"To be sustainable we need to shift our mindset - to view the world through a different lens. We need to move from an unconstrained economic growth lens to a sustainability lens."In the past 10 years we have heard a lot about financial crises, environmental crises such as massive oil spills and extreme weather events (droughts, floods, hurricanes ...), and social crises such as extreme poverty. And yet, we don't seem to be making much progress in addressing the underlying causes of these issues. Why?The Little Book of Sustainability questions the environmental and social sustainability of what has been our business-as-usual model and finds it seriously wanting. The book scrutinises the current modus operandi of the business world and recommends a new way of doing things. For real change to be embraced, you need both dissatisfaction with the status quo and a compelling vision of a new model.The Little Book of Sustainability is about a new way of doing business, one that assures the wellbeing of current and future generations. The book draws on original research and case studies of organisations that have embraced sustainability principles to construct a new business model, the sustainability business model. The Little Book of Sustainability provides a very readable guidepost to what "right" might look like for the future 21st century corporation.

"In January 2010, author, academic and social entrepreneur Dr Wayne Visser set off on a nine-month, 20-country "quest" to talk to entrepreneurs, business leaders and innovators and learn about how companies in all parts of the world can and are helping to tackle the world's most pressing social and environmental problems. His aim was to explore the many varieties of global approaches to sustainable business practices first-hand and to share some of the most innovative global examples.The result is this treasure trove of a book, full of stories, ideas, links to more than 100 video interviews, best practices and tools for making sustainable business work in a myriad of different contexts, cultures and settings. Besides sharing insights from his 2010 "CSR Quest World Tour", the author captures his professional experiences and the evolution of sustainable business over the past 20 years.The path begins in Africa and winds its way through Asia, North America, Europe, Australasia and Latin America. The author shares what he has learned in encounters with mega-corporations and small farmers, and conversations with CEOs and social entrepreneurs. There are facts and figures about world trends, and interviews with thought leaders and activists. This is a tale that consciously weaves the personal and the professional, mixing anecdotes and case studies. It looks outwards and reflects inwards, and is both autobiography and the life story of a global movement."--Provided by publisher.
