Synopsis

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 co-ordinators to lower their environmental impact and improve the bottom line.

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, government) and function (senior management, facilities, human resources, purchasing, environmental affairs and compliance, marketing and PR, and finance and accounting), the authors show how organizations can incorporate sustainability in their everyday work through the application of useful tools and self-assessments.
