Abstract
Since the nineties, companies have come a long way in the area of corporate sustainability management and have learned to manage their stakeholders more systematically. However, partnerships go far beyond stakeholder management. They require a shared mission and implementation. What are the lead examples? What are their actions, achievements, pitfalls and success factors? The authors of this book employed a comprehensive screening process to identify the key partnerships in the areas of climate change, sustainable food, public health and human rights.

Using the findings of some 160+ interviews with experts in the field they explore the latest thinking on sustainability partnerships. The result is an invaluable guide for any manager embarking on involvement in a sustainability partnership be they with a corporation, NGO or governmental institution.
