About the Book

The Role of Multinational Enterprises in Supporting the United Nations’ SDGs is an exploration of the place of the private sector in implementing select Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond the abundant literature published by the United Nations and journal articles, there are few book-length treatments of the unique role that multinationals play as facilitators of goal implementation and agents of change. This volume aims to stimulate debate and research on MNEs’ best practices, fleshing out many of the seventeen goals through the lens of corporate strategic choices. Sixteen carefully selected chapters present research advances in both study and best practices format, linking disciplines, knowledge systems, and stakeholders' perspectives to support a more sustainable business model and address the varied challenges on the road to the 2030 Agenda. They comprise a balanced mix of research methodologies: comprehensive literature reviews, theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, integrative reviews, and case studies. The book will be of use to advanced students, researchers, practitioners, planners, and policymakers worldwide who are concerned with sustainable development and corporate social responsibility issues through the lens of multinationals. Furthermore, the book is designed to be used in graduate courses in business, economics, public policy and on sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

Review :
‘While the United Nations adopted a clear set of Sustainable Development Goals around 2015, the likelihood of any country achieving all of these goals by the planned 2030 deadline seems highly unlikely. The reasons behind the slower than expected progress appear to be diverse and multi-cultural, making any type of scientific inquiry into it a major challenge. The editors of this book have taken on this challenge and provided one of the broadest and most comprehensive explanations to date. Their compilation of ideas and research from some of the top scholars around the world provides key insights for thought leaders seeking to accelerate the progress towards saving our planet.’
