Leading Sustainably

The business world is at an important crossroads. The age of the stakeholder is rapidly superseding that of the shareholder as climate change and political and societal shifts upend years of seeming prosperity. To move past this agitated age, business and society must forge a new contract.

Inspired by the launch of the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals, the book captures the ideas of more than 60 thought leaders and change makers across the business world about how they are putting sustainability at the core of their organizations to survive, thrive, and realign their interests with society. The book includes eight vignettes profiling best-in-class examples of companies that have been sustainable from the start and includes case studies that span industries, from hospitality to waste management, fashion to steel and more.

The book is a perfect guide for mid-level to senior managers who seek to understand the growing importance of sustainability in business and how the SDGs have changed everything.
