Urgent, relevant and actionable, this is a book that anyone who does marketing needs to read and take action on.

As Marketers we need to question whether we are part of the problem and if we’re part of the problem, then we should be changing our objectives to become part of the solution. Our objective should be to help consumers engage in more sensible consumption. For those serious about driving a more sustainable future, this book offers Marketers a wealth of practical guidance.

It strikes me that this is a book which serves multiple audiences equally well: both a compelling “Why To” guide for those who need to be inspired and nudged towards taking sustainability action, and an effective “How To” guide for those who have already figured out their “Why”.

For Marketers who are already convinced of the importance of sustainability and who want help and advice on how to play their part in the transformation of their businesses and achievement of SDGs, this book acts as a highly actionable how-to guide – clarity on both strategic and tactical opportunities for making real and rapid progress for their business and for wider society. For these enlightened Marketers, this is a perfect desktop companion, and will become as well-thumbed as my Thesaurus was back in my early copywriting days! It’s the kind of book that should come with a pack of those post-it page markers, because people will want to mark up their copies for easily finding key chapters again and again.

For marketers who are less enlightened, reading this book cover to cover will help them understand the challenge and the opportunity sustainability brings them and their businesses, and enable them to find their “Why”. And once they’ve found their why, the book then provides them with a compendium of strategies and actions to help them discover their how.

An inspiring and practical tour de force, lighting the path to the future of the marketing profession. Essential reading for all Marketers.
