| Summary: | 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. The
analysis of the empirical data has shown that society plays an important role on the
construction of business’s environmental discourses, which make both society and
companies responsible for improving business practices regarding the environment.
