Sumario:This master thesis focuses on understanding the construction of an environmental discourse and its driving forces. It makes use of Social Constructionism theory, Symbolic Interactionism and Foucault’s perspective on discourse and power to understand the dynamic of a corporation’s environmental discourse and society.
