Reviews

""Sustainability has a habit of reinventing itself without learning from its past. This book tackles that problem head on. By revisiting how the field has evolved, John Pabon makes a compelling case for pragmatic altruism as the foundation of credible, future-facing strategy. Strategic Sustainability is thoughtful, clear-eyed and deeply practical. It is exactly the kind of perspective business leaders need if they want to create impact without losing sight of reality."" * Charlie Martin, Founder and CEO, The Anti-Greenwash Charter *
