Book description
Sustainability is a global megatrend with ramifications
across all functional areas of business. This book addresses
an underdeveloped topic in the field of sustainable
business—the use of corporate resources
dedicated to legal compliance.
In order to comply with the law, supply chain, operations,
and marketing professionals must know what the applicable
legal frameworks are. In order to promote sustainable
business, these same professionals must go beyond mere
compliance with these laws. This book will assist you in
both respects by (1) offering concise discussions of the primary
legal frameworks governing the social, economic, and
environmental dimensions of supply chain management,
operations management, and marketing; and
(2) making the business case for going beyond mere compliance with legal
requirements.
Written by an expert in environmental law and public
policy, this book argues that companies that go beyond
mere compliance with social, economic, and environmental
safeguards inherent in legal regimes will capture greater
benefits and incur fewer risks from their supply chain, operations,
and marketing activities.
