This book focuses on corporate sustainability and how it evolves
through innovation and new business models. Despite what has been
accomplished to date, there is an urgent need for further steps to
be taken and this book presents a nuanced but compelling plea for
collaboration between businesses, government and civil society.
Drawing upon empirical research, the authors look at recent
approaches to corporate sustainability, the circular economy and
strategic corporate social responsibility. The book examines these
issues from multiple viewpoints, including cultural, social and
religious. More specifically, the book explores the freight sector
(smart freight leadership), the banking sector (sustainable
banking) and Islamic finance and sustainability, detailing the
contribution of faith-based organizations to promoting
sustainability and the greening of church buildings. 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.

Sustainability sheds a whole new light on economic value creation.
Sustainable value creation means looking critically at both
revenues and costs. Not everything that makes money is of value.
Not everything for which no bill is sent is 'free'. This book
explains how this is the case and what it means to incorporate
sustainability into a company’s strategy and manage activities
based on sustainable principles. At the same time, it keeps an eye
on the broader societal context in which companies operate, such
climate change policies, the SDGs and ESG finance. Since the launch
of the concept of sustainable development, many policies at various
institutional levels have focused on reducing environmental damage
and social ills. This book reflects this broader context. However,
despite many serious efforts, it cannot be denied that these
policies do not stand up against continued economic growth and a
growing global population. This is why this book also stresses that
more radical approaches are needed for a successful transformation
towards a sustainable society. Businesses should not be content to
wait and see what lies ahead. They need to proactively take
ownership of the change process that is needed. The book has eight
chapters that discuss the various aspects of sustainable value
creation from different points of view, including sustainable
management and chain management as well as sustainable accounting
and reporting. It gives a concise but well-underpinned picture of
what sustainable business means today.
This book is about the intriguing subject of measuring the New
Economy, which in brief means ICT and its impact on society. It
brings to the surface various old and new statistical issues which
call for a solution, not in the least because politicians in the EU
wish to be reliably enlightened on how the EU is performing
vis-??-vis countries such as the US and Japan. Moreover,
globalisation increases its priority as the burgeoning economic
force of countries like China and India intensify international
competition.
*Examines ICT and its impact on society
*Suggests benchmarks and key indicators for the new economy
*Authors contributed to the NESIS project and are experts on the
subject
