Future Planet team co-author sustainability handbook
The Customer Is The Planet is a handbook for sustainable business written by a collaboration of global business sustainability leaders and LinkedIn top voices from diverse fields, including Compliance, Enterprise, Activism, Human Rights, Law, and Biodiversity - and will be launched in Cork on Wednesday November 6 at 8.15am in the Republic of Work (Grow Room).
Co-authors Donal Daly, Ingrid De Doncker, and Orla Carolan - all of Future Planet - will be in attendance at the breakfast briefing, which is open to all to attend.
Why now? Business leaders need to understand European Sustainability Reporting Standards. This first book of its kind is designed to be read by non-experts, as an invaluable tool on their educational journey.
