Why Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Is Reshaping Corporate Strategy

Banking, Money and International Finance

The emergence of financial technologies has unlocked a myriad of possibilities for reshaping governance systems, from the grassroots level of micro-governance to the broader scope of national and transnational governance. This book thoroughly examines the significant impact of cutting-edge financial technology on enhancing worldwide access to financial services. In an era marked by persistent governance challenges, it highlights the transformative potential of AI-driven solutions in fostering more equitable economic participation. Overcoming traditional banking barriers to serve underserved and unbanked communities, the book investigates the fourth wave of fintech innovation depicted by AI, blockchain technologies and decentralized systems. The book begins by presenting the fundamentals of digital innovation, particularly emphasising the transformative role of AI-powered financial tools in improving banking experiences for various global communities. It emphasizes the role of digital payment platforms in bridging the gap between urban and rural populations, as well as the way blockchain technology and smart contracts are setting new benchmarks for transaction security and transparency. Its primary focus is on the strategies for overcoming financial exclusion. Cybersecurity compliance, ethical AI, data governance, and regulatory coordination are considered essential for creating trustworthy digital financial systems. Additionally, it thoroughly examines the alternative credit scoring methods that use non-traditional data to transform lending and presents the opportunities and challenges that will shape the future of finance, with a particular emphasis on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), sustainable blockchain solutions, and artificial intelligence collaborations. For scholars, researchers and policymakers working to create a more accessible and sustainable financial future, the book offers a thorough overview of the state of inclusive fintech today and a predictive outlook on how technology can promote global economic equity.

Financial Innovation for Inclusive and Equitable Digital Economies

This book is a comparative study of how courts and oversight bodies review lawmaking processes, exposing democratic deficits and advocating for transparent, participatory legislative reform across Europe. In an era of fast-track legislation and executive overreach, the democratic legitimacy of lawmaking is under increasing pressure. This timely and original volume offers the first comprehensive, comparative analysis of how judicial and non-judicial bodies monitor and assess legislative procedures across Europe and beyond. Drawing on examples from Hungary, France, and the United States, the book highlights troubling trends - such as the use of expedited processes, exclusion of opposition voices, and lack of public participation - that undermine democratic principles and good governance. Contributors examine how courts, parliamentary committees, and international organisations like the Venice Commission respond to these challenges, offering insights into their capacity to uphold constitutional standards and human rights protections. The book also explores the broader implications of defective lawmaking for the rule of law, separation of powers, and the achievement of global goals such as the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda. Featuring leading scholars and practitioners from across Europe, including underrepresented jurisdictions, the volume bridges theory and practice, offering a rich interdisciplinary perspective. It is essential reading for academics, legal professionals, policymakers, and civil society actors concerned with the integrity of democratic institutions and the future of legislative governance. By shedding light on the mechanisms of procedural review, this book makes a compelling case for more transparent, inclusive, and accountable lawmaking in democratic societies.

European Perspectives on the Procedural Review of Parliamentary Lawmaking

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management: Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management: Lies provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

Plant Chemistry

Nanocellulose has emerged as one of the most promising sustainable nanomaterials of the twenty-first century due to its exceptional mechanical strength, biodegradability, renewability, and wide-ranging applications. Derived from abundant biomass and agricultural residues, nanocellulose presents innovative solutions to pressing global challenges, including resource depletion, environmental pollution, and the need for sustainable materials within a circular bioeconomy framework.Sustainable Utilization of Nanocellulose and its Derivatives provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the production, modification, and advanced applications of nanocellulose. The book explores sustainable extraction technologies from agricultural and agro-industrial residues such as wheat, rice, hemp straw, bamboo, and banana waste, highlighting resource recovery and waste valorization strategies. It further covers surface modification and characterization techniques, nanocellulose-based composites, hydrogels, films, and coatings, along with emerging applications in food packaging, environmental remediation, biomedical engineering, drug delivery systems, energy storage and photovoltaic devices. The volume also addresses current challenges and future opportunities related to the large-scale production and commercialization of nanocellulose. Bridging fundamental science and technological innovation, this book serves as an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, material scientists, environmental engineers, and industry professionals seeking sustainable solutions for a circular and bio-based future.

Sustainable Utilization of Nanocellulose and its Derivatives

This book provides a concise and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development, examining its historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary governance challenges. It traces the emergence of sustainability from early ecological warnings to its institutionalization through international frameworks, demonstrating how sustainable development has become a central organizing principle of global policy.Organized around seven thematic chapters, the book covers the conceptual and legal foundations of sustainability, its core governance principles, socio-technical transition pathways, property and commons theory, global sustainability finance, and the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence for development. Each chapter integrates legal analysis, governance theory, and, in some cases, real-world case studies to show how sustainability principles move from rhetoric to enforceable norms. Key features include accessible chapter abstracts, a comprehensive list of abbreviations, and a structured list of figures supporting visual learning. The book approaches sustainable development not as a technical toolkit but as a political and institutional challenge requiring systemic reform.The volume is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental studies, law, governance, economics, and public policy, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability transitions, international environmental law, and development governance.

Governance, Law, and Global Transitions

A Concise Introduction to Sustainable Development

Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies

Sustainability has become a key priority for organisations across business markets and networks, yet understanding how it is enacted within and across business relationships remains an important challenge. At the heart of these relationships are humans: people who interpret sustainability, make decisions, negotiate priorities, develop relationships, and translate sustainability ambitions into practice. This book explores the human side of sustainability in business-to-business (B2B) marketing, foregrounding the role of human actors in relationships, organisations, networks, and wider systems.Across five parts, the book brings together conceptual perspectives and empirical studies examining how managers, employees, and other actors understand and enact sustainability in diverse B2B contexts. The chapters address topics including sensemaking, sustainable business relationships, circularity transitions, competence development, employee behaviour, humanistic management, governance, social sustainability, and sustainable procurement. Together, the contributions reveal sustainability as a multilevel and relational process shaped by the interplay between human agency, organisational practices, business relationships, and broader network and institutional contexts.The book will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in B2B marketing, business relationships and networks, and sustainability, as well as managers and practitioners seeking to understand how sustainability is interpreted, negotiated, and implemented in practice.

The Human Side of Business Relationships

B2B Marketing and Sustainability

A practical, clever, down-to-earth guide to making decisions big or small, fast—from writer, journalist, and nationally acclaimed decision coach Nell McShane Wulfhart. We are drowning in choices—from major life decisions like whether to move, marry, or change careers, to relentless daily dilemmas about what to wear, eat, say, or do. In a world that glorifies optimization and “smart” choices, we’ve wound up paralyzed, deferring, deliberating, and overthinking to the point of exhaustion.&nbsp; Decision-making has become a source of stress instead of empowerment. Nell McShane Wulfhart is here to change that. In Decide in an Hour, she tackles the epidemic of indecision head-on and offers readers a lifeline: the tools to make better choices quickly, without feeling guilty, spiraling, or second-guessing. In this book, Wulfhart teaches us how to: <ul><li>identify the decision we’re actually making (a shockingly common obstacle)</li><li>eliminate noise and make the call—fast</li><li>follow through with confidence, even when others disagree</li><li>make the most common major life choices (career, relationships, kids, where to live) through the use of a decision-making field guide</li></ul> Equal parts wise, warm, and no-nonsense, Decide in an Hour offers clarity and momentum for how to start making smart, confident decisions today.
