Environment and Health : Protecting our Common Future

Environmental degradation and illness and disease prevent millions of people
in many countries from surviving and achieving their potential. This book
serves as a comprehensive guide to key environmental and health issues
confronting the planet, enumerates approaches and techniques to address
these issues, and provides real-world examples of good corporate citizenship.

Although there are a growing number of books on corporate social
responsibility (and related concepts, such as business ethics, stakeholder
theory and sustainable development), there is no volume comparable to this
one. Specifically the book addresses a range of issues that will be
invaluable to many specialists such as: organization leaders who want to
improve the environment and health of their colleagues at home and globally,
practitioners in corporate social responsibility, managers involved in
environmental, health and safety issues and finally business students who wish to contribute to the well-being of their colleagues and the health of the planet and humanity.
