"Too many corporate sustainability books and corporate CSR reports simply highlight the many good but often random acts of sustainability demonstrated by organizations. This book combines known performance frameworks and management systems into a powerful tool that can sink sustainability deep into the heart of the business as a risk mitigating force that follows a plan-do -check-act format for measureable continuous sustainable organizational improvement. Stop being random in your sustainable pursuits, instead, use this book to be deliberate, purposeful and directed."
