| dc.description.abstract | This analysis examines the effectiveness of sustainability efforts within the Canadian built sector through the lens of the relevant academic literature on corporate social responsibility. The academic literature provides ample support for the value of sustainability and guidelines for effective implementation of these initiatives. A detailed analysis of three Case Companies highlights the perceived value of sustainability efforts in terms of estimated economic benefit and abatement of negative externalities. It demonstrates as well as the effective role of non-governmental organizations and regulatory regimes within the Canadian built sector. | |
