	Winner of Choice Magazine - Outstanding Academic Titles for 2007 'At last a business guide that's really about Business and a sustainability guide that's really about Sustainability. In this book Hitchcock and Willard cut through the polarizing debates and the all or nothing arguments with a stepwise approach that clearly articulates how businesses can improve their performance without it being at the expense of those around them.' Christopher Sheldon co-author of Environmental Management Systems (3rd edition) 'At a time when 'big' business is beginning to mean 'sustainable' business small businesses can easily get left out. Hitchcock and Willard have filled this vital gap admirably. This is a practical guide dotted with heartening examples of helping small businesses to adopt their sustainability mantles. An optimistic read.' Tim O'Riordan Emeritus Professor of Environmental Sciences University of East Anglia UK 'People are frequently frustrated by the process of applying the broad theoretical concept of sustainability to concrete and practical applications. Hitchcock and Willard are uniquely skilled at helping organizations translate vision into action. They make sustainability accessible and understand how to leverage organizational dynamics to make a journey to sustainability possible.' Rick Woodward Corporate Director of Operations and Sustainability Coastwide Laboratories USA Sustainability promises both reduced environmental impacts and real cash savings for any organization - be it a business non-profit/NGO or government department. This easy-to-use manual has been written by top business consultants specifically to help managers business owners organizational leaders and aspiring environmental managers/sustainability coordinators to improve their organization's environmental social and economic performance. The authors demystify 'sustainability' untangle the plethora of sustainability frameworks tools and practices and make it easy for the average person in any organization to move towards sustainability. Organized by sector (manufacturing services and office operations and government) and common organizational functions (senior management facilities human resources purchasing environmental affairs and compliance marketing and public relations and finance and accounting) the authors show how organizations can incorporate sustainability into their everyday work through the application of useful tools and self-assessments.
