The Sustainability Handbook: The Body of Knowledge around Substantial Sustainability Innovation, Volume Two provides a comprehensive and holistic understanding of sustainability, bridging the gap between academic theory and business practices. Global climate change poses enormous environmental challenges, and societies across the world must adapt and innovate to further the goals of sustainability.

Using a conceptually structured framework throughout, the book examines the latest academic research to summarize what environmental, social, and economic sustainability means in different contexts.

Using numerous specific case studies and insights from industry leaders, the book shows how to strategically integrate sustainability into the organization, with extensive focus on policies, incentives, measures, operations, production, consumption, and lifecycle management. For researchers, students, and businesspeople at all levels and sectors, this handbook is an essential reference of the latest sustainability tools and methodologies required to adapt and innovate towards sustainability.
