Abstract

The paper presents a review of various organisation theories used in relation to climate change and businesses within the scope of the research on the green transition of the Hungarian iron and steel industry. The steel industry is a vital sector within the global economy; however, the industry is accountable for over 7% greenhouse gas emissions globally. With net zero pledges a detailed analysis of the sector from an organisational theory lens can play a crucial role in the green transformation by providing frameworks and strategies for existing or new organisations. The study provides a general overview about organisation theory and theories used in relation to climate change and green transition of industries via literature review involving a thorough search and critical evaluation of existing research. The combination of organisational environment and stakeholder theory have been identified as a theoretical basis for developing a potential methodology to support strategic, responsible and sustainable decisions for the decarbonization of the sector. To identify the suitable performance metrics of the analysis will be part of further research.
