Learn how pioneering business leaders are resetting their companies' relationship to nature, society, and our common future
In The New Nature of Business: The Path to Prosperity and Sustainability, businessman Andre Hoffmann and journalist Peter Vanham describe how companies should change their ways to have continued success, and why the current modus operandi is not working. They present a template for creating 'sustainable prosperity', and case-studies of companies that survived and thrived by opting for change. In doing so, they provide a way out of long-standing dilemmas, such as how to balance business needs with impact on nature, shareholders with stakeholders, and short-term vs. long-term profits.
You'll find:

• A first-hand account of global healthcare company Roche's sustainability practice, as told by André (Roche's vice-chairman), chairman Severin Schwan, and several other senior management members
• Case-studies and lessons of organizations with visionary leaders, such as INSEAD, IKEA, Harley Davidson, and Holcim, all of whom have taken a holistic view of their role in the world, and succeeded in doing well while doing good
• Strategies for addressing the negative externalities and trade-offs that arise from doing business; identifying the right metrics and targets to deliver on your purpose; and accounting for human, social, and natural capital, alongside financial capital
• A must-read book for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers at companies around the world, The New Nature of Business, is also insightful and timely for those who advise or oversee companies and their leadership teams.

ANDRÉ HOFFMANN is co-chair of the World Economic Forum, the international organization for public-private cooperation, alongside Larry Fink. He is also the Co-Founder of InTent, an international platform that accelerates sustainable solutions, and the Vice Chair of Roche Holding, an international pharmaceutical company.

PETER VANHAM is a business journalist, researcher and author, who writes about the global economy and those who shape it. His previous books include Stakeholder Capitalism (written with Klaus Schwab) and Before I Was CEO.
