Summary
Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility in the Meetings and Events Industry celebrates what has been already achieved in moving the meetings and events industry towards a more sustainable future, and pushes the boundaries of imagination to visualize what might be possible in the years to come. Existing information only becomes knowledge when it is learned and applied, and becomes important when it is shared and communicated with and to others. This text simultaneously leverages what we have and also pushes the thresholds of our knowledge and actions toward our vision of a sustainable future for the meetings and events industry. Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility in the Meetings and Events Industry is written not only as a tool, but as a capacity-builder for future sustainable leaders within the industry. It includes a wealth of information on new sustainability tools: new standards, new technologies, and even new books.
