The world economy runs on the profits of transnational corporations. Politicians need their backing. Non-profit organizations rely on their philanthropy. People look to their brands for meaning. And their power continues to rise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCan these companies, as so many are now hoping, provide the solutions to end the mounting global environmental crisis? Absolutely, the CEOs of big business are telling us: the commitment to corporate social responsibility will ensure it happens voluntarily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Dauvergne challenges this claim, arguing instead that corporations are still doing far more to destroy than protect our planet.
