Recommendation

The world is facing multifaceted crises as “business as usual” pushes the global environment to the breaking point. With a bracing blend of stark realism and buoyant optimism, Stuart McLachlan and Dean Sanders of the green consultancy Anthesis set out a powerful argument for urgent, bold action to address the simultaneous challenges of climate change, social justice, and economic transformation. The authors offer interviews with courageous business leaders and case studies of pioneering companies that are showing the way — beyond mere ESG compliance — to achieve both sustainability and performance. An absorbing, vital, and timely contribution.

Take-Aways

  • The world is in crisis, and business leaders must take bold, rapid action.
  • The world’s strongholds – its entrenched social, economic, and political structures – are weakening, necessitating a transformative leadership response.
  • Organizations must take immediate and transformative actions to mitigate existential risks.
