Book Reviews

Leith Sharp, Director & Lead Faculty Executive Education for Sustainability Leadership Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

In the USA 30+ million small businesses employ 47+% of the private workforce. This means, there is no sustainable future without small business. That is to say, future generations will not enjoy a stable climate, a viable biosphere, an equitable and opportunity rich economy, global peace, justice and inclusion, without small business making all of those things part of their core mission and business.

 

Kirkus Reviews

A plastic bag manufacturer embarks on an enlightening environmental journey in this debut book.

Romer, who co-owns a small family business that manufactures custom plastic bags for the retail market, describes sustainability as “a place where business meets faith” in this insightful account. Recognizing a “growing anti-plastic public sentiment” in 2018, he was struck by a National Geographic magazine cover highlighting plastic pollution of the ocean. He vowed to make a personal commitment to change his own company’s practices and embrace sustainability, beginning with
self-education.

 

Patrick Lindner, Senior Executive for Fortune 500 and family-owned corporations

Finding Sustainability offers a compass for family-owned businesses to navigate uncertain waters that threaten the very backbone of the company. The quest for in-depth understanding of environmental sustainability provides a compelling road map to uncovering creative solutions that are not obvious. I highly recommend Finding Sustainability to businesses of any size who are searching how to navigate a purpose-driven transformation rooted in sustainability, faith and the quest for meaning.

 An elegant and fiercely compelling rendering of one man’s commitment to understanding and addressing perhaps the most serious issue of our times, sustainability and climate change. I closed this book with a much better sense of the environment we find ourselves in today and a better sense of hope in terms of what I can and cannot do to make a difference. This is Our Home is one of the most important books I have read in a long time.

Lisa D. Foster, author Bag Lady & leadership coach

If you have been wondering what sustainability means to you, read this book! You’ll see how one person stopped looking the other way, stopped ignoring the signs, and started making changes that made him feel he was on the right path. Who knows? You just might be inspired to do the same.

Integrating sustainability into your business practices is not just an ethical imperative—it’s a strategic advantage that enhances your profits and your purpose.

You need to elevate your sustainability capability and embed sustainability into every aspect of your organization.

In Finding Sustainability and Profitability for Business, you’ll discover a step-by-step strategy to help you create a basic sustainability plan, optimize business value and profitability, and reimagine the purpose of your organization.
