This book on sustainable business is for advanced business education students as well as practicing managers and executives interested in sustainability or government relations. Sustainability is a global business megatrend with ramifications across all functional areas of business, from finance to supply chains. This book addresses an under-developed topic in the field, specifically, the roles of legal compliance, lobbying, and corporate governance mechanisms as barriers to, and opportunities for, sustainable business. Written by an expert in sustainable law and policy, the book offers concise and accessible discussions of the legal frameworks relevant to sustainable enterprise and perspectives on the sustainable use of corporate legal resources. Part I: Legal Compliance explains the relevant operational requirements of the laws affecting sustainability in the business arenas of supply chain management, marketing, and operations management. Part II: Lobbying explains the legacy of the United States Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission on the role of corporations in the election process. Additionally, Part II explains how corporations can influence the process for regulatory rulemaking.
