Developed out of interviews with key experts, this book illustrates how companies can benefit by managing carbon and wider sustainability concerns strategically. Each chapter is written by international experts and falls into the wider headings of sustainability perspectives and strategies; corporate governance and international business leadership; investment opportunities and corporate strategy; implementation strategies; financial strategies – valuing carbon and climate change; communications strategies – engaging consumers and employees; sector perspectives and strategies; strategies on climate change – cities and business. Each chapter is strengthened with examples from companies such as BT, Sun Microsystems, Siemens, and Arup.
