Sustainability Delivered was written to help supply chain managers, entrepreneurs, executives, and stakeholders develop the awareness and skills needed to support sustainable supply chain management in their firms.

The book also explores how sustainable supply chain management can be a key contributor to a firm's competitive advantage. With case examples, workshops, and step-by-step instruction in how to create a sustainable supply chain, Sustainability Delivered is the most practical and usable book on the market for



helping business leaders authentically pursue and deliver on sustainability ideals.
