The concepts of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility command increasing public attention worldwide. The related issues are becoming ever more important on the board agenda, and sustainability is beginning 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 provides a full review of the specific challenges that sustainability can involve - from energy use to employment issues and from pollution to corporate governance. Contributors include: Simmons & Simmons, the Eden Project, The Fairtrade Foundation, Thames Water, the Environment Agency, RoSPA, Transport for London and Manpower UK. The perception of a business’s sustainability practices and policies can have a real impact on the bottom line: the rewards for responsibility, accountability and transparency can be high, whilst any failure to live to a commitment to sustainability can undermine prospects for future growth. The Sustainable Enterprise will help organisations negotiate the challenges involved, and it sheds light on what has become a critical area for all companies in the 21 st century.
