It also reviews alternative models of corporate sustainability that contribute to achieving inclusive, sustainable development globally.

Lastly, the manuscript showcases international corporate sustainability and climate change practices in the forestry, agriculture, tourism and manufacturing industries within the context of Asia and The Pacific region, particularly, Nepal and Bangladesh.
