How to be a Chief Sustainability Officer: Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Organisation Paperback – June 9, 2024

When you read a review of a novel, sometimes you can see that the critics use the word “unputdownable”. This is my first, by far overwhelming impression. As much as it is a good structured, well thought through reading, the book is also very enjoyable. Nearly 300 pages full of captivating and making sustainability look so easy tips, suggestions, recommendations, simple steps and actions, would take a reader through a map on how to build, implement and maintain a successful sustainability strategy. Highly recommended reading for those who are interested in transition to sustainability.

This is a really useful, practical (the authors offer a "First 90 days checklist"!), actionable, and easy-to-read framework for CSOs and other professionals who want to excel in the corporate sustainability profession and industry. From the initial day in the position to realizing sustained success, the authors provide essential insights into what it takes to be an ambitious and purposeful CSO.

The book includes real-life experience transfer with excellent examples of how you introduce this positron into the novel and traditional Frameworks of an organization.

"How to Be a Chief Sustainability Officer" truly resonated with me. It offers practical strategies and real-world examples that demystify corporate sustainability. The expert advice feels like a personal mentorship, making it a must-read for anyone passionate about leading sustainable change in their organization.

"The Chief Sustainability Officer" is a practical guide for new or aspiring CSOs, bridging the gap between sustainability theory and the real world. As a professional not directly working in the field of sustainability, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of how sustainability can be integrated into any organization, offering insights into effective leadership and ethical decision-making. In our quickly changing world, this knowledge is beneficial to have across various industries and it will become increasingly more important with time. A truly valuable resource for CSOs, Board Members, and really anyone who cares about how their organization treats and integrates sustainability!
