Sustainability is going to be one of the most important issues of the coming decades. For the first time, institutions at all levels, public and private, national and international, are teaming up to combat climate change and to promote more sustainable societies. In this book, Yacine Belhaj-Bouabdallah interviews heads of states, politicians, religious leaders, leading academics, diplomats, CEOs, and heads of NGOs to make the challenges and solutions facing us more understandable to everyone.
Covering issues such preserving biodiversity, improving our food systems, building sustainable cities, and promoting good governance, Saving Ourselves aims to show that though we are facing some unprecedented challenges, we are also at a critical point in time to take advantage of all the opportunities sustainable development provides. Through interviews with 90 world leaders, this book sheds light on the different arguments presented in the fight to save our planet. The contributors include, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, President Michelle Bachelet of Chile, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh, President Ameenah-Gurib Fakim of Mauritius, President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca of Malta, Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga of Tuvalu, 6 former heads of states/governments, 5 mayors, 7 ministers, 2 Nobel Prize winners, leading academics, and the heads of organisations such as WWF International, Oxfam International, the IUCN, Unilever, and the World Business Council on Sustainable Development.

Описание: Sustainability is a concept that unifies the environment, economy, and society, and has spread as a key concept in enterprise management. The United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, which require worldwide efforts to reach a sustainable society, and also applies to private enterprises.Sustainability should be developed in connection with management strategy, and Asia's role, including that of Japan, is important to improve global sustainability. This book addresses how sustainability management in the Asian context is currently practised and proposes practices for the future.Investigation of the effect of business domain characteristics on the integration of sustainability and management, and elucidation of the process and features of EMCS (Environmental Management Control System) inside and outside of companies have been indicated. The book points that companies need to use and design Sustainability Management Control Systems in order to implement a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) strategy and match employees' behavior to CSR activities.MFCA (Material Flow Cost Accounting) has started to expand rapidly into other Asian industries from Japan as a method of Environmental Management Control. The fundamental idea and procedure of MFCA and many case examples of Japanese MFCA have been reported. These findings help us to consider a policy for continuous use of MFCA. Moreover, the relationship between Toyota Production System and MFCA has been explained and 'Material Flow Time Costing' as a new management accounting concept is proposed.Based on the literature review, the study has made recommendations for Asian companies' strategic management and governmental policy-making to improve both quality and quantity of sustainability disclosure in Asia. One of the papers has identified the development and implementation of social and environmental accounting by Indonesian state-owned enterprises and their determining factors. In a Japanese manufacture, the effect of smoothed production has been analyzed as an example of environmental management. This led to an increase in production quality without additional capital spending.
