• W599763722 abstract "Two decades ago, in the late 1970s, environmental concerns were only beginning to surface in the world's boardrooms. Today, environmental stewardship is part of every board member's vocabulary. So what issues will be on the corporate board agenda twenty years from now? How fully will environmental and questions be integrated into the fabric of an enterprise? That depends on those entering the corporate world now: by the time today's business students have gained senior positions, concepts such as eco-efficiency and the social licence to operate should be common currency. Therefore, environmental concerns will be high on the list of recruitment and career development requirements of 21st-century corporations. So how well prepared are today's business students? Sustainable Business began with a collaboration between the WBCSD and the international student organization AISEC to discover precisely that. Environmental staff from the WBCSD's member companies, business professors and members of environmental NGOs were asked to help compile a document of what every student should know. A version was posted on the Internet along with a certificated exam, Sustainable Business Exam, and was greeted with much enthusiasm from around the world. This success prompted great demand for an accompanying book. Based on the original Internet background document, Sustainable Business is now available. Sustainable Business is the most comprehensive and up-to-date primer available on issues of corporate sustainability and of environmental issues that affect business. All the key topics are addressed thoroughly and succinctly: What does sustainable development mean and what are its implications? What are the important issues for business regarding climate, water, fisheries, agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, energy, transport and waste? What are the key topics on today's board agenda? What do businesses need to know about emerging themes such as product stewardship, sustainable consumption, global trade, and risk and uncertainty? What are the tools for managing the sustainable corporation? What about concepts for the next century, such as eco-efficiency, by-product synergy, the triple bottom-line? In order to put these issues - and many more - in context, they are all viewed from the perspective of the fictional SDX Corporation (a US multinational manufacturing corporation) as they get to grips with the policy implications of environmental issues throughout 1999. We eavesdrop on an imagined dialogue as a large corporation questions its future, via board papers, internal memoranda, letters and press clippings. This takes The Sustainable Business Challenge above the realm of an environmental management textbook, presenting instead the story of a corporation's search for sustainability. A final chapter takes us to 2020 and imagines what will be on the board's agenda by then. Sustainable Business is unique in the breadth of its scope, yet doesn't over-simplify the issues. It is thoroughly revised and up to date (it includes discussion on the implications of the Kyoto negotiations), and includes contributions from John Elkington (SustainAbility), Rick Bunch (World Resources Institute) and numerous others. Anyone - business students, managers, heads of SMEs - looking for a single resource that presents all the key environmental issues as they affect business, now and into the next century, need look no further than Sustainable Business Challenge." @default.
