2. Background literature
Most environmental decisions share the same characteristics but they may need different analytical approaches,
given the differentiated environmental decision contexts (French and Geldermann, 2005). The literature provides a
wide range of different frameworks regarding DM towards sustainability, with environmental concerns [for further
details please see French and Geldermann (2005), Azapagic and Perdan (2005), Luyet et al. (2012), Merad et al.
(2012)]. We will limit this short review to three of the most important topics under analysis in this paper – corporate
strategy, problem structuring and analysis of the stakeholders – and, due to the lack of space, we will just mention
the most influential studies in our framework.
