The Green to Gold Business Playbook: How to Implement Sustainability Practices for Bottom-Line Results in Every Business Function

Green to Gold Business Playbook is an important contribution to a rapidly evolving business concept. Author Daniel Esty is a Professor at Yale and a recognized Sustainability heavyweight. Businesses seeking to embrace Sustainability find that the scope of what Sustainability involves is very broad and still emerging. Further, Sustainability is strategic, meaning that it affects organizations at a fundamental level. Consequently, Sustainability initiatives are individually designed for each organization. One size definitely does not fit all.There is a mountain of information available on Sustainability, on line and in print. Green to Gold Business Playbook has been extensively researched, such that it organizes the gist of that information in a manner that businesses can actually use to construct a Sustainability initiative.Two caveats: First, Green to Gold Business Playbook is intended for businesses in general. Specific businesses will need additional research to locate information specific to their industry and situation. Second, Green to Gold Business Playbook is a book, so its contents are limited to information available to at the time the book went to press. Of course, the book may be revised in the future as new information becomes available. Additionally, the authors provide a website, which may be helpful in the future.Bottom line: Green to Gold Business Playbook is a slam dunk for those involved with developing a Sustainability initiative. Casual readers will find Esty's earlier books more useful.

This book was required for class, and it is a great resource for any product stewards or business people looking to make their products more sustainable and green.

I enjoyed using it throughout the semester and possibly for further use. It was good reference for my class and tests.

This is an incredibly thorough and impeccably researched book. It moves well beyond establishing the business case for sustainability; offering brass tacks solutions. If you are already sold on the idea that a sustainability strategy will add value to your business, this book is the next step.

This is a one stop shop resource for all things green, renewable, sustainable, and environmental. This a is a great guide that walks you through how to make your business a place of continued imnprovement.

Don't buy the Kindle ebook for reference! I bought this for a college course and it is completely useless to me. I had to buy another elsewhere. There are no page numbers so I can't use it for the required references in the papers I have to write. Searching is also a pain, so do yourself a favor and buy the PDF.

I highly recommend this incredible read! This book uniquely positions thought provoking real-world company best practices along with pragmatic innovative sustainability strategies from which any size company could benefit. It sets a new standard!

Exactly what I thought it would be. I will definitely recommend this to others. I have no complaints with the order.

Excellent book and a needed addition to any corporate library.

J'ai acheté ce livre pour un cours de Sustainable Development, et j'ai reçu le livre très rapidement, et de bonne qualité
