General Electric: Ecomagination as a CSR Initiative
Marlene M. Reed and Mitchell J. Neubert
Baylor University, USA
Volume 8: 2011, pp. 245-254: ABSTRACT
General Electric (G.E.) has a rich history of being in the center of public discourse regarding the intersection of corporate strategy and environmental concerns. During Jeffrey Immelt’s tenure as Chief Executive Officer, G.E. has taken a proactive approach to coupling corporate social responsibility with organizational profitability in its Ecomagination initiatives. Critics abound with some investor groups questioning the utility of Immelt’s approach for shareholder returns while other stakeholder groups question G.E.’s motives and methods. This case study reviews G.E.’s past CSR efforts and the more recent Ecomagination program and its efficacy and sustainability. The case was developed from public sources.
