Consumer demand for sustainable business practices has never been greater. Arguing that today’s corporations must develop environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) performance metrics, Sustainability Management 1e uses a systems approach to illustrate the interdependencies among ecosystems, societies, organizations, and individuals. Authors Ana Cristina Siqueira, Cristina Neesham, Nancy E. Landrum, and Patricia Kanashiro use a four-step strategic management framework (analysis, formulation, implementation, and evaluation) to organize the text, guiding students through each component of sustainability management. This timely new text examines some of today’s most pressing issues including social justice, racial equity, human rights, and climate crisis. Case Studies tied to UN Sustainable Development Goals spotlight innovative sustainable strategies from companies around the world.
