Chapter 1 in Business Logic for Sustainability, 2008, pp 3-14 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We live in the golden age of the internet, the mobile phone and the constant and unrelenting exchanging of information across vast distances from one end of the world to the other. For this reason, only the most ‘head in the sand’ person nowadays will have missed the increasing attention devoted to sustainable development, particularly with the recent unprecedented focus on climate change in Europe and the United States. To read the press, it seems that everyone, from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to governments to companies, is ‘on the bandwagon’, and must be seen to be doing at least something about sustainable development.1 But does the rhetoric match reality or much of it a matter of hype?
