"This is a remarkable book about two dozen remarkable leaders ... You
hear the Difference Makers tell their separate stories in their own
words. And what fascinating stories they are!
...
Waddock skillfully weaves selected passages from their accounts in
chain-like fashion to reveal the early emergence of social investing,
its subsequent full-blown development, the expansion into employee,
consumer, and environmental issues, the creation of global standards
and human rights principles to guide corporate policy, and the literal
invention of networking agencies to spread the word directly to firms,
governments, educators, and the public citizenry worldwide ... And
this is not just dull 'history' but a lively account of how these
social inventors translated generalized concepts into operational
systems.
...
As James Walsh says in the Foreword, 'Sandra Waddock is a difference
maker.' Author of books and articles about corporate responsibility,
former editor of the Journal of Corporate Citizenship, a recognized
world authority on business-society relationships, an indefatigable
worker and colleague in the struggle for workplace human rights, and a
veteran of her own early struggles as a woman to gain her well-
deserved professional status, Sandra Waddock clearly is a Difference
Maker extraordinaire.
...
You owe it to yourself and to your students to get better acquainted
with all two dozen Difference Makers.
William C. Frederick, July 2008

Watch the author (wmv video) talk about Sustainable Value:
http://www.greenleaf-publishing.com/content/chrislaszlo.wmv
"At a time when more and more business people are waking up to their
contribution to environmental degradation and talking about the
importance of moving toward sustainability, there is precious little
in the business literature about how to do sustainability. Chris
Laszlo has written a valuable guide that begins to fill the gap
between talk and action. Read 'Sustainable Value', dispel the myth
that environmental responsibility is expensive, and form a new vision
of industry as part of the solution rather than a part of the problem;
and more profitable at that, not less."
Ray Anderson, Founder and Chairman, Interface, Inc.
"In the swelling sea of sustainability literature, Chris Laszlo's
'Sustainable Value' offers an island of clarity and focus. By
combining compelling storytelling with actual cases and tools, he
shows how mainstream companies can build competitively superior
strategies by solving the world's social and environmental problems.
Prepare to cast the 'trade-off myth' adrift once and for all."
Stuart L. Hart, S.C. Johnson Chair in Sustainable Global Enterprise,
Cornell University and author of "Capitalism at the Crossroads"
"Integrating sustainability into business activities is increasingly
driving innovation and entrepreneurship. Global industry leaders are
leapfrogging traditional EH&S and CSR approaches in favor of new
business models that create value for shareholders and for society.
'Sustainable Value' is a bold and inspiring read for managers who want
the 'story' of sustainability as well as compelling case studies
accompanied by a structured guide to managing in the new business
context."
Luk Van Wassenhove, The Henry Ford Chaired Professor of Manufacturing,
INSEAD

John Elkington, Founder and Chief Entrepreneur, SustainAbility

field. This book will be an invaluable resource for senior executives,
boards, and managers looking to integrate sustainability into their
decision making"
"Strategic Finance"
"Epstein has done a remarkable job of taking the existing methods of
management and expanding them to include environmental and social
impacts that, until now, were externalized or relegated to the
business fringe. Armed with the insights and techniques in this book,
practitioners will be able to tackle the sustainability challenges of
their organizations in ways that can make them and their companies
more successful."
