This paper introduces the many elements of organizational environmentally conscious activities. It structures these activities in a systemic organizational decision support network hierarchy. An example evaluation of the various environmentally conscious business practices is provided in the paper. The hierarchy is composed of non-linear relationships that are evaluated for the purpose of managerial strategic decision making. The analytical network process is used as the technique for this evaluation.
