Future Planet team co-author The Customer Is The Planet bestseller
A first-of-its-kind book, structured around the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) framework, has launched today.
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.
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.
