I think businesses claim to be environmentalists when it suits them to attract customers. Banks allow people to receive statements electronically via online banking instead of posting them, as it saves them money, but I believe a lot of companies ignore the environment if it will cost them money rather than save them money. For example, I don't hear about companies subsidizing bus fares for their staff or paying to provide decent facilities to safely lock up bikes, with the exception of a few companies, like IKEA. It's not an essay length answer and its a bit cynical, but I believe that greed is the sole motivator for most companies.
