Springer Environmental Management Accounting & Supply Chain

Explore the critical intersection of environmental accounting and supply chain management in this Springer publication. As part of the Eco-Efficiency in Industry and Science series, volume 27 addresses the complex data requirements of modern business relationships. This book examines how supply chain processes provide essential data regarding environmental impacts. It specifically looks at the areas where the boundaries between internal and external accounting become unclear. By analyzing these connections, the text offers a new perspective on how organizations can track their ecological footprint through their network of partners. Contributors present the concept of 'accounting for cooperation' as a way to improve environmental outcomes. This approach serves as a positive complement to the traditional 'accounting for competition' model. It is an essential resource for those studying management science and looking to understand how business organizations can move toward more sustainable and collaborative operational models.
