About the book.
Cutting through the clutter of terminology and approaches, this book uses case studies to outline a proven path to profitably secure “net zero” for facilities and their supply chains. And rather than stopping at the uninspiring target of “doing no harm,” it further empowers businesses and other organizations to create additional economic, environmental, and social benefits.
This book:
Offers numerous case studies from the Space Shuttle through the world’s first carbon neutral major food company to appropriate technology for safe water in developing countries to illustrate how to reduce environmental footprints while increasing profit margin and business value.
Explores redemptive entrepreneurship through the lens of the author’s founding of an award-winning engineering firm.
Presents strategies to strengthen the curricula of engineering, business, accounting, and procurement programs by uncovering significant sources of untapped value in conventional teaching.
