The Triple Bottom Line: How Todays Best-Run Companies Are Achieving Economic, Social and Environmental Success -- and How You Can Too
by By Weber, Karl and Savitz, Andrew W.
Category: Business & Economics , Business Ethics

Where most books on sustainability focus on how societies can benefit if companies take a more responsible approach, Savitz' text centers on how companies can become more profitable by doing the right thing. The author first looks at how and why some well known corporations have begun to respond to pressures for greater accountability in recent years, and then offers corporate leaders a set of tools--must-do's, don't do's, and simple charts and lists--and stories demonstrating how to adjust business practices to achieve sustainability. Formerly head of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Sustainability Business Services, Savitz' is now with an independent advisory firm based in Boston. Jossey-Bass is an imprint of Wiley.
