The sustainability management handbook by Anke Steinbach

Which concepts of sustainability, ESG, and CSR are relevant in a corporate context? How can greenwashing be prevented? How do you truly embed sustainability in the organization? How can you be an authentic leader when it comes to sustainability?

Anke Steinbach answers these and other questions on sustainability and business transformation, drawing on over 20 years of consulting experience. The book “DO YOU SPEAK SUSTAINABILITY?” was published in 2021, and much of it remains relevant today.
