This book provides an interdisciplinary look at how non-financial performance, sustainability reports, and corporate governance can be used as tools to facilitate sustainable economic development. It examines emerging trends within corporate social responsibility to offer ways in which supply chain management, customers, and different stakeholders, both within development and emerging economics, can support both social and economic development. Ways in which company digitization can support the broaden digital transformation of global economies, how greenwashing can be overcome, and the empowering of gender and cultural diversity within corporate structures and broader society are also discussed.

This book highlights how industry and corporate governance can contribute to the sustainable economic development agenda and be included in the structural transformation underpinning the green transition. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in environmental economics and corporate responsibility.
