Pre-announcement of our next book “Sustainable Value Chain Management”

Our latest book project currently undergoes production at Springer. “Sustainable Value Chain Management” introduces a new management approach, which integrates multiple perspectives and drives sustainability ‘inside-out’ from the core business. Sustainability subsequently has to be considered in companies’ value chains and final products alike. The book finds a balance between theory and practice as contributions from various organisations and companies show how they approach sustainability in their respective value chain.

• shared.value.chain: Profitable growth through sustainable value creation
