Commerce and the Environment
Multiplin offers expert advice on the interactions of the natural environment and commerce. Environmental factors are all too often not sufficiently considered in various ventures. The cost of ignorance regarding environmental impacts will not only cause certain businesses to incur severe costs presently and in the future, but may also harbour immeasurable costs in respect of our collective human heritage and health. This interactive area accordingly relates closely to the spheres of human health, and also environmental law. As is characteristic, Multiplin combines the expert perspectives of interdisciplinary specialists and intradisciplinary specialists in dealing with the variety of complex issues in the context of commerce and environment. The intersdisciplinary specialist responsible for this area is Hilary Anderson, Environmental Economist and Business Statistician.
