NET POSITIVE

In their new, critically acclaimed book, Net Positive, former Unilever CEO Paul Polman and sustainable business guru Andrew Winston explode fifty years of corporate dogma. Business, they say, can no longer focus solely on short-term profits or ignore humanity’s biggest challenges, like runaway climate change and rampant inequality. Courageous leaders are already building companies that improve the lives of everyone they touch and profit from solving the world’s problems, not from creating them. Net Positive lays out the principles and practices of next generation companies that deliver the scale of change and transformation the world desperately needs.

Net Positive turns courage and principled action into an electrifying strategy for business success. It’s powerful, persuasive, and unlike any other book you’ve ever read.”

 – Ken Frazier, Executive Chairman, Merck
