The time has come for contemporary business leaders to address and correct these unsustainable habits once and for all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eClean: Lessons from Ecolab’s Century of Positive Impact\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors deliver an insightful and practical sustainability toolkit that can be applied to any organization to embed sustainable business practices into your corporate governance and operations DNA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the creation of a company-wide vision that encourages the adoption of sustainable systems to attracting the right people who will enable and improve upon existing sustainability measures, the book provides actionable techniques for business process improvement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt on two distinct but related frameworks, the book presents a set of tools that leaders can create and deploy to build a sustainable organization.

In \u003ci\u003eClean\u003c\/i\u003e, Tenuta and Godfrey tell the story of how Ecolab integrated business and sustainability long before it was popular to do so. And along the way, they demonstrate how the company has aligned environmental stewardship with financial outperformance, an enviable combination of values and value. It is a story that is as inspiring as it is instructional, a case study of what it takes to lead in today's warming and wobbly world.”\u003cbr\u003e--Joel Makower, Chairman and Co-founder, GreenBiz Group\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“This book presents a powerful framework and case for a ‘shift in mindset’ when tackling today’s sustainability challenges.

As a result of climate change and other threats, sustainability has become essential to the survival of every business. And society depends on the private sector achieving sustainability because of its global reach and scale. \u003cbr\u003e     Fortunately, \u003ci\u003eClean\u003c\/i\u003e provides concrete strategies for building a sustainable corporation.
