About this book

This book is a truly interdisciplinary publication, useful to scholars, social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies and private companies, undertaking research and/or executing projects focusing on social responsibility and sustainability from across the world.
Sustainable development has become a matter of central concern to both public institutions and enterprises.  Indeed, for many companies, a due emphasis to environmental issues is not only positive from the point of view of environmental gains, but also to the image of the business. Often, but not always, this is reflected in the preparation of  formal strategies and programmes, which entail their institutional strategies and visions.
 The wide area of social responsibility, often known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), entails elements of social equality and environmental accountability,  and eco-efficiency.
 
Due to their complexity, the interrelations between  social responsibility and sustainable development need to be better understood. There is also a real need to showcase successful examples of how public institutions and companies are handling their sustainability challenges.
 
It is against this background that this book has been produced.
