Corporate Environmental Responsibility
Edited by Neil Gunningham, Australian National University, Australia
The Library of Corporate Responsibilities
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.
