Abstract

Organizations are increasingly turning to sustainable practices. A significant challenge in the endeavour to embrace sustainability relates to the trade-off between corporate greening and corporate growth – i.e., the difficult task of achieving growth while being truly sustainable. Through an in-depth study of Brunello Cucinelli, one of the world’s leading companies in the luxury fashion industry, we introduce the management philosophy of “gracious growth” to help organizations manage the green-growth trade-off and pursue substantial rather than symbolic sustainability. We offer actionable recommendations and present a process framework that organizations can adopt to implement “gracious growth”. Generating new insights about how growth and sustainability can be simultaneously achieved, this article provides ideas that can help managers enhance their organizations’ economic and environmental performance while also avoiding the legitimacy risks associated with greenwashing.

亲切的增长

组织越来越多地转向可持续实践。在努力拥抱可持续发展的过程中，一个重大的挑战涉及企业绿化和企业增长之间的权衡-即在实现真正可持续发展的同时实现增长的艰巨任务。通过对全球奢侈品时尚行业的领军企业之一Brunello Cucinelli的深入研究，我们引入了“优雅增长”的管理理念，以帮助组织管理绿色增长的权衡，追求实质而非象征性的可持续性。我们提供了可行的建议，并提出了一个流程框架，组织可以采用它来实现“优雅的增长”。本文对如何同时实现增长和可持续性提出了新的见解，提供了一些想法，可以帮助管理者提高组织的经济和环境绩效，同时避免与“漂绿”相关的合法性风险。
