Sustainable Sustainability REVIEW! #1500

Name of the book – Sustainable Sustainability: Why ESG is Not Enough

Name of the author – Rajeev Peshawaria

Amidst calls for a more inclusive capitalism, we find ourselves grappling with the very tools that fueled its excesses. Adam Smith’s profit maximization doctrine and Milton Friedman’s “sole responsibility of business to maximize profits” mantra have shaped modern economic thought. Yet, these incentives and regulations, intended to safeguard societal interests, often yield unintended consequences. Despite efforts to promote sustainability through frameworks like ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), we witness rampant greenwashing and box-ticking. To tackle today’s challenges, we must pivot towards a values-driven revolution, embodied in steward leadership. 

Everyone may relate to the book since it raises awareness of the issues that are frequently missed in conversations surrounded by business jargon. “Sustainable Sustainability” provides a useful road map for companies looking to balance profit and purpose in a world getting more complicated by the day. The author highlights the necessity of ESL in guaranteeing sustainable sustainability through these varied examples. The book emphasizes the value of steward leadership, which prioritizes the welfare of society and the environment over benefit amplification.

This book serves as a manual for all ardent leaders who think that doing great things leads to great things. The author’s thorough research and background in the corporate sector provided a novel viewpoint on topics that are frequently seen from a single angle. This book is an honest effort to encourage and awaken the leader that every one of us possesses. All in all, it was a worthwhile book that helped me think strategically about how to make changes in my environment.
