Corporate Environmental Strategy (CES): International Journal of Corporate
Sustainability
http://www.cesjournal.com/Pages/HomePage.htm
CES is the foremost, international quarterly management journal dedicated to
describing the connections between environmental management and sound business
strategy. We use the case-study approach to discuss how profitability and
sustainability can be achieved while moving beyond the regulatory and
liability issues that have motivated environmental response in the past. Our
editorial policy is to provide clearly argued, high quality non-technical
articles on innovative and profitable approaches and solutions across the full
spectrum of strategies, systems, tools, partnerships and functions found in
business community and its stakeholders worldwide. Our aim is to contribute to
and help drive the debate on what, why and how organisations can achieve added
value and the triple bottom line of sustainable development.
