Summary

1. "The perception of a business's sustainability can have a real impact on the bottom line. The rewards for responsibility, accountability and transparency can be high, whilst any failure to live up to a commitment to sustainability can undermine prospects for future growth. The Sustainable Enterprise will help organizations negotiate the challenges involved, and sheds light on an area that has become a critical consideration for business in the 21st century."--Jacket.
