Glenn Frommer og Theodora Thunder Rebel Sustainability Tools and Tactics for Frontline Managers

It is widely recognised by management across all industries that without the people competencies and collaboration at the last quarter mile of the corporate ESG strategy pipeline, achieving sustainability goals is moot. In a bold move, Rebel Sustainability presents a 'grassroots' movement purposed to shift sustainability thinking and leadership to this operating frontline, in particular, to millennials and Gen Z managers who deal with ESG challenges as a daily diet. The book consciously speaks to the shift in how work gets done in today's complex business environments. It transforms the characteristic baptism by fire in management training into purpose driven methodologies that empower disciplined decision-making, navigates the value, efficacy and consequences of corporate guardrails, manages the data juggernaut, mitigates the ripple effects of unexpected external disruptions and, of course, supports adaptation to the impact of climate change. The book provides a strong portfolio of working tools and skills that open the doors to how to reframe and retool workplace challenges using tactical thinking, self-agency and generational values to transform the corporate culture and narrative. Risk, engagement, systems thinking, materiality and data management are the core subject matter. Discussions further illustrate application of these tools in an energy retrofit case study then guide how to translate the operational outcomes and learnings into a cohesive company story that gives context, credibility and life to annual corporate disclosures. 'Rebel Sustainability brilliantly connects the dots between purpose and performance. It explains how to lead from the middle, navigate ESG complexities, and turn material risks into powerful sustainability advantage opportunities for any organisation.' -Bob Willard, Founder and Chief Sustainability Champion, Sustainability Advantage 'Rebel Sustainability suggests ways forward for leaders determined to make real change happen.' -John Elkington, 'Godfather of Sustainability' and founder and Global Ambassador at Volans
