As a follow-up to the extensive research carried out on the Business Case for Sustainability a very detailed study was carried out solely on the food and beverage sector.

The Business Logic for Sustainability – A food and beverage industry perspective

The food and beverage sector, with some of the world’s most well known and consumed brands, is vulnerable to pressure from worried consumers, concerned NGOs and other stakeholders to re-evaluate its environmental and social impacts. This research project focused on the management challenges that sustainable development presents to the food and beverage companies. From both quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence collected from managers over several years, Dr. Ionescu-Somers presents an analysis that can help business managers from all industries in formulating a more robust business case for sustainability in their organizations. This study and book are a veritable reality check against increasing levels of hype surrounding the subject of sustainable development over the last few years.
