Global climate change poses enormous environmental challenges, and societies across the world have to adapt and innovate to further the goals of sustainability for present and future generations. The private sector especially must find new ways of doing business to align their practices with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the international community. This handbook provides a comprehensive and holistic coverage of sustainability, bridging the gap between academic theory and business practices. Using a conceptually structured framework throughout, the book examines the latest academic research to summarize what environmental, social and economic sustainability actually means in different contexts.
