On 26 February, the new book ‘Corporate Sustainability’ was presented in the Academy Building of Leiden University. Authors Tineke Lambooy, Bas Rombouts and Marit Bosselaar spoke about their contributions. Marlies Nijemeisland, Sustainability Coordinator at Leiden University, received the first copy.
'Corporate Sustainability’ offers practical insights into legal aspects of sustainability for private companies.
The book sets out why sustainability is not a choice, but a legal necessity for companies and provides in-depth frameworks for legal practice and strategy. In this comprehensive publication, experts analyse the legal aspects of sustainability within private companies, from environmental and social obligations to governance and liability. The unique reference work is structured around the themes Environment, Social and Governance, and addresses current issues including the Paris Climate Agreement, the EU Taxonomy Regulation, human rights, CSRD/CSDDD legislation, and liability in sustainable remediation.
The book forms a legal compass for sustainability in business. It is intended for lawyers, legal professionals, compliance officers, business consultants and entrepreneurs who not only want to understand sustainability, but also want to embed it legally in strategy and decision-making. Thanks to its combination of practical applicability and academic depth, it serves as a valuable guide for day-to-day practice and future-oriented sustainability.
The book is available from Wolters Kluwer.
