The climate crisis is the greatest challenge facing our world, so it's vital that all businesses step forward and lead the charge. Sustainability Heroes uncovers the strategies that lead to sustainable success.
While over 90% of business leaders recognise 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 combat climate change.
Leading sustainability expert Paolo Taticchi has interviewed some of the world's leading Chief Sustainability Officers from businesses including Microsoft, Deloitte and Hitachi. He draws upon these expert insights to explore the impact and significance of sustainability in business, before offering practical strategies that will allow you and your business to make a positive impact.

Understanding this evolution is a crucial step in selecting the risks worth taking and the way to manage them properly. It is also important to choose those risks that need to be avoided. A sustainable strategy is about projecting a company's success over a longer period of time and choosing the right risks. This book is a great manual for achieving this goal. A sustainable company is a company that knows and consciously manages the proper risk portfolio." * Francesco Starace, Partner at EQT Group and SBTi Chair *
