model where high profits are king.\u00a0 The business imperatives behind this are likely as not well known to readers of this blog: that regulation will continue to tighten and that properly implemented green policies are often, in fact, cheaper than current practices.<\/p>\n<p>However, the book also tackles those areas which other books tend to shy away from.\u00a0 This includes the sticky area of ethics and also the manifest risks businesses make by nailing their green colours to their commercial mast.\u00a0 These are both areas executives need to understand fully and yet they are rarely as well thought through as (say) green marketing initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>The book also puts the case for green business in the global context very neatly.\u00a0 At the heart of this is the need to recognise that we all interact with one another on a truly global scale.\u00a0 This may seem obvious but it&#8217;s because we&#8217;ve ignored this interconnectedness that such huge problems such as climate change and cumulative persistent toxicity have come about.<\/p>\n<p>So being a green executive is all about thining globally as well as locally, thinking environmentally and socially as well as commercially.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>&#8230; to introducing that change, even in a subversive way<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s very interesting to note how Gareth Kane approaches the issue of ethics, as mentioned above.\u00a0 Effectively he&#8217;s describing someone whose conviction is that business should be run along green lines, rather than a businessman who hears about this new &#8220;green&#8221; thing and wonders if they can exploit it.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the next two sections, introducing the practical changes which can make a business more sustainable and how these changes can be put into action, are so very important.<\/p>\n<p>These sections don&#8217;t just outline in simple and practical language how to go about greening a supply chain or introducing environmental management systems.\u00a0 They also look at how to do this within an existing business context where there may be resistance to going green.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Gareth Kane cites the martial art of jujitsu and talks about &#8220;green jujitsu&#8221; &#8230; the art of using a business opponent&#8217;s strength against themself.\u00a0 He also draws a clear line between managers and leaders.\u00a0 Managers imitate and rely on control, leaders innovate and inspire trust.<\/p>\n<p>The message is simple and exact.\u00a0 Green businessmen, even those at the top of their organisations, have to be prepared to fight for the transformation they want to see in the business.\u00a0 They have to be leaders, not managers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Green Executive of 2012<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For a number of reasons I had my head down for most of the second half of 2011 and didn&#8217;t really pay much attention to what was going on in the rest of the world.\u00a0 Emerging as I am now from this self imposed state I find a lot of business sustainability types are rather gloomy about 2012.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not entirely sure why this is, though perhaps the continuing scarcity of finance means green budgets and programmes are being slashed left, right and centre.<\/p>\n<p>However I&#8217;ve long seen 2012 as being a difficult year, but for a different reason.\u00a0 Until now sustainability has happened because of the exuberance of a few high profile business leaders and the fact it has brought a host of cost savings to the business-as-usual model.<\/p>\n<p>This, however, is the year when it will start to get properly meaningful and sustainability will start to be seen as a the new business model that it truly.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, this is when it starts to get hard, and I can think of no better handbook for a Green Executive or aspiring green business leader to have to hand than this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Normally you would expect a book review to come at or around the time of a book&#8217;s publication.\u00a0 That was my most sincere intention when The Green Executive&#8217;s author, Gareth Kane of Terra Infirma, sent me a pre publication PDF back in May 2011.
