Description
Sustainability explores two of the major challenges faced by organisations in the 21st century. One is the successful management of human resources in a time of increasing staff turnover, decreasing loyalty, rising stress levels and emerging issues of corporate-community relations and social responsibility. The other is growing pressure from governments, staff and the general public for organisations to adopt environmentally responsible operations. Sustainability provides leaders and managers with a framework for understanding and adopting the principles and practices that contribute to a renewable, sustainable workforce and environment. Organisations that can achieve both human and ecological sustainability will be the successful drivers of the new sustainable economy---and those that don't face the prospect of extinction. 'A comprehensive guidebook for corporations that are really serious about shifting to more equitable, ecologically-sustainable operations.'Hazel Henderson, leading futurist and author of Beyond Globalisation.'. the wisdom and experience of the authors collected here make essential reading .'
