June 2012 - This book takes the reader on a journey around the world, sharing insights on the evolution of sustainable business from the Wayne Visser’s travels to over 65 countries in the past 20 years.
The path begins in Africa and winds its way through Asia, North America, Europe, Australasia and Latin America. Wayne shares what he has learned in encounters with mega-corporations and small farmers, and conversations with CEOs and social entrepreneurs. There are facts and figures about world trends, and interviews with thought leaders and activists. This is a tale that consciously weaves the personal and the professional, mixing anecdotes and case studies. It looks outwards and reflects inwards, and is both autobiography and the life story of a global movement. Among the thought-leaders that Wayne encounters along the way are Amory Lovins, Charles Handy, Jeffrey Sachs, John Elkington, Jonathan Porritt, Joseph Stiglitz, Muhammad Yunus, Simon Zadek and Stuart Hart.
