This book traces the history and theories of
corporate environmental strategy and applies them to
a natural experiment in Latin America. Through
extensive fieldwork and statistical analysis, a
number of surprising conclusions are drawn about the
dramatic differences between, and motivating factors
for, multi-national practices across different
countries. By comparing the relative environmental
and social performance of 35 hospitality sites using
62 different metrics, we discover a set of
diagnostic tools for predicting best and worst
performers. The results offer a toolkit for leaders
in developing countries, as well as business leaders
investing there, for fostering truly sustainable
development.
