Special Issue on the Roles and Responsibilities of the Professions for Environmental Sustainability and Social Responsibility

The aim of the Journal of Environmental Sustainability is to advance understanding of environmental sustainability in order to serve as a bridge between academic and practitioner communities and guide policy and management practice to achieve environmental sustainability. The breadth of environmental sustainability is so broad as to require roles for all professionals.

Papers are welcome from all professions including but certainly not limited to: Environmental Management, Environmental Management, Human Resources, Accounting, Legal Affairs, Marketing, Manufacturing, Occupational Health and Safety, Product and Process Design, Purchasing, Operations, and so forth.
The Journal seeks papers that explore how one or more of these professions are contributing or may contribute to moving an organization toward environmental sustainability.

Submittals are welcome in the following categories:
• Research: articles presenting the results of original research.
• Synthesis: articles presenting new understandings constructed from previously unconnected elements.
• Case studies: articles presenting practices exemplifying relationships
• Insight: articles presenting new ways of looking at existing concepts or practices by providing new perspectives or challenging underlying assumptions.
