Full Description

The Handbook of Critical Environmental Accountability and Sustainability broadens our understanding of how business and the natural environment interact, assessing how market and trading mechanisms can be used to manage this significant relationship. It highlights international perspectives on sustainability as well as the varied applications of environmental accounting theory.

Expert authors explore topics including the limits of growth, cultural associations and nature, feminist theorising, and the role sport plays in diverse cultures. They provide in-depth critical analysis of dominant theories shaping environmental accounting and examine recent work on the connections between environmental and social imaginaries. Chapters shed light on hermeneutics, interpretivism and critical theory to reveal nature's meaning in current debates, using an economic and financial lens to define corporate social responsibility and underline the importance of climate action to meet the Sustainable Development Goals.

This Handbook is an essential resource for scholars and students of environmental accounting and management, as well as business and environmental studies. It is also a beneficial read for general environmental theorists in business, government and education due to its discussion of the interplay between accounting, environmental accountability and governance.
