Corporate governance & responsibilities; Law; Gender & the law; Laws of Specific jurisdictions; Company, commercial & competition law

This compelling volume considers three significant modern developments: the ever-changing role of women in society; a significant and growing dissatisfaction with current dominant understandings of corporate governance, corporate law and corporate theory; and the increasing concern to establish sustainable business models globally. A range of female scholars from across the globe and from different disciplines interconnect these ideas in this unique collection of new and thought-provoking essays. Readers are led through a carefully planned enquiry focussing initially on female activism and the corporation, secondly on liberal attempts to include women in business leadership and, finally, on critiquing the modern focus on women as a 'fix' for ethical and unsustainable business practises which currently dominates the corporate world.

This collection presents a fresh perspective on what changes are needed to create the sustainable corporation and the potential role of women as influencers or as agents for these changes.

Reviews for Creating Corporate Sustainability: Gender as an Agent for Change

'Most importantly, we need to understand the forces that keep business on the unsustainable track it is on now. This volume offers important insights into these issues, to the (mainly insufficient) initiatives to realize the potential of women as agents for creating corporate sustainability, and crucial reflections on possible ways forward. As such, the volume is an invaluable contribution to the discussion we must have now: how to achieve the fundamental transition to a sustainable, circular, and just economy. We cannot afford not to have girls and women as partners in sustainable development, resource efficiency and circular economy - in painting the way for the future of our planet.' Sirpa Pietikainen, Director of GLOBE EU, Member of the European Parliament 'Exceptionally well organized and presented, Creating Corporate Sustainability: Gender as an Agent for Change presents fresh perspectives and invaluable insights on what changes are needed to create the sustainable corporation and the potential role of women as agents for these changes.'
