Business Guide to Sustainability [PDF ebook] 
Practical Strategies and Tools for Organizations

Winner of Choice Magazine – Outstanding Academic Titles for 2007 Sustainability promises both reduced environmental impacts and real cash savings for any organization – be it a business, non-profit/NGO or government department. This easy-to-use manual has been written by top business consultants specifically to help managers, business owners, organizational leaders and aspiring environmental managers/sustainability coordinators to improve their organization’s environmental, social and economic performance. The authors demystify ’sustainability’, untangle the plethora of sustainability frameworks, tools and practices, and make it easy for the average person in any organization to move towards sustainability. Organized by sector (manufacturing, services and office operations, and government) and common organizational functions (senior management, facilities, human resources, purchasing, environmental affairs and compliance, marketing and public relations, and finance and accounting), the authors show how organizations can incorporate sustainability into their everyday work through the application of useful tools and self-assessments.
