Description

In the twenty-first century, sustainability has come to the forefront of the debate regarding the responsibilities of corporations and the roles they play in society. Society holds them accountable, so businesses need to develop and execute sustainability strategies that consider the social, economic, cultural, and natural dimensions of the business environment. Young, Dhanda, and Hollenhorst combine experience in business and environmental studies to provide students with a uniquely interdisciplinary approach to the subject. When sustainability is fully realized and implemented well by corporations, it can help develop and retain creative, dedicated employees who will drive a bottom-line strategy to save costs and a top-line strategy to reach a new consumer base.
