Awareness of sustainability pressures is encouraging innovation and creating competitive advantage, while sustainability itself is being re-framed with an explicit pro-business agenda based on the power of innovation rather than the old notion of trade-off (if business wins, society must lose). Contributing authors — who include John Elkington, Hunter Lovins, and many other leaders in business, management, and nvironmental studies — highlight the value-creation opportunities in their respective areas, providing a body of shared knowledge to be updated in the years ahead. This volume is a core resource for business and economics students, policy makers, members of the development community, entrepreneurs, and corporate executives. It includes rich analysis of how sustainability is being factored into industries across the globe, with enlightening case studies of businesses that are serving as agents of change. The Business of Sustainability is a project of the Center for Business as an Agent of World Benefit at Case Western University.
