Sustainability in Global Companies

Theory and Practice. Edited by Samuel O. Idowu and Stephen Vertigans.

This textbook focuses on how sustainability is practiced in companies in different sectors of the global economy - examples include aviation, banking, energy, financial services, food, manufacturing, technology, transportation, and tourism. These corporate sectors are at the forefront of the debate around business and sustainability both in their usage of finite resources and their potential to deliver meaningful solutions. Consequently, several experts were brought together for this book and asked to focus on how sustainability is understood and practiced in different companies around the globe in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Chapters incorporate theoretical and applied examples that can help improve levels of insight into international business approaches. They provide opportunities to learn and disseminate factors that are delivering short, medium, and long-term solutions and problems. These insights can incorporate the spectrum of activities required inorder to achieve sustainability through industrial processes, supply chains to consumer behavior.
