Book description
Organizations that prioritize environmental,
health, and safety (EHS) issues are well placed to attract better
customers, better talent, and today's growing number of socially
responsible investors. But, to gain these benefits, companies must
choose the right sustainability strategies, and then manage and
measure them well. Now, leading business sustainability consultant
Peter Soyka offers a complete and actionable guide to driving
greater value through sustainability. In Creating a
Sustainable Organization, Soyka bridges the disparate
worlds of the EHS/sustainability professional and the
investor/analyst. Readers will learn what the evidence says about
linkages between sustainability and value… how to manage key
stakeholder relationships influencing corporate response to EHS and
social equity issues… how to effectively manage
sustainability throughout the business… how to evaluate
sustainability posture and performance from the standpoint of
external investors and internal management… how to maximize
the influence of organizational actors focused on sustainability,
and much more. This book will be invaluable for all environmental,
health, and safety decision-makers and professionals concerned with
improving sustainability and value; for executives and strategists
seeking long-term competitive advantage; for stock analysts
evaluating potential investments; and for researchers and MBA
candidates currently studying the techniques and potential of
corporate sustainability.
