Design, Universitat de Girona, 17003 Girona, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-932-541-800 Received: 7 September 2017; Accepted: 25 September 2017; Published: 27 September 2017 Abstract: Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the relationships between the corporate motivations that lead organizations to establish the ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) standard, and the difficulties and benefits derived from its adoption. Design/methodology/approach: Three independent exploratory factor analyses (EFA) were conducted in order to identify (i) sources of motivation: social requirements, ecology drivers, and competitive advantage; (ii) the difficulties of an ISO 50001 adoption: operational difficulties and organizational difficulty; and (iii) types of benefits: ecological benefits and operational benefits. In a second step, an exploratory path analysis, performed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), was used to analyze the relations among motivation, difficulties, and benefits related to the adoption of the ISO 50001 standard. Findings: Social requirements explain operational difficulties, which in turn impacts on operational benefits. Ecology drivers are directly related to ecological benefits. Organizational difficulties have an inverse relationship with operational and ecological benefits. Operational difficulties are related to operational benefits and ecological benefits. Research limitations/implications: The questionnaire was disseminated to 87 Spanish companies with ISO 50001 certification. Managers and other practitioners such as consultants, auditing companies, and official organizations in charge of developing standards might find useful implications.

  • Octubre De 2008
    Octubre de 2008 1 Cómo volver mercancía hasta la última brizna de hierba Ingeniería genética extrema y la economía post-petrolera del azúcar Octubre de 2008 Debido a la crisis del petróleo, a la escalada en los precios de los combustibles y a la crisis del clima, las corporaciones redirigen su entusiasmo hacia una “revolución de la ingeniería biológica” que algunos auguran transformará dramáticamente la producción industrial de alimentos, energía, materias primas, medicina y la naturaleza entera. Los entusiastas de las tecnologías convergentes prometen una era post-petróleo más verde y limpia, donde la producción de compuestos importantes para la economía no dependerá de los combustibles fósiles, sino de la manufactura de plataformas biológicas alimentadas por azúcares vegetales. Tal vez suene dulce y limpio, pero la llamada “economía del azúcar” también catalizará la voracidad de las corporaciones por toda la materia vegetal — y con ello, la destrucción de la biodiversidad a una escala masiva. La bioeconomía del futuro dependerá de la “ingeniería genética extrema”, un conjunto de tecnologías que aún se encuentran en sus etapas iniciales de desarrollo: secuenciamiento genético barato y rápido; partes biológicas hechas a la orden, ingeniería y diseño de genomas; fabricación de materiales y sistemas operativos en la nanoescala. El denominador común es que todas estas tecnologías —biotecnología, nanotecnología, biología sintética— involucran el diseño de organismos en la nanoescala. Esta convergencia tecnológica promueve la convergencia del poder corporativo. Las nuevas tecnologías de bioingeniería atraen miles de millones de dólares de financiamiento de los gigantes de los químicos y los agronegocios, entre los que se incluyen DuPont, BP, Shell, Chevron, Cargill, entre otros.
