Sustainable Value - How the Word's Leading Companies Are Doing Well by Doing Good

A small but influential group of mainstream global industry leaders are now reinventing the role of business in society by creating Sustainable Value. They are creating it through the provision of value to both their shareholders and their stakeholders – an ever growing list of diverse constituents impacted by the social, environmental, and financial performance of global business. In short, they are doing well by doing good.

In this outstanding book, Chris Laszlo defines, illustrates, and shows how business can action ‘Sustainable Value’ through a management fable, inside stories from some of the largest corporations in the world and with frameworks, tools, and methods that will make Sustainable Value creation concrete for business practitioners everywhere.

“In the swelling sea of sustainability literature, Chris Laszlo’s Sustainable Value offers an island of clarity and focus. By combining compelling storytelling with actual cases and tools, he shows how mainstream companies can build competitively superior strategies by solving the world’s social and environmental problems. Prepare to cast the ‘trade-off myth’ adrift once and for all.”
