his supermarkets, he explains how you too can make genuine progress on
sustainable initiatives while being realistic about profit margins, and
obligations to customers and employees.

challenging, and encouraging book, offers clear-sighted experience and
inspiration for any business, whether a large corporation, a start-up, a
kitchen-table entrepreneur, or a sole trader, to make a difference.**
