Business and Environmental Sustainability looks at the environmental aspect of sustainability for all organisations pursuing competitive advantage. The book provides theoretical foundations from science, economics, policy and strategy, introduces three environmental challenges (climate change, pollution and waste), and looks at how corporate functions can address these. This textbook provides a thorough foundation by introducing readers to the science, reasoning and theory behind environmental sustainability, and then delves into how these ideas translate into principles and business models for organisations to actually use. Next, it covers environmental challenges from climate change, pollution and waste, and then goes on to examine the different corporate functions (from supply chain management to human resources) to illustrate how environmental sustainability is managed and put into practice in organisations. Finally, a set of integrative case studies draw everything together and enable the reader to apply various analytical tools, with the aim of understanding how companies can not only reduce their environmental footprint but can positively contribute to environmental sustainability. Written by an award-winning lecturer, Business and Environmental Sustainability boasts a wealth of pedagogical features, including examples from a range of industries and countries, plus a companion website with slides, quiz questions and instructor material. This will be a valuable text for students of business and environmental sustainability and will also be suitable for broader courses on corporate responsibility and sustainability across environmental studies, political science and engineering"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sustainable development. 650 0 $a Business logistics. 650 0 $a Economic development $x Environmental aspects. 650 7 $a Business logistics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842759 650 7 $a Economic development $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901808 650 7 $a Sustainable development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01139731 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wagner, Sigrun M., 1978- $t Business and environmental sustainability $d New York : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781315208275 $w (DLC) 2020012343 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=11DA183671B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
