4. Internalization: The environmental knowledge is internalized into CSC com-
pany ethos and social responsibility.
The CSC is one of the obvious organizational learning example which can develop
“The Five Learning Cycle of Competent Organization” [45] because it has improved
their environmental performance and has benefi ted greatly from EKM and the fi ve
learning circle such as in fi nancial savings, value-added product design, energy sav-
ings and green competitiveness. It has improved its EKM through the EKCP: The cre-
ation, accumulation, sharing, utilization, and internalization of environmental knowl-
edge. The sharing of information is the foundation for creating and implementing a
method of improving and developing new technology and designing environmentally
friendly products. New technology creation also enables CSC to play a leading role in
green product and steel making technology development. With continuous improve-
ment of the EKCP, energy effi ciency can often be achieved through integrated strategy
planning. Installing water saving technology, introducing treatment techniques and
using recirculating systems can lead to the reduction of water consumption. Moreover,
the elimination of air emissions, water pollution and waste ensure the conservation
of a better environment for future generations. Hence, CSC consistently enhances its
international competitiveness and protects the quality of the environment which also
helps the company to create a win-win situation corporate and environmental sustain-
able development.
