This new edition is completely revamped and reorganized to reflect the change in standards and regulations and to include all new topics related to organizational sustainability and risk management. The role that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) play within the realm of organizational sustainability is one of many new topics.
Organizational Sustainability and Risk Management: A Practical Step-by-Step Guide, Second Edition will continue to remind all stakeholders how organizations work through a measurement transformation that affects everything they do including following the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) Guide for Sustainability and climate change. The book is enriched with a discussion on life cycle thinking that has been introduced in the ISO high-level structure. Discussions on a fundamental change in how organizations approach sustainability and how we view organizational sustainability are covered. This book offers a platform for managing all activities, products, and services tailored to the needs of the organization and presents how important environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards are to determine the potential for increased financial growth of organizations that have implemented organizational sustainability.
The book is for professionals and can be used in continuing education sustainability courses as well as company-provided short courses where the new regulations for sustainability and ESG reporting are addressed.

About the Author
Denice Viktoria Staaf
Denice Viktoria Staaf found her way to sustainability through the green building movement. She has been an Accredited Professional under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Standard for over 20 years. She is passionate about sustainability for manufacturers and supply chains under the overall organizational sustainability umbrella. She believes that the systematic approach taught by Dr. Pojasek, outlined in this book, is the way forward for organizations to contribute to sustainable development positively. She graduated from Harvard University, earning a master’s degree in Environmental Management & Sustainability with a concentration in the Built Environment.
Denice has recently focused on circularity as a deeper dive into organizational sustainability using the process approach to achieve results. She is a member of the Circular Transition Indicators (CTI) Framework Implementation Partners by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and recently joined the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee for the Circular Economy (TC 323).
Denice founded the consulting firm Labeling Sustainability in 2016 after helping companies of her friends with sustainability for fun; she loves organizational sustainability and being of service to manufacturers. Today, Labeling Sustainability is a global consulting firm and Type III Environmental Product Declaration Program Operator assisting international organizations with their sustainability documentation needs. Although the organization has grown from the days she did LCAs for her friends, Denice Viktoria Staaf still thinks sustainability is fun.
Robert B. Pojasek, PhD
Dr. Pojasek has been active in the reformatting of the corporate sustainability reporting by using the organizational structure that is presented in the first volume of this work, i.e., organizational sustainability." To make this happen, I have worked closely with Denice Viktoria Staaf, who has introduced herself above.
Dr. Pojasek has been interested in the organizational practice of organizational sustainability since the lead-up to the 1992 Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro. The United Nations was successful in convincing large companies to get involved in the concept of sustainability as the United States and Europe began introducing legislation on providing communities with clean air and water. Prior to this event, Dr. Pojasek had spent 12 years developing pollution prevention programs in the companies. The interest in "sustainability" and the experience of working with facilities to eliminate or reduce the "waste" in their operations was just beginning. However, consulting firms and university research was slow to develop. Consulting firms were focused on the permitting of processes, not on the elimination of their use.
Dr. Pojasek began teaching pollution prevention at Tufts University, with an eye on developing what people defined as "sustainability." He worked to build interest in this topic by publishing over 100 journal articles on the topic and inviting industry managers to take the courses that he was teaching at Tufts. In 200, he worked with several professors at the Harvard Extension School to develop a "master’s degree program" that would require courses that he wanted to teach. The program began in 2002. Dr. Pojasek developed a course in "Organizational Sustainability" and taught that course for 20 years. He is still working hard to have more practical courses, books, and experiences with organizational sustainability that will soon be supplemented with "sustainable finance." That is the new frontier of this developing story. It is a little soon to be introducing volume 3 of this series. Maybe the first two volumes (volume 1 is in paperback) will convince you to work with corporations to make the changes to adopt the new formats for organizational and financial sustainabilty.

Standard Business Terms and customer information
I. Standard business terms
§ 1 Basic provisions
(1) The following terms and conditions of business apply for all contracts concluded with us as the supplier (preigu GmbH & Co. KG) via the websites AbeBooks and/or ZVAB. Unless otherwise agreed, the inclusion of your own terms and conditions is explicitly rejected.
(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .
(2) If an article is placed by us with AbeBooks or ZVAB, the activation of the page on AbeBooks or ZVAB shall involve the binding offer to conclude a contract under the terms and conditions contained in the article page.
(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.
(4) The execution of the order and the sending of all the details necessitated by the conclusion of the contract take place via e-mail, in a partially-automated manner. Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
