About this book
Amid the many challenges facing the world today - not least the climate crisis - the need for bold and steadfast leadership has never been greater. How to Be Sustainable uncovers the strategies that lead organizations to sustainable success.
While over 90% of business leaders recognize the importance of sustainability, only 60% have a strategy in place. And many of these strategies are inefficient, ineffective, or simply don't go far enough to address the global challenges we are facing.
Leading sustainability expert Paolo Taticchi and co-author Melina Corvaglia-Charrey have interviewed some of the world's leading Chief Sustainability Officers from various sectors and businesses including Enel Group, Microsoft, Canon, and Sage. Guided by expert insights and real-world examples of sustainable practices, this book explores the impact and significance of sustainability in business, offering practical strategies and tools that will allow you and your business to make a positive impact. Whether you're an experienced leader, an aspiring CSO, or passionate about sustainability, the insights shared in this book will empower and inspire you to shape a better world for future generations.
