Co-founder of the Institute of Social and Ethical Accountability, Zadek explores what businesses can realistically be expected to do to address the imperatives underlying sustainable development. In the new economy characterized by the acceleration of every aspect of social life corporate citizenship involves businesses taking greater account of their social and environmental as well as their financial footprints.
