Shaun McCarthy OBE, former Chair of the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 Olympic Games, and Director, Action Sustainability

'This book addresses an important gap in the discourse about corporate responsibility and sustainable development. It offers a strategic examination of these issues located within a complex enabling environment and sets out the importance of numerous perspectives, including a capitals approach, that shape decisions in development, governance, social change and technological innovation.' Mark Gough, CEO Capitals Coalition

'This book is not another book on the definition of sustainable development and how to develop a CSR strategy in a country or a company. It explains very clearly the link that can be established between sustainable development and other concepts that are fundamental to the development of a CSR strategy. Each chapter gives very concrete examples and figures. It all ends with relevant case studies that apply what has been seen in the chapter. So, take the time to discover this book to help you better understand the social and environmental issues and allow you to understand at a strategic level all the elements to be taken into account.' Charlotte Fontan Sers, Professor of Economics and Head of the Master Global Sustainable Strategies, ESC PAU Business School, France

'This text is very welcome and important because it takes an integrative approach to CSR and Sustainable Development. Rather than seeing these key challenges as stand-alone, it provides a well- researched approach to understanding their complexities and the multifaceted nature of strategies, policies and practices needed to address them. The practical examples and cases underpin the ideas and concepts in an accessible way that enhances teaching and learning for students, academics and professionals alike.' Carole Parkes, Emeritus Professor of Responsible Management and Leadership, University of Winchester, UK

'This text is a very welcome addition to the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainable Development literature. It offers a refreshing perspective of how to better understand Corporate Responsibility and Social Development through societal valuation of what is important and how this in turn affects social purpose. The book is suitable as a main text for sustainability related topics, and as a complementary text to texts focused on business operations. Its thought-provoking content, based on extensive research, alongside rich use of contemporary case studies, provides appeal to students, academics and professionals.' Karen Cripps, University of Winchester Business School, UK; in an excerpt from a book review in Journal of General Management, 2021
