Description
Understand how to scale up sustainability and implement effective strategies while thinking about organizational success with this essential book. It's imperative that organizations looking to make a difference have a solid strategy in place that aligns both altruistic and pragmatic interests in order to truly drive change. With market demands making it difficult to operate a business that is beneficial to the planet or society, the question for those working in sustainability is how to reach sustainable goals by engaging every aspect of business. Strategic Sustainability takes an alternative approach so that those working in sustainability can implement the needs of a successful business with the aspirational ideals of a more sustainable future. Authored by a leading voice in sustainability, this book will explore the challenges of driving sustainability strategies and the regenerative business models needed to implement positive change. Led by practical insights and real-world examples from organizations such as Unilever, Walmart and the United Nations, Strategic Sustainability helps organizations implement effective strategies while thinking about long-term success. Helping sustainability leaders understand what their priorities are, this book is an essential guide exploring what stalls global action and a plan on how to turn it around.
