‘Sustainability in business is complex because of the interdependencies and interconnectedness to other elements of the firm’s core business. The Handbook on the Business of Sustainability is a compilation of chapters that constitute a “call to action” on the business aspects of sustainable growth. It brings forward novel concepts to help businesses think through the critical issues. I have no doubt it will be an invaluable resource to academics, practitioners, and policymakers.’
