His aim was to explore the many varieties of global approaches to sustainable business practices first-hand and to share some of the most innovative global examples. The result is this treasure trove of a book, full of stories, ideas, links to more than 100 video interviews, best practices and tools for making sustainable business work in a myriad of different contexts, cultures and settings. Besides sharing insights from his 2010 "CSR Quest World Tour", the author captures his professional experiences and the evolution of sustainable business over the past 20 years. The path begins in Africa and winds its way through Asia, North America, Europe, Australasia and Latin America. The author shares what he has learned in encounters with mega-corporations and small farmers, and conversations with CEOs and social entrepreneurs. There are facts and figures about world trends, and interviews with thought leaders and activists. This is a tale that consciously weaves the personal and the professional, mixing anecdotes and case studies. It looks outwards and reflects inwards, and is both autobiography and the life story of a global movement."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$vCase studies 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aSustainable development$vCase studies 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aSustainable development 676 $a174.4 700 $aVisser$b Wayne$0853196 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786294403321 996 $aThe Quest for Sustainable Business$93683700 997 $aUNINA
