Business and Trade
The globalization of business and trade has had a strong impact on the sustainability debate. Businesses are now reexamining their corporate responsibilities to the environment and the communities that support them. The pressure is strong to develop trade polices and business practices that are equitable and respect the needs of local communities and societies. If you are interested in the regulatory environments surrounding business, you may also be interested in the sections on voluntary codes and certification , regulations and legislation , and economic instruments .
