Material Detail

This book dismantles one of the most persistent and dangerous myths in modern business: that sustainability can be achieved by adding green initiatives to organizations fundamentally designed to ignore ecological and social limits. For decades, companies have layered environmental programs, social responsibility departments, and sustainability reports onto business models built for unlimited extraction and growth. The results speak for themselves: despite trillions spent on corporate sustainability, we face accelerating climate disruption, collapsing biodiversity, and widening inequality.   The problem is not lack of effort or sincerity. The problem is architectural. You cannot make a machine sustainable by attaching sustainability features to it while leaving its core operating logic unchanged. You must rebuild the machine itself. This book shows you how.   Through a rigorous examination of organizational design, this book introduces a new framework for understanding what sustainability actually requires: not a strategy that competes with other priorities, but an operating system that makes sustainable outcomes the default rather than the exception. You will learn how to diagnose the hidden codes running beneath your organization's surface, how to rewrite the incentives, governance structures, capital allocation rules, decision rights, and performance logics that currently drive unsustainable behavior, and how to install a new operating system that aligns organizational success with ecological and social thriving.   This is not a book of incremental improvements or feel-good gestures. It is a manual for fundamental transformation, written for leaders who recognize that the old approaches have failed and who possess the courage to rebuild from the foundation.
