Product Description
***Recipient of the 2007 OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE AWARD from Choice***
* A no-nonsense guide on how to "green" your office or business.
* Practical strategies that can be implemented at the department and enterprise level
* Applies to businesses, not-for-profits, and government offices
Sustainability promises both reduced environmental impacts or ecological footprint and real cash savings for any organization - be it a business, non-profit/NGO, or government department.
This easy-to-use manual has been written by top business consultants specifically to help managers, business owners, organizational leaders, and aspiring environmental managers and sustainability co-ordinators. It demystifies "sustainability," untangles the plethora of sustainability frameworks, tools and practices, and makes it easy for the average person in any organization to move toward "sustainability."
Organized by sector (manufacturing, services, and government) and function (top management, marketing and PR, purchasing, facilities, human resources, finance and accounting and health and safety), the authors show how organizations can apply sustainability in their everyday work through the application of useful tools and self-assessments.
This is the most comprehensive and user-friendly guide to implementing sustainability in any organization and is indispensable for all organizations seeking to lower their environmental impact and improve the bottom line.
