Editorial Reviews
Review
This book provides a strong case and a clear path to combine the discipline of good business with the moral responsibility of sustainable practices. The clarity of the information and pathways will be useful for beginners, while the strong reference list will be of great value to those with more experience. The comprehensive coverage of the topic is thoughtfully divided, and the well-structred sections make it both a font of information and a practical guide to take action.

In a world that often mistakes growth for progress, Dr. Ritika Mahajan reminds us that true success is measured not only by profit, but by the legacy we leave for the planet and its people. This book is a compass for those who dare to lead with purpose.

The book provides a holistic understanding of business sustainability, addressing cross-cutting dilemmas, including ethical ones. Rich in examples from the Indian context, the book draws parallels between the cosmocentric and anthropocentric approaches in business. The sustainability spectrum is a novel contribution that provides a pathway for businesses to transition toward sustainability. Ritika handholds the readers from the beginning and encourages them to rethink their perceptions of business and sustainability. The book further presents plausible cases that enable reflection on tailored approaches for different forms of organizations.
