Description
This title seeks to examine how wealth creation can be made compatible with preserving the environment and achieving sustainable economic development. The question of business motivation is seen as the central issue. The authors analyze what needs to be done for businesses to increase profitability and reduce environmental impact and how most effectively to influence management to achieve it. They look at the mix of public and private initiatives from regulation through partnership and from voluntary schemes to market forces.
