Hijacking Environmentalism: Corporate Responses to Sustainable Development

This stimulating book questions the commitment and contribution of business to genuine long-term solutions - while acknowledging that the tenets of sustainability offer no simple solutions. It explores a range of strategies which may be used by businesses wishing to take the 'next step'.
Voluntary approaches to environmental regulation are assessed, and persistent tensions between international trade and the environment are examined. Models of sustainable enterprises, which encourage social responsibility and staff participation, are also included.
