This book introduces the integrated management concept of Sustainable Value Creation, which delivers sustainability “inside-out” from the core business. It is based on the premise that sustainability can serve as a platform for growth when embedded in a company’s products, services, and supply chains—collectively referred to as the Value Chain. Managing the Value Chain from the outset with a sustainability mindset enables profitable economic, ecological, and societal growth.The book addresses key questions such as:How do economic, environmental, and societal factors impact a company’s value-creation process?What requirements and expectations must be met to balance economic, ecological, and societal value creation?What are the building blocks and measures that support the journey toward a sustainable value chain?What benefits can be achieved through sustainable value chains?What practical examples from leading companies can inspire others to follow?The second edition includes contributions from organizations and companies across various industries that have implemented sustainability, decarbonization, and circular economy concepts in their value chains—or that enable such implementation. It presents proven concepts and examples designed to help companies overcome internal barriers and move from idea to impact.Featured practical examples come from: AUDI, BASF, Basler & Hofmann, Fairphone, Henkel, Infineon, Independent Capital Management, Melles & Stein, Klenk & Hoursch, SAP, VAUDE, and VOLTFANG, among others.
