Both the GRLI and the new Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Journal (SAMPJ) seek to find “practical and policy solutions to improve social and environmental performance.” The GRLI seeks to do this through the promotion of a next generation of responsible leaders and recognises the importance of economic, social and environmental sustainability.Leadership is an important element in fostering change within organisations and society. The SAMPJ is a multi-disciplinary journal which seeks contributions from academics, practitioners and policy-makers in order to find practical and policy solutions to bring about change.Similarly, the GRLI brings together academics from a range of disciplines and 'business practitioners' with the aim of developing responsible leadership, recognising that academics and organisational participants

need to work together to achieve the change that is needed.

Editorial Objective:

The aim of the Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Journal is to find practical and policy solutions to improve the social and environmental sustainability performance of (private, public sector and non governmental) organisations and societies.

The Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Journal provides a forum for quality research contributions with practice and policy implications concerning the interactions between social and environmental sustainability, accounting, management and policy. The contributions will be drawn from differing socio-economic and political environments with an international, national or organisation specific analysis taking a single, inter- or multi- disciplinary perspective.

Publishes:

The journal will bring together work from a range of disciplines to promote a multi-disciplinary perspective to developing practical and policy solutions to improving the social and environmental sustainability performance of (private, public sector and non governmental) organisations and societies. (In addition to inter- and multi-disciplinary papers, the journal will take single disciplinary papers which are important to researchers/practitioners/policy makers/etc in the field, regardless of their main discipline. Such papers would be expected to be accessible to readers coming from different discipline perspectives.)

Editorial Objectives

Organisations can become conditioned by competitive pressures to narrow their goals and adopt an overly instrumental logic, stripped of any meaning beyond simple profit. The survivalist impulse is self contradictory, because it reduces longer term viability. It also reduces the organisation’s legitimacy because a narrow focus diminishes the net contribution that the organisation can make to society. The adoption of global responsibility is therefore an act of leadership, a voluntary and wilful deployment of the resources of an organization towards building sustainability.

Sustainable leadership takes responsibility for the renewal of the resources available to the organisation, rather than simply their use and waste. It sees moral authority as a resource to be built on and renewed with each act of careful and inclusive decision making. It contextualizes the organisation’s progress within the wider progress of society and takes a long term view. Sustainable leadership builds global responsibility into the culture of the organisation. The Journal of Global Responsibility (JGR)wishes to publish rigorous scholarly explorations of these themes, especially where they build the capacity of organisations and their leadership to adopt a more global responsibility

Journal of Global Responsibility publishes scholarly articles that build the kind of understanding that will lead organisations towards the adoption of a longer term focus and a more inclusive set of responsibilities. These organisations better sustain themselves and society. The journal wants to help organisations rethink themselves and to encourage them to evaluate their own progress in terms of the progress of the communities in which they operate and thus lead the entrepreneurial and creative capacity of capitalism to become a force for building common good. Global responsibility has a systems view and cares about the effects of action, so it builds both the legitimacy and stability of the system. Leaders can be supported by catalytic and innovative thinking from all the sub disciplines of management (finance and accounting, strategy and marketing, operations and human and organisational studies) as well as the more fundamental academic disciplines including philosophy, sociology, politics, history and psychology.
