Dan Esty (one of the co-authors) is the only faculty member at Yale who is a joint professor with the Forestry School and Yale Law School. He is the Director of the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy as well as the Yale World Fellows Program.
"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 )
The other book that was recommended to me is Green Business: A Five-part Model for Creating an Environmentally Responsible Company.
As one reviewer wrote:
This is a large-format, coffee-table book that makes a colorful and enjoyable introduction to the basic elements of enhancing sustainability for any type of business. It is written at a more basic level and is successful in giving a broad overview of the range of typical sustainbility practices:
+ Greening your mission
+ Greening your employees
+ Greening your operations
+ Greening your facilities/sites
+ Greening your products/service
