Accounting for Sustainability - Practical Insights (Hardcover)

If businesses and other organizations are to meet the many and complex challenges of sustainable development, then they all, both public and private, need to embed sustainability considerations into their decision-making and reporting. However, the translation of this aspiration into effective action is often inhibited by the lack of systems and procedures that take sustainability into account. Accounting for Sustainability: Practical Insights will help organizations to address these issues. The book sets out a number of tools and approaches that have been developed and applied by leading organizations to: Embed sustainability into decision-making, extending beyond an organization's boundaries to take into account suppliers, customers and other stakeholders Measure and link sustainability and financial performance Integrate sustainability into 'mainstream' reporting, both to management and external stakeholders In-depth cases studies from Aviva, BT, the Environment Agency, EDF Energy, HSBC, Novo Nordisk, Sainsbury's and West Sussex County Council show in detail how accounting for sustainability works in practice in a wide range of organizational contexts.
