Biography

Sigrun M. Wagner is Senior Lecturer in International Business and Sustainability at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK, and Head of the Department for Strategy, International Business and Entrepreneurship in the School of Business and Management.

"Dr. Sigrun Wagner's Business and Environmental Sustainability is a great foundational text to emphasize the importance of environmental sustainability in business studies. The text introduces science, economics, policy, and strategy to help readers understand environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the text presents the integration of environmental sustainability across the functions of a business with a focus on three grand challenges: climate change, pollution, and waste. Importantly, this is one of the first sustainable business texts to introduce strong sustainability which is critical to long-term flourishing for all of us. Dr. Wagner's　text will provide a firm grounding in environmental sustainability to guide tomorrow’s business leaders." - Nancy E. Landrum, Ph.D., Professor of Sustainability Management, Loyola University Chicago
