Corporate sector today is accountable for its actions with regard to environmental issues. Corporates can no more afford to be negligent towards the environment; rather they have to contribute to its development alongside achieving their economic growth. Policies and acts are in place to provide guidance to the corporate sector. As environment is a global issue and it is not possible to view it in isolated situation, any environmental policy has to be global in nature. Besides having accountability towards society, the corporate institutions also have a role in the funding of global environment. All these issues form part of this book titled ‘Corporate Global Environment’. Apart from delving into the corporate part of global environment, the book also gives its readers, an insight into the general conventions and protocols pertaining to environmental protection. The editors’ experience reflects in deft handling of the subject matter and makes the book worthy of collection.
