The Sustainable Organization Library (SOL) is a specialist online collection on responsible management, sustainability, ethics, environment and related areas. SOL contains more than 10,000 individual chapters, research reports, case studies and journal articles drawn from nearly 1,000 books and journals. The SOL collection contains all the materials from the Greenleaf Online Library, plus carefully selected content from a number of other publishers, NGOs and partner organizations. Each SOL item is individually discoverable, with its own DOI (Digital Object Identifier) tag and metadata, meaning the collection can be searched by chapter, or browsed by book/journal title.
SOL is delivered on the IngentaConnect platform.
