Corporate Environmental Responsibility

The essays in this volume map the development of the Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) concept, trace the principal debates concerning its contribution to environmental protection, assess the evidence as to what extent corporations are seeking to 'do well by doing good' and explain why some companies have gone down this path when others, similarly situated, have been unwilling to do so. In essence it asks: what has CER accomplished, what can it accomplish and what is beyond its reach.
