Bücher der Reihe Organizations and the Natural Environment

This insightful book uses a series of high-profile company case studies to focus on two major challenges for sustainable innovation: fuel and food. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in the fields of sustainable business, strategic management, business ethics and environmental economics.

Businesses promote their environmental credentials through green buildings, eco-labels, clean technologies and pledges. When are these symbols empty corporate spin, and when do they signal authentic environmental improvements? This thoughtful book provides researchers, regulators and managers with the first systematic analysis of the drivers and consequences of symbolic corporate environmentalism.
