Focusing on decisions to invest in wind turbine technology as part of a corporation?s CO2 emission reduction strategy, it presents a new evaluation framework, based on the triple bottom line framework widely used by businesses to communicate their adherence to corporate social responsibility. This new framework allows the evaluation of strategic corporate decisions to invest in wind turbines to mitigate global warming in the context of a corporation?s social responsibility, and includes an objective measurement stage to add rigor to the evaluation process. The book describes the use of measured data from wind turbine projects to both develop and validate the methodology, and also identifies key enablers and barriers as businesses attempt to successfully integrate corporate social responsibility into their overall business strategy. Given its scope, the book appeals to postgraduate students, researchers, and business professionals interested in the environmental impact of corporations. Featuring case studies from Ireland, it is particularly relevant to audiences within Europe. 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aIndustrial management?Environmental aspects 606 $aNatural resources 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aRenewable energy resources 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 606 $aSustainability Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515040 606 $aNatural Resource and Energy Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010 606 $aCorporate Social Responsibility$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010 606 $aRenewable and Green Energy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aIndustrial management?Environmental aspects. 615 0$aNatural resources. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 0$aRenewable energy resources. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 14$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aSustainability Management. 615 24$aNatural Resource and Energy Economics. 615 24$aCorporate Social Responsibility. 615 24$aRenewable and Green Energy. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 676 $a658.408 700 $aKealy$b Tony$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0935195 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373957703321 996 $aEvaluating Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility Projects$92106237 997 $aUNINA
