'Humanity affects the natural environment in ways that threaten its own existence and wellbeing. The incentives embedded in our systems of organization and governance, supported by accountants, perpetuate and exaggerate these effects. This important book, authored and edited by the who's who of environmental accounting, examines these issues and is a must-read for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers who are interested in forming a better understanding and making a difference.'
Charl de Villiers, Professor of Accounting, The University of Auckland, New Zealand
