商品描述
This textbook focuses on how sustainability is practiced in companies in different sectors of the global economy - examples include aviation, banking, energy, financial services, food, manufacturing, technology, transportation, and tourism. These corporate sectors are at the forefront of the debate around business and sustainability both in their usage of finite resources and their potential to deliver meaningful solutions. Consequently, several experts were brought together for this book and asked to focus on how sustainability is understood and practiced in different companies around the globe in terms of the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030. Chapters incorporate theoretical and applied examples that can help improve levels of insight into international business approaches. They provide opportunities to learn and disseminate factors that are delivering short, medium, and long-term solutions and problems. These insights can incorporate the spectrum of activities required inorder to achieve sustainability through industrial processes, supply chains to consumer behavior.
The multi-disciplinary nature of the fundamental issues also prompted a diverse selection of academics and practitioners across disciplines who have knowledge and/or experiences of sustainability and international business theories, practices, and processes. Students and academics from across related disciplines, corporations, policymakers, and members of societies who study or have an interest in sustainable development will particularly find this book useful.

本教科書專注於可持續性在全球經濟不同領域的公司中的實踐，範例包括航空、銀行、能源、金融服務、食品、製造、科技、運輸和旅遊等行業。這些企業部門在商業與可持續性之間的辯論中處於前沿，無論是在有限資源的使用上，還是在提供有意義解決方案的潛力上。因此，本書邀請了多位專家，聚焦於全球不同公司如何理解和實踐可持續性，並與聯合國2030可持續發展目標相結合。各章節結合了理論和應用範例，幫助提升對國際商業方法的洞察力。它們提供了學習和傳播短期、中期和長期解決方案及問題的機會。這些洞察可以涵蓋實現可持續性所需的各種活動，從工業流程、供應鏈到消費者行為。
基本問題的多學科特性也促使了來自不同學科的學者和實務工作者的多樣選擇，他們擁有可持續性和國際商業理論、實踐及流程的知識和/或經驗。來自相關學科的學生和學者、企業、政策制定者以及對可持續發展有興趣的社會成員，將特別發現本書的實用性。
