Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Two experts from Yale tackle the business wake-up-call du jour-environmental responsibility-from every angle in this thorough, earnest guidebook: pragmatically, passionately, financially and historically. Though "no company the authors know of is on a truly long-term sustainable course," Esty and Winston label the forward-thinking, green-friendly (or at least green-acquainted) companies WaveMakers and set out to assess honestly their path toward environmental responsibility, and its impact on a company's bottom line, customers, suppliers and reputation. Following the evolution of business attitudes toward environmental concerns, Esty and Winston offer a series of fascinating plays by corporations such as WalMart, GE and Chiquita (Banana), the bad guys who made good, and the good guys-watchdogs and industry associations, mostly-working behind the scenes. A vast number of topics huddle beneath the umbrella of threats to the earth, and many get a thorough analysis here: from global warming to electronic waste "take-back" legislation to subsidizing sustainable seafood. For the responsible business leader, this volume provides plenty of (organic) food for thought.

Review

"The future of our country and our children's world depends on getting society on a sustainable track with regard to both energy needs and environmental requirements.  It is up to corporate leaders to meet this challenge, and Green to Gold blazes a trail for businesses of all kinds to follow."―Michael Morris, CEO, American Electric Power

-- Michael Morris

"Every business, big or small, in manufacturing or services, faces environmental risks and opportunities. Esty and Winston show how companies have benefited from taking these challenges as strategic opportunities, but they also detail why corporate environmental initiatives often fall flat. There are important lessons to be learned from both the successes and the failures."―Bertrand Collomb, Chairman, Lafarge

-- Bertrand Collomb

"Environment and sustainability issues have become an important focus in business generally and in the financial world in particular. Green to Gold is rich with both big-picture thinking and practical 'how-to' suggestions that will help bankers, analysts, fund managers, and investors stay on top of the 'green wave.'"―Larry Linden, Advisory Director, Goldman Sachs

-- Larry Linden

"Esty and Winston have produced a compelling blueprint for how companies can address critical environmental problems, from climate change to water, and improve their performance, gain competitive advantage, make more money, and win friends."―William K. Reilly, Founding Partner, Aqua International Partners and former Administrator, US Environmental Protection Agency

-- William K. Reilly

"Green to Gold is a must-read for the twenty-first century CEO. Esty and Winston provide convincing examples of how companies out-compete their peers by tackling sustainability head on, engaging stakeholders, developing NGO partnerships, and folding environmental stewardship into their corporate culture."―Tensie Whelan, Executive Director, Rainforest Alliance

-- Tensie Whelan

"No executive can afford to ignore the green wave sweeping the business world. Esty and Winston show how to make sustainability a core element of strategy―and profit from it."―Chad Holliday, CEO, DuPont

-- Chad Holliday

"Green to Gold is a must read for anyone interested in investing in the vast emerging environmental markets."―Mark McGough, President and CEO, Pentadyne Power Corporation

-- Mark McGough

"Green to Gold provides the definitive thinking on how business leaders can address environmental issues in the new economy, a world where companies win by integrating company strategies with social challenges, rather than treating economic and social as separate and different."―Michael E. Porter, Professor, Harvard Business School

-- Michael E. Porter
