Series: Routledge Contemporary Corporate Governance

In recent years, as corporations and governments have increasingly been confronted with managing the expectations of a society newly alerted to the social and environmental risks of economic development, recognition is dawning that achieving a sustainable world is dependent upon the democratic management and equitable distribution of these risks for now, and for the future. This book, the first to explore the themes of corporate governance and sustainability, argues that a better system of governance on a number of levels holds the key.

Contributed to and edited by a distinguished international team, this book recognizes the complex and contested nature of both sustainability and governance, and that these key concepts have been redefined considerably over time.

As sustainability poses new and major challenges for the theory and practice of corporate governance, this book, ideal for postgraduate students of business and management, identifies and addresses these challenges.

Reviews for Corporate Governance and Sustainability: Challenges for Theory and Practice

'Engaging the private sector in the achievement of sustainability is crucial. For businesses, and other institutions, an important part of this engagement should be based on sound governance. This excellent book demonstrates that good governance is central to operating in a society with increased environmental and social risks. Leading contributors show that we have a lot to learn from bringing together different perspectives and approaches in achieving a sustainable future.'- Richard Welford, University of Hong Kong 'Engaging the private sector in the achievement of sustainability is crucial.
