While many have focused on what sustainability means for business strategy, precious few have paid attention to actually making it happen inside large corporations. In this new book, Marc Epstein shines the guiding light for those charged with implementing sustainability the necessary structures, systems, metrics, and performance measurements. If your challenge is to overcome the corporate antibodies to drive innovation through sustainability, this is a must-read. Stuart L. Hart, S.C. Johnson Chair of Sustainable Global Enterprise, Cornell University, and author of Capitalism at the Crossroads --Cornell University

Marc Epstein is a successful, proven navigator in these complex new risk and opportunity spaces. Fasten your safety belts - and make sure your CEO and board have copies of this invaluable guide ready to hand. John Elkington, Founder and Chief Entrepreneur, SustainAbility --SustainAbility

Marc Epstein has been teaching and writing around corporate sustainability and reporting issues for decades, long before they became trendy. This book is a very readable and easy-to-use compilation of his experience and research. I highly recommend it for practitioners in all levels of management or for stakeholders who should understand what the company on the next block is or is not doing right.
