A Better Planet: Forty Big Ideas for a Sustainable Future Audiobook, by Daniel C. Esty

Publisher Description

Green to Gold is an essential guide for forward-thinking business leaders who see the Green Wave coming and want to profit from it. This audio explores what every executive must know to manage the environmental challenges facing society and business. Based on the authors' years of experience and hundreds of interviews with corporate leaders around the world, Green to Gold, shows how companies generate lasting value - cutting costs, reducing risk, increasing revenues, and creating strong brands - by building environmental thinking into their business strategies.

Green to Gold is written for executives at every level and for businesses of all kinds and sizes. Esty and Winston guide leaders through a complex new world of resource shortfalls, regulatory restrictions, and growing pressure from customers and other stakeholders to strive for sustainability. With a sharp focus on execution, Esty and Winston offer a hard-hitting yet inspiring road map that companies can use to cope with environmental pressures and responsibilities while sparking innovation that will drive long-term growth.

Green to Gold is the new template for global CEOs who want to be good stewards of the Earth while simultaneously building the bottom line.

"I thought this economically-focused environmental book was a refreshing twist on the typical environmental books. The facts and figures presented are well-support and make for an interesting and informative read. I would recommend this to all the skeptics out there on the "green" movement."

    " Read it as a text-book for an Business & the Environment class. The book read well, easy like Freakonomics or Undercover Economist but was too American-centric to be of much use, particularly in a class taught in Asia. The lecturer was American though! -Mel "
