Helping business leaders understand what their sustainability priorities are, this book is an essential guide exploring what stalls company-wide environmental action and how to turn it around.

The science is clear. Businesses need to act. And while research shows CEOs and other leaders are on board with sustainability, what we see in reality is rising emissions and companies retracting their net-zero commitments. In order to solve grave environmental concerns related to non-renewable energy use, climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, leaders from all disciplines must collaborate to change company culture and develop long-term solutions.

Exploring the challenges of leading sustainability strategies and the regenerative business models needed to implement positive change, The Sustainability Playbook is driven by insights from global leaders and CEOs. Including essential guidance from CEOs at Chanel, IKEA, Microsoft and Patagonia Provisions to name a few, this book helps business leaders understand what their sustainability priorities are, what stalls global action and how businesses can turn it around.
