Review
"[A] significant shift in business thinking. . . . While the debate on the role of business in environmental leadership will continue, there should be no doubt that the widespread implementation of the authors¹ approach by the business community would deliver benefits for the environment, society, and the economy." --Paul Gilding, "Worldlink" "[A] comprehensive and thought-provoking view of the role of business as it moves toward sustainable development." --William G. Brown, "Environment"

Customer Reviews

Thorough, but one sided.
Eco-efficiency provides a thorough diagnosis of what is necessary for business to grow and become more economically and ecologically efficient in a changing world, as well as providing arguments for how governments have to allow open markets to promote sustainable development. However the views are one sided, barely addressing legitimate arguments. Also, it is difficult to trust the athors who are both CEOs of companies not historically known for 'green' efficiency. And, if you can't trust the messenger, how can you trust the message?

A must to every business manager
A must to every business manager which is not yet familiar with the concept and practice of eco-efficiency.
