The fundamentals of sustainability (waste elimination and resource extension) from a business application angle.

Recommended for managers, employees, teachers and students, this readable and informative guide explains the importance of waste minimization as a first step toward sustainability.

This is the 2nd edition of The Sustainable Business (2010), winner of The President's Award for Excellence in a Published Body of Work at Kozminski University, Poland. Recommended for managers, employees, teachers and students, this readable and informative guide explains the importance of waste minimization as a first step toward sustainability. Within its pages, the breadth and depth of long-term profitable business practices are explored with an emphasis on optimizing resources (including labour and markets) and maximizing purchases and investments while eliminating the costs of non-product (waste), unemployment, short-term thinking and environmental degradation. As proof of its potency, The Sustainable Business has already been disseminated to over 1.3 million people around the world and the first edition is available in four different languages. The bottom line: if you're looking to gain insight on the future of business, this is it!

This very important book stresses that sustainability is sensible and hard-headed, covering such areas as the legal, financial, economic, industrial, social and behavioural aspects of business - [S]ustainable measures - have the happy side-effect of helping to preserve our environment at the same time. This book is one of the most comprehensive and thoughtful guides as to how we might do that. Professor Eric Cornuel, Director General and CEO, EFMD
