“In a world struggling to use natural resources wisely, and water in particular, few companies can claim a century of doing exactly that. In Clean, Tenuta and Godfrey tell the stor y of how Ecolab integrated business and sustainability long before it was popular to do so. And along the way, they demonstrate how the company has aligned environmental stewardship with financial outperformance, an enviable combination of values and value. It is a story that is as inspiring as it is instructional, a case study of what it takes to lead in today's warming and wobbly world.”--Joel Makower, Chairman and Co-founder, GreenBiz Group “This book presents a powerful framework and case for a ‘shift in mindset’ when tackling today’s sustainability challenges. Under Emilio’s leadership, Ecolab is addressing the root cause of issues with nature-based interventions and a systems-thinking approach to improve and positively impact people and planet.” --Mary Jane Melendez, Chief Sustainability and Global Impact Officer, General Mills “The world is waking up to what Ecolab already knows: that business success and sustainability are two sides of the same coin. As a result of climate change and other threats, sustainability has become essential to the survival of every business. And society depends on the private sector achieving sustainability because of its global reach and scale. Fortunately, Clean provides concrete strategies for building a sustainable corporation. Offered in the form of hard-fought lessons from a corporate leader, Clean moves beyond simple accounting to address the root cause of problems and build solutions based on solid science. For those already on the sustainability path and those now turning to it, Clean is a critical resource for corporate change-makers. The health of our planet, the just cause of vulnerable people and places, and the success of the economy turns on their efforts.”--Dr. Jessica Hellmann, Executive Director & Ecolab Chair for Environmental Leadership, Institute on the Environment, University of Minnesota Show more
