She is also working for one of the state-owned companies in South Africa, and she has held various leadership and management roles within both public and private sector organisations. She has spent more than eighteen years in corporate business environments, both in the public and private sectors. Her area of interest within the business environments has always been about exploring ways in which corporations can be enabled to operate in a sustainable manner that considers the need to preserve the natural environment and enhance societal well-being. This has led her to extensively pursue academic research in integrated business sustainability through PhD in Accounting Sciences with the University of South Africa (Unisa).
Dr. Ramaboea’s focus was to research about global business practices that view the environment, society and the business world as inseparable. She developed a conceptual integrated model during her doctoral studies, employing the IIRC practices. The IIRC practices enable an integrated business thinking that considers all factors that influence a corporation’s ability to create sustainable value. The purpose of her book is to advocate, explain and demonstrate the strategic use of the IIRC’s practices as agents of internal change and sustainable value creator within business environments. Since the strategic use of these practices as agents of change is a developing phenomenon, business environments might lack knowledge about how to apply these practices.
