Abstract
The main objectives of this study were to examine firstly, how the management of practices and capabilities of environmental sustainability are developed, maintained and managed in SME‘environmental sustainability leaders’, with the view to develop a conceptual framework for environmental sustainability (ES) change management in Australian SMEs. These ‘star’ SMEs or‘sustainability leaders’ have distinguished themselves as recognised leaders in implementing environmental sustainability initiatives. Secondly, this study examined what learning in particular is involved in developing environmental change practices and capabilities; thirdly,how this learning
might be fostered by other leaders and professional accountants in SMEs.
