The book, 'The Adventure of Sustainable Performance', guides leaders in redefining their sustainability and organisational goals. It begins by addressing current realities and ESG compliance challenges, framing them as opportunities for value creation. The book explores netzero, circular business models, and inclusive capitalism as avenues for significant growth in the emerging era.
Drawing from interviews with C-suite executives and decades of experience, the authors critique traditional models that prioritize shareholder value over other stakeholders and resources. They advocate for 'total value systems' that benefit all stakeholders and transition assets into future-oriented economies. This guidebook, rich with practical case studies, offers inspiration and actionable insights for leaders across industries. It underscores the importance of creativity, courage, and vision in the ESG journey.
The book describes an adventurous journey, uncomfortable at times, where a new and cold reality is dawning. But, in a period when the world will continue to play at denial or talk more of ruins, this book helps leaders to instead see foundations, upon which the new era will be built, and new systems of value will be realised.
This book is helpful for CEOs, CFOs, and enterprises striving to meet stakeholder expectations.
