The pressure for a new pattern of sustainable development began to require of modern organizations the conciliation between competitiveness and a environmental protection.

This improvement, in turn, can generate to the organizations many benefits , among which, obtaining competitive advantages, susceptible of measurement from different perspectives. One of these is the application of VRIO model, reasoned by the Resource-Based View (RBV), which considers that differences between companies occurs due to differences between its internal resources and capabilities. However, although was been found some studies in the literature that evaluate the competitive potential of certain organizations , such assessments are not performed on specific objects, like the SEM s. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the resources and capabilities (environmental strategies) adopted by the SGA of the Verdegreen Hotel, identifying which of these have the potential to generate competitive advantage.

Revisiones de desempeño ambiental en la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE)

La Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE); y la Comisión Económica para Europa de las Naciones Unidas (CEPE); realizan en sus países miembros revisiones entre pares para las condiciones ambientales y el esfuerzo efectuado para alcanzar los objetivos ambientales nacionales y cumplir sus compromisos internacionales. Estas revisiones permiten, entre otras cosas, evaluar el trabajo realizado por el país para reducir sus niveles de emisión de contaminantes y residuos y gestionar sosteniblemente sus recursos naturales; para integrar las políticas ambientales y socioeconómicas; para fortalecer la cooperación con la comunidad internacional y armonizar las condiciones y políticas ambientales en los países miembros, y para contribuir al desarrollo sostenible. En este documento se explica en detalle esta alternativa metodológica de evaluación a partir de los resultados del taller preparado como preámbulo a la revisión del desempeño ambiental de Chile que realizará la CEPAL y la OCDE. Después de los discursos inaugurales, se analizan las razones que motivaron la realización de estas revisiones en la OCDE y en la CEPE y su utilidad y beneficios. El apartado tercero se centra en la metodología seguida para las revisiones de desempeño ambiental, discutiendo los aspectos temáticos y organizativos (procedimiento, plazos temporales, participantes, papel de los distintos actores, relación entre OCDE y los países revisados, presupuesto, sistema de análisis, requerimientos de información, forma de evaluación y documento final);. En el cuarto capítulo se recogen las experiencias y lecciones aprendidas (positivas y negativas);, tópicos de especial interés, y las recomendaciones que han emanado de las revisiones de desempeño ambiental ya realizadas. El último apartado se centra en las posibilidades que se abren para realizar revisiones ambientales entre pares en América Latina y el Caribe.
