Employee Engagement with Sustainable Business by Nadine Exter

Employee Engagement with Sustainable Business by Nadine Exter

This book will provide insight, examples and advice on the different types of employees who are, and can, contribute to a sustainable world via the organisation they work for: what they are doing from within the organisation to contribute to societal, economic and environmental sustainability.

‘This book provides critical insight and best practices into how to inspire, equip and harness leaders and colleagues as passionate ambassadors and changemakers for the sustainable business of the future … both theory and practical cases enable the reader to consider the critical levers for building sustainability into the mindset and DNA of the organization’ – Lauren Iannarone, Head of Citizenship, Barclays Bank plc

‘Employees: the missing link in too many company sustainability strategies, except when it comes to energy efficiency and recycling. But they can be the rocket fuel in successful corporate initiatives. Nadine Exter shows how.’ – John Elkington, a world authority on corporate responsibility and sustainable development, Founding Partner & Executive Chairman of Volans, author of Zeronauts

‘Change is often instigated from above by a single charismatic leader. However, for change to become permanent it is necessary for a mass of committed, innovative people to make it their own. This book is an overdue ‘tip of the hat’ to all those who roll their sleeves up and make things happen.’ – Paul Monaghan, Director, Up the Ethics, and former Head of Ethics and Sustainability at the Co-operative Group

‘Finally, a book that can help us avoid the apocalypse described at its outset. Through the actions and social entrepreneurship—the difference making—of individuals in companies, the unsung heroes, sustainability specialists, social intrapreneurs, champions, and godparents, Nadine Exter offers us much needed hope that individual actions can make a huge difference in creating a world that all of our grandchildren can still live well in.’ – Sandra Waddock MA, MBA, DBA, Galligan Chair of Strategy and Professor of Management, Carroll School Scholar of Corporate Responsibility, Carroll School of Management, Boston College, USA

"The book gives valuable advice on how to engage employees with sustainable business. It has the potential to expand your thought process and take you to the next level on the journey to become a truly sustainable company." – thinktosustain.com
