The Role of Legal Compliance in Sustainable Supply Chains, Operations, and Marketing ?

Sustainability is a global megatrend with ramifications

across all functional areas of business. This book addresses

an underdeveloped topic in the field of sustainable

business—the use of corporate resources

dedicated to legal compliance.

In order to comply with the law, supply chain, operations,

and marketing professionals must know what the applicable

legal frameworks are. In order to promote sustainable

business, these same professionals must go beyond mere

compliance with these laws. This book will assist you in

both respects by (1) offering concise discussions of the primary

legal frameworks governing the social, economic, and

environmental dimensions of supply chain management,

operations management, and marketing; and

(2) making the business case for going beyond mere compliance with legal

requirements.

Written by an expert in environmental law and public

policy, this book argues that companies that go beyond

mere compliance with social, economic, and environmental

safeguards inherent in legal regimes will capture greater

benefits and incur fewer risks from their supply chain, operations,

and marketing activities.
