Résumé

The concepts of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility are commanding increasing public attention worldwide, and the huge impact that business can have in today's world is also recognized. These issues are becoming ever more important on the board agenda and sustainability is starting to permeate every business decision.

The Sustainable Enterprise looks at all aspects of this vital topic. Drawing on the expertise of leading professionals, practitioners and regulatory authorities, it reviews the specific challenges that sustainability can involve from energy use to employment rights, and from air pollution to corporate governance. It aims to assist those running or advising organizations of all types and sizes in understanding the business case for sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. It tackles the subject from many different perspectives, and offers advice and guidance on preparing and implementing programmes and policies.

The perception of a business's sustainability can have a real impact on the bottom line. The rewards for responsibility, accountability and transparency can be high, whilst any failure to live up to a commitment to sustainability can undermine prospects for future growth. The Sustainable Enterprise will help organizations negotiate the challenges involved, and sheds light on an area that has become a critical consideration for business in the 21st century.
