This edited volume brings together a remarkable array of distinguished corporate, investor, government, academic, and nonprofit perspectives to consider how the targeted pursuit of business profits can better add up to the world's profit, broadly defined.
Chapter authors tackle such questions as how businesses can work more effectively with governments, financial institutions, and civil society to mitigate their own enterprise risk alongside risks to people and planet; how private resources, innovation, and networks can be mobilized to create value in solving major social and environmental challenges; and what types of accountability structures are needed to set boundaries, provide oversight, and create positive incentives for business performance. Their perspectives offer insights into how sustainability can be introduced into business practices, finance, and policymaking in a way that expands market opportunities and accelerates progress towards global sustainable development.
