Ethical Profit is the business book we need. Richardson's pragmatic approach to sustainability for SME's is filled with information, strategies and tools you can apply immediately. Over 98% of companies in the world are SMEs, yet they are the most challenging to engage in sustainability initiatives. This books fixes that dilemma. Its plethora of real-world examples will help SMEs see that smart sustainability strategies give them a competitive advantage. If every small business adopted just a few of these ideas, the effects would be world-changing. - Bob Willard, Author and Founder, Sustainability Advantage Many business managers and owners want to the right thing, while also doing well.

It's such a radical departure from business as usual, that it requires a whole new approach to how to do business. But if applied well, the ideas in this book can help businesses be more successful - including financial success. Samantha Richardson takes this transformation and makes it manageable, practical and attainable. - Carl Friesen, Author of The Fame Game and Your Firm's Expertise Edge
