Product Description

Product Description
Elkington convincingly argues that future market success will often depend upon a company's ability to satisfy the three-pronged fork of profitability, environmental quality, and social justice. This lively and practical guide outlines the seven great "sustainable" revolutions that are already unfolding, showing how business leaders should respond and profiles some of the world's best-known companies including Nike, Wal-mart, Levi Strauss, Volkswagen, Texaco, Intel, Volvo, Dow Chemical, Electrolux, Novo Nordisk, and Shell.

From the Back Cover
Cannibals with Forks passionately demonstrates how all businesses can and must help society achieve the three interlinked goals of economic prosperity, environmental protection and social equity, issues which are already at the top of the corporate agenda. Global in scope, it describes seven linked revolutions which will define the business environment of the first few decades of the 21st century.

"The Triple Bottom Line is becoming an imperative. Environmental and social responsibility should beat at the heart of every business leader." ANITA RODDICK Founder and CEO of the Body Shop

"Ignoring any part of John Elkington's triple bottom line invites disaster." FINANCIAL TIMES

"Cannibals with Forks is honest, practical, compassionate and deeply informed; a brilliant synthesis, cutting through the thicket of tough issues and producing elegant solutions that can be applied today." PAUL HAWKEN Author, The Ecology of Commerce

John Elkington is Chairman of strategy consultants, SustainAbility, and the author of global bestsellers The Green Consumer Guide and The Green Capitalists. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bible of sustainability, 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer
You can expect a complete perspective from the head of an organisation called SustainAbility on sustainability. That is what you get. John Elkington makes a useful classification of Non Governmental Organisations. The polarisers don't want to have anything to do with business. Business is in principle bad and should be watched and harassed. The integrators try to add two additional dimensions to business, environmental and social responsibility. Discriminators differentiate between good and bad businesses and the non-discriminators do not. This book is for the discriminating integrators. John Elkington believes that it is possible and necessary to get all businesses to act responsibly concerning profit and social and environmental issues- the triple bottom line. The book provides an excellent historical perspective of why businesses are moving on from the Friedman doctrine stating that the only social responsibility of a business is to make a profit. A business that wants to move in the sustainability direction can use the book to find out where it is on the path to full sustainability. The book also makes many practical suggestions on how to move forwards. The book is equally useful for NGOs, and public policy makers.
