Net Positive

How Courageous Companies Thrive by Giving More than They Take

De: Paul Polman, Andrew Winston

Narrado por: Tom Parks, Paul Polman, Andrew Winston

Runaway climate change and gross inequality are ravaging the world. Who can help lead us to a better future? Business.

These and other massive challenges threaten our very existence on the planet. Yet division and discord risk undermining our response, just when we need to come together.

At this critical time in history, the imperative to reimagine our economies and companies could not be more urgent. Fortunately, many in the business community are helping to solve our most profound challenges, deploying long-term, purpose-led business models that put people and planet first. The key question has flipped from "Why would you do sustainability?" to "Why wouldn't you?"

In this paradigm-shifting book, former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainable business guru Andrew Winston provide a model to help leaders build companies that contribute more to the world than they use or take - that is, net positive companies.

Net Positive outlines the principles and practices for surviving and thriving based on the experience of one world-leading company, Unilever, and other groundbreaking global organizations. This essential book is for leaders, executives, managers, and professionals who want to succeed, but know that winning requires caring deeply about serving the world.

Life changing I sights and action programs

Bold and thoughtful insights grounded in actual experience to deal with existential issues facing humanity.

Approved by Harvard Business

Overall great read. I was not pleased with the last 10 minutes of the book. Too much opinion

Net Regenerative

Net Positive is an important read that disturbs with respect to its clear stand that our current capitalist system is unsustainable and leading us rapidly into self-destruction. Thankfully, the book mostly encourages with respect to the vital disruption net-positive business can make. Seems clear to me that net positive is a critical shift needed now, as we move rapidly into genuine nature-based regenerative systems that will not simply slow our demise, but that will heal our world and nurture all life.

inspired content

love the content, struggled with the narration. important message and research to inspire action.

One book to gain them all...

Net Positive is likely the most important book you can read for the new economy.

Sharing the stories and reasons behind the building of one the most admired corporation in the world the authors demonstrate again and again that making the right choice for the planet and the company's future is both never easy, but ultimately the only way forward.

Being "less bad" is not an option.

Inspiring, approach building, direct and encouraging the book in my view is the single best business book I have read to date.

If you are helping to change the world you will likely gain as much as I have I feel...

Enjoy.
