Green Controlling and Finance. Case Studies

This book exemplifies activities undertaken by selected enterprises towards resolving significant problems related to green controlling and finance. It presents how the analysed enterprises employ (or may employ) green controlling for coordination of initiatives in environmental and social dimensions. The authors focused primarily on the financial angle of the solutions regarding environmental and social aspects within the scope of corporate strategy, value creation, financial planning, budgeting, indicator analysis, reporting, cost management, investment appraisal, risk analysis and estimation of capital cost. The analyses performed enabled the researchers to prove that elements of green controlling connected with finance are present in the discussed enterprises and may serve as examples of good practices for other business entities striving to increase enterprise value in the long run.
