Hi all,

I am looking for research into the issue of green teams or environmental champions.

By green teams / environmental champions I am referring to specific groups of employees, regardless of discipline or organizational level, who devote additional time and effort (beyond their normal job role) to facilitate the practical implementation and promotion of sustainable operations principles in their organisation, i.e. companies or public sector organisations, but NOT community based green teams. I am NOT interested in research on champions at senior management level who may act as a figure-head to help drive through environmental initiatives within an organisation.

If you know of any research on this issue I would be interested in hearing about it.

I am already aware of the following research / reports:

Green Teams and Value: Engaging Employees in Meeting Sustainability Goals [AltaTerra Research, 2010].

Generating sustainable value: Moving beyond green teams to transformation collaboratives. [Ackerman et al, Dominican University of California. Sabre Holdings, 2010].

GREEN TEAMS - Engaging Employees in Sustainability [Deborah Fleischer, Green Impact, 2009].

Corporate Green Teams: A New Social Trend at Work? A Conference Report and Research Summary [Hohl and Bray, AltaTerra Research, 2008].

Individual Environmental Initiatives: Championing Natural Environmental Issues in U.S. Business Organizations [Andersson and Bateman, 2000]

Thanks,

Brian
