Increasingly, conscientious consumers and green marketers are recognizing that material things, not firms, must be made responsible. Even so, many scholars in ethics, sustainability, and governance focus on people and organizations, ignoring the flows of things. In this book, Ryan Burg argues that material things are fundamental features of moral life, serving as both valuable instruments and guides for responsibility. Unless care is taken for these non-living entities, living things cannot be protected. Viewing the global economy as a network of material transfers, Burg argues that to facilitate object care, professionals must act as stewards. By tracing the origins and disposal of workplace objects through this material network, businesses and employees can discover the outcomes for which they are responsible, and managers can align ethics, sustainability and governance with a truly global formulation of responsibility.

'Objects can help us decide who should be responsible for what'. That is the premise of this fascinating study of the tentacles of ethics and responsibility surrounding objects and how they come to be what they are. Ryan Burg offers an insightful, rich, and comprehensive analysis of the ethics surrounding objects. This fresh - and refreshing - approach to business, individual, and societal responsibilities is very compelling and should find wide readership among both scholars and practitioners.'
