Beyond Sustainability Reporting: Integrated Thinking and Corporate Social Responsibility
Congratulations to our colleague and friend Gerald Trites on his very timely and valuable forthcoming book.
“Beyond Sustainability Reporting: The Pathway to Corporate Social Responsibility” is a must-read for any companies wanting to make a strong contribution to sustainability issues, for educators who wish to teach sustainability issues and how to manage them, students who wish to benefit from the latest thinking in this area from one of Canada’s most innovative voices, and for anyone interested in knowing how companies can develop a strong and successful action-oriented program for sustainability.
Besides the valuable content in the main part of the book, there are three useful appendices that would be of great interest to practitioners, educators and students alike.
You can pre-order the book at a very affordable price on Amazon at Amazon.ca : “Beyond Sustainability Reporting: Integrated Thinking and Corporate Social Responsibility”
