Aperçu
Prioritizing the health of the planet is good for companies, investors, employees and consumers.
Recommendation
Today’s consumers and investors are pressuring industries to become more accountable and responsible. Businesses must reinvent themselves to meet today’s social, environmental and financial challenges. Sustainability consultant Suhas Apte and business professor Jagdish N. Sheth believe sustainability is the core of continued growth and long-term success. The authors provide a “sustainability roadmap” to guide your organization through the transformation toward meeting this goal and to identify ways to engage all your stakeholders. Despite their tendency to rely on industry-speak, getAbstract recommends the authors’ business case for sustainability to forward-thinking leaders and environmental advocates.
