The Sustainability Handbook: The Body of Knowledge Around Disruptive Sustainability Innovation: Vol 3

The Sustainability Handbook: The Body of Knowledge around Disruptive Sustainability Innovation, Volume Three provides a comprehensive and holistic understanding of sustainability, bridging the gap between academic theory and business practices. Using numerous specific case studies and insights from industry leaders, the book shows how to strategically integrate sustainability into an organization, with extensive focus on policies, incentives, measures, operations, production, consumption and lifecycle management. Aimed at those who have already established a mature Sustainability Portfolio Management approach, it explores the “why” of Disruptive Sustainably Innovation and how to capture and use Sustainability Drivers and Requirements.

This book will be ideal for researchers, students and businesspeople at all levels and sectors.
