İşletmelerin çevre politikası oluşturma sürecinde paydaşlarının görüş ve fikirleri önem taşımaktadır. Yaşanan gelişmelere bağlı olarak çevreci sivil toplum örgütleri işletmelerin önemli paydaşlarından biri haline gelmiş ve çevre uygulamaları ve çevre politikası üzerinde söz hakkına sahip olmaya başlamıştır. Bu örgütler ve konaklama işletmeleri arasındaki ilişki ve etkileşimin işletmelerin çevre politikası üzerindeki etkisinin ortaya konulması, çevre politikasını yeni oluşturacak işletmelere yön göstermek açısından önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmada çevreci sivil toplum örgütlerin zincir otel işletmelerin çevre politikalarına etkileri araştırılmıştır. Veriler anket tekniği ile Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren 156 zincir otel işletmesinin orta ve üst düzey yöneticilerinden yüz yüze görüşülerek toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi için ordinal (sıralı) lojistik regresyon (OLOGREG) kullanılmış ve bu amaçla 4 adet model kurgulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda zincir otel işletmelerinin çevreci sivil toplum örgütleriyle kurdukları ilişki ve etkileşimin çevre politikası üzerinde rol oynadığı belirlenmiştir.
