Abstract

"Contributors analyze essentialism and the history of the concept of race, ideas of race in the work of 19th- and 20th-century psychologists, psychological discourse on topics such as "mixed-race" people, political uses of racial research, and international perspectives on psychology and race. They also examine the prominence and persistence of American research on racial differences in intelligence as well as the work of Kenneth Bancroft Clark and Horace Mann Bond in combating racism in science and society. This important volume increases readers' understanding of the link between racial studies and social attitudes in our time and, at the same time, provides a comprehensive examination of that link throughout history."--Jacket.

Abstract

Het is niet langer de vraag of grote bedrijven moeten verduurzamen, maar hoe ze dat gaan doen. Nu de zeespiegel blijft stijgen, de biodiversiteit afneemt en de sociale ongelijkheid toeneemt, kan ook het bedrijfsleven niet langer wegkijken of de verantwoordelijkheid bij de overheid blijven leggen. Het bedrijfsleven moet het heft in eigen handen nemen. Paul Polman en Andrew Winston beschrijven, voor het eerst, belangrijke ervaringen van Unilever en andere mondiaal ondernemende pioniers: dat het je bedrijf winst kan opleveren door de wereldproblemen te helpen oplossen in plaats van ze te veroorzaken. Bedrijven moeten netto positief worden: door meer aan de wereld te geven dan ervan te nemen. Dit is geen utopisch verzinsel. Er zijn al genoeg moedige leiders die dit bewerkstelligen. Met een duidelijke visie zet Netto positief de principes en praktijken uiteen die zullen bijdragen aan de veranderingen en transformaties die de wereld zo hard nodig heeft. Paul Polman was van 2009 tot 2019 CEO van Unilever, dat hij tot een van de duurzaamste bedrijven ter wereld wist te maken. Vanuit zijn sociale onderneming Imagine mobiliseert hij wereldwijd bedrijven rondom de duurzame ontwikkelingsdoelstellingen van de VN. Andrew Winston is een van de meest gelezen duurzaamheidsspecialisten ter wereld en auteur van bestsellers als Green to Gold en The Big Pivot.

Abstract

"Runaway climate change and persistent inequality are ravaging the world and humanity. Who can help lead us to a better future? Business. These massive dual challenges-and other profound shifts like pandemics, resource constraints, and shrinking biodiversity-threaten our very existence on the planet. Yet division and discord risk undermining our response, just when we need to come together. Global partnership and leadership are lacking, free trade and globalization are under attack, and populism continues to breed intolerance and disruption. At this critical time in history, the imperative to reimagine our economies and companies could not be more urgent. Fortunately, many in the business community-from large corporations to microenterprises-are helping to solve our most profound challenges by deploying long-term, purpose-led business models that put people and planet first. And they are profiting on this new path with new tools, AI and data-driven transparency, and radical improvements in the economics of clean technologies. The key question has flipped from "Why would you do sustainability?" to "Why wouldn't you?" In this paradigm-shifting book, former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainable-business guru Andrew Winston provide a model to help leaders build companies that contribute more to the world than they use or take-that is, net positive companies. They bypass the last gasps of denial to show how purpose and profits are inextricably linked and how collective action can deliver the scale of change and transformation the world needs. Net Positive outlines the principles and practices for surviving and thriving, based on the experience of one world-leading company, Unilever, and other groundbreaking global organizations. This essential book is for leaders, executives, managers, and professionals who want to succeed, but know that winning requires caring deeply about serving the world. Building a net positive company is the key, and this book shows the way

Abstract

"Two experts from Yale tackle the business wake-up-call du jour-environmental responsibility-from every angle in this thorough, earnest guidebook: pragmatically, passionately, financially and historically. Though "no company the authors know of is on a truly long-term sustainable course," Esty and Winston label the forward-thinking, green-friendly (or at least green-acquainted) companies WaveMakers and set out to assess honestly their path toward environmental responsibility, and its impact on a company?s bottom line, customers, suppliers and reputation. Following the evolution of business attitudes toward environmental concerns, Esty and Winston offer a series of fascinating plays by corporations such as Wal-Mart, GE and Chiquita (Banana), the bad guys who made good, and the good guys-watchdogs and industry associations, mostly-working behind the scenes. A vast number of topics huddle beneath the umbrella of threats to the earth, and many get a thorough analysis here: from global warming to electronic waste "take-back" legislation to subsidizing sustainable seafood. For the responsible business leader, this volume provides plenty of (organic) food for thought. "

Abstract

La 4è de couv. indique : " Une solution gagnant-gagnant pour les entreprises et l'humanité serait-elle trop belle pour être vraie ? Bien au contraire ! Les plus grands leaders ont déjà engagé leurs entreprises sur la voie du Net Positive et en tirent profit. Vous n'avez pas encore sauté le pas ? Comment l'entreprise peut-elle se détacher de l'obsession du profit à court terme et créer de la valeur porteuse de sens à long terme ? Comment dégager des bénéfices en résolvant les problèmes du monde et non pas en les générant ? La solution se trouve dans les cinq piliers de la démarche Net Positive : 1. Assumer les conséquences de ses actions ; 2. S'inscrire dans le temps long ; 3. Apporter du positif à toutes les parties prenantes ; 4. Faire de la valeur pour l'actionnaire un résultat plutôt qu'un objectif ; 5. Nouer des partenariats solides qui font évoluer le système. Paul Polman - ex-PDG d'Unilever qui a garanti un rendement accru à ses actionnaires tout en faisant de l'entreprise une référence du développement durable - et Andrew Winston - spécialiste des enjeux de durabilité en entreprise - prouvent par l'exemple qu'il est possible de prospérer en rendant le monde meilleur. Conçu comme un guide stratégique, cet ouvrage propose des solutions pour réaliser des économies d'échelle, renforcer l'efficacité opérationnelle, mettre l'Innovation au service de la croissance, ou encore créer une culture positive de l'émulation. Au fond, le seul voyage impossible n'est-il pas celui que l'on ne commence jamais ? N'attendez plus, rejoignez le mouvement planétaire Net Positive ! www.netpositive.world"
