Sustainability at Work is a compelling guide for anyone who seeks both a successful career and a career that makes a positive difference in society. It illustrates how sustainability can be incorporated into every imaginable career to impact the quadruple bottom line: environment, economy, society, and future generations.

“Sustainability at Work is a great source to practically guide professionals on their career journey, providing frameworks and real-world stories of people in various sectors and professions. The content from the first edition has been used in our China MBA Program with the University of International Business and Economics (UIBE) in Beijing. This second edition is most welcome, as it expands the career narratives to include China and highlights roles to help curb climate change. It is a great addition to many university courses, and I would personally recommend it to my entourage.”

“As China undergoes a rapid acceleration towards an ecological civilization based on shared prosperity, with a pledge to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060, it is imperative that professionals gain an understanding of sustainability concepts and apply the tools to their work. The second edition of Sustainability at Work enables the reader to ground themselves in the present-day context of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies as applied to various sectors and roles. I highly recommend Sustainability at Work for global curricula.”

“As dean at INSEEC Master of Science business school, I’ve accompanied thousands of students in their career journey. Increasingly, the job market is demanding operational, entry-level staff in the fields of corporate sustainability, responsible investing, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies. The second edition of Sustainability at Work is a timely read to gain the tools and insights needed to be successful in the growing application of ESG practice. I highly recommend Sustainability at Work for today’s young professionals.”

“The second edition of Sustainability at Work is most welcome as law students and practicing legal professionals grapple with the complex intersections of environmental, social, and governance jurisprudence in the public and private domains. I therefore highly recommend this updated version to my network in Spain and Latin America.”

“The second edition of Sustainability at Work has filled a gap in the social and environmental action nonfiction field. The volume serves as a useful guide to readers in incorporating the theory of sustainability into the workplace for various roles. I have found the book to be an invaluable resource for my students.
