There is increasing awareness of the importance of understanding corporate Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) and their relationships with sustainability, competitiveness and institutional practice. This book provides insights into strategic and sustainable EMSs, focusing on examples from around the world.

"Strategic Sustainability" will be essential reading for both managers faced with decisions regarding their own EMSs and to researchers seeking additional insights from state-of-the-art examples for further theoretical development and testing.
