Biography

Edited by Benn, Suzanne; Dunphy, Dexter

'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
