 Green to Gold November 16, 2008
Compiles good examples of how several companies have changed their ways of doing business so as to survive and lead in an environment where the customers, shareholders and authorities have ever growing awareness of environmental issues.

Esty and Winston seem to be a perfect duo to write this book. Together they have a very strong and complementing background, ranging from experiences in academics and government to green and strategy consulting. The result is a book that has the right balance of theory and practice. While many books on green business only focus on the bright side, Esty & Winston are more realistic. They admit that not every business policy leads to win-win situations and describe the main fallacies, therewith making their book more "complete". The book is very easy to grasp through clear structures, concise business maps and numerous examples of S&P 100 firms. Furthermore, the latter ensures that you'll remind the book's message every time you'll order a cup of coffee at Starbucks or a meal at McDonald's.
The first 70% of the book is most interesting. After that, Esty and Winston start repeating concepts as well as business cases. Although the discussed cases are strong and helpful, Esty and Winston refer to the same companies over and over again, while forgetting about many other so called "WaveRiders". I'm wondering what the book would have been like if they had picked another set of front running firms to shed light on. They could probably fill a complete second book with it, so who knows..
Solid Book / Good Content May 26, 2008
I have revisited this book a number of times since I read it last year. It is a good resouce in understanding the benefits and dangers of going green.
Must read May 12, 2008
Excellent breakdown of the drivers for companies to go green. Also excellent analyses of strategies used by the corporate world to achieve their goals with green programs. Many examples of what worked and what didn't work.
Great reading!

This is a great book! The information presented is very useful. I have also heard both authors speak at conferences. They have a great message and convey it clearly.
