| book description |

Engineers have applied science to land people on the moon, design the cars we drive, and cram the power of a 20th-century supercomputer into the phones we carry. But what can happen when engineeringâ€™s systemic problem-solving skills are applied to improving the sustainability of business? This book stands on the shoulders of sustainability engineering insights to supplement business, engineering, and environmental curricula with tools necessary to effectively and efficiently improve the sustainability of organizations. Cutting through the clutter of terminology and approaches, this book uses case studies to outline a proven path to profitably secure â€œnet zeroâ€ for facilities and their supply chains. And rather than stopping at the uninspiring target of â€œdoing no harm,â€ it further empowers businesses and other organizations to create additional economic, environmental, and social benefits. This book: Offers numerous case studies from the Space Shuttle through the worldâ€™s first carbon neutral major food company to appropriate technology for safe water in developing countries to illustrate how to reduce environmental footprints while increasing profit margin and business value Explores redemptive entrepreneurship through the lens of the authorâ€™s founding of an award-winning engineering firm Presents strategies to strengthen the curricula of engineering, business, accounting, and procurement programs by uncovering significant sources of untapped value in conventional teaching
