Spanning strategy, communication, changing regulation and governance, the book grapples with critical issues such as anti-corruption, labour rights and climate change, balancing incisive critique with suggestions for meaningful change.

'Corporate Sustainability comprehensively explains the new roles and responsibilities of business with breadth and depth, and from a diverse set of perspectives. Rich in substance and enlivened by numerous real-world examples, this book is must reading to understand the place of business in moving us towards a sustainable future.' Dan Esty, Professor, Yale University, and author, Green to Gold, and editor, A Better Planet
'This new textbook from four of Europe's – indeed, the world's – leading experts on corporate responsibility is a true advance over previous texts in both form and content. Readers will find here a carefully curated, original collection of writings elaborating both conceptual disputes and practical tools - in many cases, directly from the minds of the thinkers responsible for their creation. The editors then take the vital additional step of weaving these ideas together to create a coherent view of the current thinking about sustainability and corporate responsibility.' Robert Phillips, Professor, Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto, CA
'Corporate Sustainability offers a robust and insightful basis for thinking and acting about responsibility and sustainability in business settings. The textbook is grounded in cutting-edge research and puts forward the question we all – and especially the next generation of leaders – need to address. A must-read for business students and faculty!' Johanna Mair, Professor, Hertie School, Berlin
'I was delighted to find the chapters written in a very accessible language and to 'begin at the beginning', to both cover the essentials and show the most advanced developments … The comparatively short and dense chapters enable students to focus on content that is most worth knowing.' Oliver Laasch, Academy of Management Learning & Education
