Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The term andquot;eco-efficiencyandquot; describes business activities that create economic value while reducing ecological impact and resource use. This book outlines the principles of eco-efficiency and presents case studies of their application from a number of international companies, including 3M and the Dow Chemical Company. It also discusses the value of partnershipsandmdash;with other companies, business associations, communities, regulators, and environmental and other nongovernmental groups. In the conclusion, the authors argue that business must become more eco-efficient and that governments need to change the conditions under which business operates, including tax and regulatory regimes, to make them more conducive to eco-efficiency.

Review:

While the debate on the role of business in environmental leadership will continue, there should be no doubt that the widespread implementation of the authorsandsup1; approach by the business community would deliver benefits for the environment, society, and the economy.andquot;
andmdash;Paul Gilding, Worldlink

andquot;[A] comprehensive and thought-provoking view of the role of business as it moves toward sustainable development.andquot;
