Abstract

This book explored emerging corporate approaches to sustainable development and sustainability solutions for communities and the environment. This manuscript contributes to the literature by building knowledge regarding the role of the private sector and corporate-led initiatives in the design and application of approaches to foster inclusive, sustainable development. The research focused largely on corporate sustainability within the context of the developing world. However, further research is needed to explore the potential contribution of developed countries in helping developing countries overcome sustainability challenges through corporate approaches that plan for sustainable development. Similarly, empirical research needs to be undertaken on the role of industry in developing sustainable solutions for locals in vulnerable locations.
