Although corporate sustainability theory is well established, there is limited research on the use and understanding of the ecosystem service (ES) approaches based on an advanced conceptualization of the environment in organizational practice. This article analyzes the use of ES approaches in organizations using a system theory lens, conducting empirical research on the contribution of ES approaches to corporate environmental management. Drawing from 30 semistructured interviews with ES practitioners from private, policy, and third sector organizations, we find that ES approaches provide practitioners with an advanced understanding of the environment as a system, the interconnections between the organization and the environment, and a better awareness of temporal and physical attributes of the environment. Overemphasis on ecological systems, limited acknowledgment of the nesting of the social system within the ecological system, and limited detailed practitioner knowledge are barriers for advancing the use of the ES approaches in corporate sustainability practice.

生态系统服务方法的组织使用：系统理论视角的批判

尽管企业可持续发展理论已经确立，但基于组织实践中环境的高级概念化的生态系统服务（ES）方法的使用和理解的研究有限。本文从系统理论的角度分析了 ES 方法在组织中的使用，对 ES 方法对企业环境管理的贡献进行了实证研究。通过对来自私营、政策和第三部门组织的 ES 从业者的 30 次半结构化访谈，我们发现 ES 方法为从业者提供了对环境作为一个系统、组织与环境之间的相互联系以及更好的认识环境的时间属性和物理属性。过分强调生态系统，
