This book seeks to build on the success of Green to Gold, which showed that business leaders have come to understand that (1) environmental issues have become a critical element of strategy, and (2) the environment is not just a burden but can also be an opportunity. While the logic of "going green" has become apparent, many business people remain unclear about how to "green" their operations in practice, let alone address wider sustainability challenges. The Green Business Playbook offers practical guidance on how to integrate environment and sustainability considerations into business plans and practices.In the current economic climate, business leaders want a concrete and concise collection of steps that will lead to environmental, social, and economic advantage. Unlike many green business books, the Playbook deals exclusively with tools and strategies that have been proven to work in real-world businesses. The Playbook also seeks to help businesses position themselves for the upturn and the opportunities that the new economy presents. In short, the Green Business Playbook provides businesses with the "know how" to enable them to create the business success they read of in Green to Gold.
