Reihe: Routledge Research in Sustainability and Business

This book examines corporate sustainability, the role of managers in innovative business models and the need for management accounting information. It explores how sustainability, should, could and is likely to be implemented and integrated in the corporate world.

Drawing upon empirical research, the authors look at recent approaches used in normative business models and the circular economy, as well as the wider social dimension of sustainability. More specifically, the book explores supply chain sustainability in the food, healthcare and leisure sectors; the role of leaders in the design and adoption of new sustainable business models and control systems; and the ecological problems around agriculture and food production and the role of product labels, certificates and quality control systems and their functions in new, sustainable business models. Overall, this book captures the emerging new business models and capabilities firms need to implement sustainability.

This book will be of great relevance to students, scholars and professionals with an interest in corporate sustainability, social responsibility, environmental management and eco-innovation.
