Corporation 2020 Book Information:

A hopeful vision for the role of business in shaping a more equitable, sustainable future! Selling Points: The book is very accessibly written and it tackles corporate greed among other things.A seriously inspiring and, ultimately, very hopeful piece of work. Edward Norton, film celebrity. It provides workable solutions to effect change in corporate behaviour. The Book:Business as usual isnt working. There is an emerging consensus that all is not well with todays market-centric economic model. Although it has delivered wealth over the last half-century and pulled millions out of poverty, it is recession-prone, leaves too many people unemployed, creates ecological scarcities and environmental risks and widens the gap between the rich and the poor. In Corporation 2020, Pavan Sukhdev lays out a sweeping new vision for tomorrows corporation: one that will increase human well being and social equity, decrease environmental risks and ecological losses and still generate profit. Sukhdev illustrates his vision with examples ranging from Infosyss creation of human capital to Citibanks having to change its project finance policy due to rainforest destruction. From its insightful look into the history of the corporation to the thoughtful discussion of the steps needed to craft a better corporate model, Corporation 2020 offers a hopeful vision for the role of business in shaping a more equitable, sustainable future. Quote:Much has recently been written about how a new wave of greencorporationsis just around the corner, an endogenously transformed phalanx of knights in shining armour just waiting to rescue us. Pavan Sukhdev says not so , but he also shows with consummate skill & clarity what exogenous changes can be made, to re-engineer thesocial contract between society and corporations in the 21st Century. Achim Steiner, UNEP head.
