Business enterprises at all levels are placing increasing emphasis on sustainability tools in their daily operations, yet there is considerable uncertainty over what they can or should be doing. The Sustainable MBA is the first book of its kind, providing a guide and toolkit for the current generation of MBAs and executives who need to know what the environmental practices and sustainability issues are and how to meet them.

The Sustainable MBA provides the knowledge and tools to help you “green” your job and organization, to turn sustainability talk into action for the benefit of your bottom line and society as a whole. Based on more than 100 interviews with experts in business, international organizations, NGOs and universities from around the world, this first of its kind guide brings together all the pieces of the business and sustainability puzzle including:



· The basics on what sustainability is, why you should be interested, how to get started, and what a sustainable organization looks like.

· A wide range of tools, guidelines, techniques and concepts that you can use to implement sustainability practices.

· Tools and tips on how to “green” your job, including how to sell these ideas to your team, how to make green choices as a consumer and how to organize green meetings.

· A survey of the exciting trends in sustainable business happening around the world.

· A wealth of links to interesting resources for more information.



The Sustainable MBA is organized like a business school course – allowing you easy access to the relevant information you need about sustainability and Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Ethics, Finance, Marketing, Organizational Behaviour, Operations and Strategy.
