Reviews

"""This edited collection provides a great entry into pathways to corporate sustainability. The overview of practical means to strengthen the role of institutions, including law and corporate governance, makes this publication an indispensable tool for anyone interested in the interlinkages between corporations and sustainability."" Prof. Jeroen Veldman, Nyenrode Business Universiteit Sustainability can no longer be promoted as an entirely voluntary consideration. (Failing) markets are being too slow to adapt to the climate emergency, both on the (public) demand and the (corporate) offer side. Minimising and mitigating climate change requires a much more decisive policy intervention. This edited collection offers valuable insights on the three inter-related policy areas of public contracts, corporate governance and higher education (of future leaders), and much food for thought for policymakers wanting to get serious about the biggest challenge on their agendas. Prof. Albert Sanchez-Graells, Professor of Economic Law and Co-Director of the Centre for Global Law and Innovation at the University of Bristol Law School."
