4. In this paper, some viewpoints are illustrated by Canadian and American companies. None of them should be considered as a model for the institutionalization of environmental concerns into the business communities. The list of "illustrations" is not exhaustive. Many others could have been added. In citing them, we become more aware of the various ways environmental concerns have impregnated the corporate milieu.
