NEW: Return on Sustainability: How Business Can Increase Profitability
          & Address Climate Change in an Uncertain Economy

Kevin Wilhelm’s new book Return on Sustainability is a market-based call to action for companies to stop global warming by articulating the business case and addressing the business community in their language; profit and brand value. It details how climate change impacts companies, and how they can turn this risk into an opportunity to improve their financial, brand, and sustainability (environmental, social, climate) performance.

 

“Climate change is the challenge of our generation. Wilhelm offers hope, and his new Return on Sustainability is a groundbreaking process that demonstrates to businesses the qualitative and quantitative benefits of taking action today.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

“The only hope for dealing with this biggest of problems is if we all – and I mean all – pull together. Here's an important reminder that the “all” includes our businesses and industries.”

Bill McKibben, Co-founder and Director,
350.org

“Wilhelm provides a comprehensive full-systems perspective that enables executive, managers, and employees to understand how their job is tied to climate change – both from a risk and an opportunity perspective.”

Gifford Pinchot, Co-Founder, Bainbridge Graduate Institute
