Companies that go green benefit from a wide range of competitive advantages, including long-term cost reduction and new commercial opportunities. Today, customers and employees expect – indeed, demand – that organizations improve their environmental practices. The best way to move ahead, according to Brett Wills in this hands-on book, is becoming “lean and green.” Wills guides you through the specific steps your firm must take to achieve environmental sustainability. Cleaning up the Earth will require real effort on the part of the business community. getAbstract thinks this manual gives you some helpful ideas on how to get started, and recommends it to executives and operations managers.
