Synopsis

Sustainable Frontiers

About this title

Review:

The world of corporate sustainability is fast-moving, complicated, and beset with deeply irritating jargon. Ideas evolve rapidly; companies love novelty for its own sake, and can t stop themselves reinventing the wheel; consultancies and think-tanks are keen to prove their own superior products and their own "intellectual capital". Conceptually, it s all a bit of a mess! So if you want to sort the wheat from the chaff, and disentangle the gobbledegook from the ideas and practice that really matter, then Wayne Visser is your man and Sustainable Frontiers provides a great way of accessing important insights into a world that is going to be more and more critical to future business success. --Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director, Forum for the Future

Sustainable Frontiers brings the kind of well-informed yet readable insights to sustainability that we have come to expect from Wayne Visser. This book is much more than a dry textbook; it deals with complex issues succinctly, with verve and understanding. The author is one of the few sustainability protagonists who is unencumbered by a narrow lens on the world. A truly global perspective is taken, embracing the latest developments and combining them with scholarly and wide-ranging business examples. Above all, the book is forward-looking, offering measured solutions and suggestions for the future. --Laura J. Spence, Professor of Business Ethics, Royal Holloway University of London

Wayne has woven a "wonder-full" quilt of ideas, contexts and currents on where Sustainability has brought us - and could take us. Enjoyable, erudite, entertaining and enlightened. --Dr Puvan J. Selvanathan, Head, Food and Agriculture, UN Global Compact
