The fast-emerging sustainability consulting firms are nipping at the
heels of the established consultancy giants who are scrambling to find
their way in the emergent field of sustainability. The upstarts are
challenging many of the established notions of how to add value to
their clients' operations. By looking at the business world through
what the sustainability expert Stuart Hart calls "new sustainability
lenses", sustainability consultants are able to make sense of
challenges that are baffling their clients. Moreover, they are also
beginning to help their clients uncover new and sustainable value
streams, the ultimate goal of good consulting practice.
In "Consulting for Business Sustainability" sustainability consultants
from around the world offer some of their perspectives and lessons on
how to truly create sustainable value for their clients. Packed with
new tools, advice and approaches, the book comprises a unique
collection of wisdom from some of the leading lights in sustainability
consulting practice. The areas covered include: developing best-in-
class environmental management systems; sustainable design; supporting
organisational change agents; working with key stakeholders; social
impact assessments; human rights; and regulatory risk.
The book will be essential reading for practitioners in business
searching for advice and toolkits on how to make their sustainability
initiatives bear fruit, for consultants looking for advice on how
others have provided value to clients, and for students of
sustainability looking for best-practice examples and exploring future
careers in this burgeoning field.
