ABSTRACT: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a process used by businesses towards sustainable development, which helps ensure that natural resources are used efficiently, while minimising environmental and social damage.1 With a strong focus on green technology, or the use of zeronon-renewable resources to produce goods and services, businesses become committed to producing an output that has a higher sustainability factor and an overall lower carbon footprint. Environmental consideration in business practices itself is not a new concept, but has been gaining importance in recent years due to the global climate crisis. Not only has this resulted in more environmentally conscious consumers, but also in companies redesigning their products and manufacturing processes to make them greener and more sustainable.2 Not doing so would have several implications for companies, from losing business due to lack of sustainable business practices, to being unable to obtain licences and permits and find themselves in conflict with neighbourhood residents and environmental groups. Early consideration of environmental issues in the production and development processes will enable firms to mitigate adverse effects, protect their reputation, and promote sustainable growth in the long term. Taking these factors into consideration, this paper will explore the use of green technology and sustainability solutions in EIAs in business, and will outline ethical considerations and implications for the future of EIA.
