This book shows in an excellent way, how sustainable development is not anymore a loomy catchword but is entering the everyday life of public and private organizations. The authors have done excellent work to demonstrate the advantages of those organizations who are proactive enough to consider fully the implications of this ongoing transformation in our societies.
