The Challenge of Sustainability: Corporate Governance in a Complicated World reviews the evolution of five types of corporate governance and their different sustainability objectives. It discusses the challenges for boards in achieving sustainability from an environmental, economic, employment, and social perspective and introduces the concept of a political tragedy of the commons if boards do what is in the best interests of their profitability only, without considering their responsibilities and unintended consequences for their stakeholders. It explains how volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity complicate making sustainable decisions. This book explores ways of helping prevent such negative outcomes.
John Zinkin asserts the director’s need to reconcile volatility with vision, uncertainty with understanding, complexity with courage and commitment, and ambiguity with adaptability. To prevent a potential political tragedy of the commons, the book suggests new decision-making processes; treating employees differently; and makes the case for reforming capitalism. It is aimed at managers, board members and all those who influence them, including shareholder activists, corporate legal personnel, politicians, activists and general readers interested in applying some of these suggestions in their roles as stakeholders, managers and directors.

Описание: In the face of climate change and socially responsible investment principles, the metrics for driving and managing sustainability will create major data and reporting challenges for most organisations.Water is the most precious of raw materials for industry. Its foot printing and accounting alone create challenges for science and business, with different methodologies used by different sources. Current methods of meeting this challenge appear to undermine water management, and they certainly don't help from an investment management perspective.There are potentially huge data volumes from different sources in the world, in different formats. Measures are taken at different cycles/ frequencies, and models used are likely based on different assumptions. So the data management challenge is not light, nor is it simple to recycle that data back in an intelligent manner to policymakers and to the businesses concerned with water management and water risk management. This problem is compounded by the uncertainties in the models used for climate change, and the impact that some predictions of climate change will have on water.This book will be about these issues, and will pull together work being carried out by academia and business to address the challenges, highlighting promising developments. Water, Climate Change and Sustainability will address the needs of, and trends facing, several industry sectors, with a regular reference to the finance sector

Описание: Exploring the links between politics, learning and sustainability this book argues that if we are to successfully meet the challenges of climate change and sustainability we need to embed a lifelong commitment to sustainability in all learning.
Описание: In the face of climate change and socially responsible investment (SRI) principles, environmental metrics for driving and managing sustainability creates major data and reporting challenges for most organisations.For instance, for carbon foot printing and accounting alone, there are potentially huge data volumes on carbon and energy which will come from different sources in different formats, at different cycles/frequencies (and likely with different assumptions).Thus the data management challenge is not simple, nor is the process of recycling that data back as intelligence to the organisations concerned. Furthermore, if a key objective of carbon accounting is to create business (and sector) change, then existing processes need changing and adapting so that they become iterative for carbon minimisation. That is not possible without the intelligence gleaned from carbon accounting.This book focuses on these issues, and pulls together reference work by academia and businesses to address the challenges, highlighting promising developments.
