Environmental and organizational sociologists have engaged with the growing interdisciplinary study
of formal organizations and their natural environment to varying extents, but to date there has
been little interaction between the two sociological sub disciplines. Environmental sociology has
developed strong understandings of human–environment interactions, how to study them, and
political economic systems of environmental destruction and improvement. Meanwhile, organizational
sociology provides insights on internal and external drivers of governmental agency, business,
and social movement organizational decision making. In an effort to strengthen our sociological
understandings of organizational and inter organizational processes that contribute to environmental
harm and improvement, this article identifies five synthetic propositions that emerge from these
bodies of knowledge: (a) no organization is an island—socially or ecologically, (b) environmental claims
require environmental evidence, (c) corporate environmental actions vary and are context dependent,
(d) organizational cooperation and cooptation are two sides of the same coin, and (e) cumulative
environmental impacts of organizational change are constrained by system tendencies.
