How can managers today respond to the most pressing ethical, environmental and social challenges?"

The Responsible Manager: Building Blocks of an ESG Perspective offers a timely and accessible introduction to what it means to build a responsible business. As climate change, corporate fraud and workplace discrimination dominate headlines, managers must learn to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns into everyday decision-making. Far from abstract theory, this book offers real-world relevance, translating ESG principles into practical tools and perspectives that managers can apply across industries. It empowers readers to move beyond a profit-first mindset and embrace a broader, more holistic and stakeholder-oriented vision.

Meena Raghunathan holds a BSc (Hons) in Chemistry, a Diploma in Radiological Physics, and an MBA in Marketing from the University of Jodhpur, with over 35 years of experience across the NGO and corporate sectors. She brings a 360° perspective on ESG, having spent 19 years in the non-profit sector and 15 years with the GMR Group, leading CSR initiatives in education, health, and livelihoods. She also teaches postgraduate courses on sustainability, ethics, responsibility, and social entrepreneurship, and is known for simplifying complex ESG concepts for learners and professionals.
