New Sustainability Advantage Worksheets
The New Sustainability Advantage outlines how smart sustainability strategies have contributed to financial gains for real companies. It describes how two typical companies could realize increased profits if were to simply use best practices that have worked well for other companies in seven benefit areas.
(Note that this is a company-level business case for embedding sustainability into business strategies. The business case for a sustainability-related project is covered by the Sustainability ROI Workbook.)
As a companion tool to the book, the New Sustainability Advantage Worksheets provide data profiles of the two sample generic companies as starter sets with which to initialize the worksheets. If you have data for a specific company, you can plug it into the worksheets and see the potential benefits from sustainability strategies for that company.
