Phrases like "business ethics", "environmental protection" and "wealth distribution" are being talked about in board rooms and cabinets around the globe.The Centre for International Business and Management (CIBAM) at Cambridge Judge Business School in Cambridge invited some of the leading thinkers in "Green Business and Green Values" to share their thoughts on how to meet these new business challenges in the 21st century.
