The Role of Multinational Enterprises in Supporting the United Nations' SDGs

Edited by John R. McIntyre, Silvester Ivanaj and Vera Ivanaj

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The Role of Multinational Enterprises in Supporting the United Nations’ SDGs is an exploration of the place of the private sector in implementing select Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond the abundant literature published by the United Nations and journal articles, there are few book-length treatments of the unique role that multinationals play as facilitators of goal implementation and agents of change. This volume aims to stimulate debate and research on MNEs’ best practices, fleshing out many of the seventeen goals through the lens of corporate strategic choices.
