This book addresses the growing interest among policymakers,
practitioners and academics in the evolution and the future
implications of social, environmental and sustainability
accounting. To do so, it examines the conceptual and practical
application of accountability at multiple levels and contexts, and
presents a range of case studies focusing on salient issues,
perspectives and the potential of multidimensional accounting and
reporting regimes. Intended for a diverse audience, the book allows
readers to gain a better understanding of the topics, encourages
dialogue and debate, and stimulates innovation in scholarship,
policy and practice.
This edited book is at the intersection of the discussion on
family-owned business, the CSR agenda and company competition in
Europe. The authors contribute to the debates on corporate social
responsibility by arguing that formal management systems are not
the one-size-fits-all solution they are typically presented to be.
Exploring alternative interpretations of the profile environmental
management activities have in SMEs, the book evaluates the way in
which cultural and ethical values are embedded in European SMEs in
order to drive and orientate CSR successfully without following the
mainstream 'systems' approach. It addresses several values of
thought within the CSR debate such as intrinsic CSR, the role of
virtue ethics and moral theory in corporate culture, environmental
sustainability and vision-driven CSR. Focusing on a European
perspective, the book heuristically explores an alternative model
for the integration of CSR, innovation dynamics and economic
success driven by intrinsic values rather than extrinsic
post-decision rationalisations.

This book highlights the latest research on responsible business
and its practical implications for the economy, society, academia,
and politics. It presents selected contributions from respected
scholars and experts who have conducted international research on
corporate social responsibility, sustainability, ethics, corporate
governance, finance, and responsible investing. The book
examines the spreading and enhancement of CSR and sustainability at
the micro, meso, and macro levels, especially in light of their
increased relevance following the recent pandemic. Taken together,
the results of the empirically and theoretically based
contributions offer a unique and multi-faceted perspective on
current global trends and expected developments in this area. They
cover a wide range of contexts and situations, helping readers
expand their knowledge and drive effective change to tap their
organizations’ full potential.
Without respecting and nurturing ‘place’ we cannot achieve a
state of ecological sustainability. Place-based organizations are
not run on a purely materialistic basis. The non-materialistic
features of a place, its aesthetics, cultural heritage, community
feelings, transcendence, should be integrated into sustainability
management. This far-reaching two-volume work breaks with the
economic logic of efficiency and profit maximization, and suggests
that organizations should inform their sustainability by
encompassing feelings of identity with and attachment to place.
According to this vision, the editors have compiled scholarly
contributions aimed to support the ecological transformation of
humankind by exploring both theoretical and practical models that
integrate the sense of the place, ethics and spirituality in new
ways of organizing of economic and social life. This first volume
sets the theoretical direction of the volumes, asking broad
aesthetic questions around the ethical and spiritual foundations of
sustainability. It will be of interest to scholars, practitioners
and students of sustainability, business ethics and spirituality.
