The Adventure of Sustainable Performance

A guidebook for leaders to create value from sustainability and organisational performance.

The Adventure of Sustainable Performance seeks out bold pioneers or forgotten pioneers who need reinvigorating and to be inspired with renewed purpose. Leaders who want more than just modest incremental efficiency gains, who want to create value, to deliver positive impact and meaningful change, should welcome this book. In a time of disruption like never before, boundaries will need revisiting, systems need reimagining, and assets need repurposing through wise stewardship.

The authors share their many years of experience serving clients and driving performance as the world transitions to a net zero carbon future. A future that uses resources sustainably and that seeks social justice. Through storytelling and interviews from many international leaders in business and sustainability, and by anchoring practical advice with evidence and truth, you will find:

* The avalanche of new regulations and changes to the compliance landscape

* The opportunity for value creation beyond compliance box ticking

* Inspirational stories on how ambitions can be reset

* A destination that supports ongoing prosperity for humanity from sustainable performance models

* How purpose driven brands generate superior value

* The role of 'Total Value Systems' as we move from shareholder to stakeholder capitalism models.

* The relationship between sustainability, talent and customer attraction

* How digital will play an increasingly important role as the world pivots in response to the climate crisis

Be in no doubt, The Adventure of Sustainable Performance describes an adventurous journey, uncomfortable at times, where a new and cold reality is dawning. But, in a period when the world will continue to play at denial or talk more of ruins, this book helps leaders to instead see foundations. Foundations upon which the new era will be built, and new systems of value will be realised.

Perfect for executives, managers, directors, and other business leaders, The Adventure of Sustainable Performance is an actionable guidebook for the implementation of value-add sustainability programmes.
