Between May 2019 and November 2022, the author engaged in dialogues with Senior Executives representing major multinational corporations, overseeing their corporate sustainability endeavours. The thematic spectrum of these conversations encompassed diverse topics such as The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Water-stressed regions, Ocean Plastic, Chemical Recycling, Renewable Energy, Sustainable Tourism, and the Just Transition, among others, with each episode concentrating on a singular subject. In this book supporting illustrations and graphs together with background references enrich the insights the conversations convey. The reader will learn about the sustainability challenges companies are facing and how they approach them. The book gives examples of sustainable solutions and international collaborations around greenhouse gas reduction, circular economy, restorative tourism as well as reducing plastic pollution and other global sustainability challenges. 0aIndustrial managementxEnvironmental aspects.968586 0aBusiness ethics.958372 0aManagement.9324 0aPower resources.96215414aCorporate Environmental Management.96858724aBusiness Ethics.95837224aManagement.932424aNatural Resource and Energy Economics.9687802 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303158595108iPrinted edition:z978303158597508iPrinted edition:z9783031585982 0aCSR, Sustainability, Ethics & Governance,x2196-708340uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-58596-8  aZDB-2-BUM  aZDB-2-SXBM  c62174d62174
