Vincent Stanley Patagonia's Director of Philosophy with Yvon Chouinard founder and former owner of Patagonia draws on 50 years experience at Patagonia to challenge all business owners and leaders to rethink their businesses in a time of cultural and climate chaos. Patagonia over and over throughout the years has been recognized as much for its ground - breaking environmental social practices as for the quality of its clothes. And then in an unprecedented action in 2022, the Chouinard family gave their company away converting ownership to a simple structure of trusts and non - profits so that all the profits from the company can be used to protect our home planet and work to reverse climate chaos. In this exceptionally frank account Stanley with Chouinard recounts how the company and its culture gained the confidence by step and misstep to make its work progressively more responsible and to ultimately challenge other companies as big as Wal - Mart and as small as the corner bakery to do the same. In plain compelling prose the authors describe the current impact of manufacturing commerce and traditional capitalism on the planet's natural systems and human communities and how that impact is forcing business to change its ways. The Future of the Responsible Company shows companies how to reduce the harm they cause improve the quality of their business and provide the kind of meaningful work everyone seeks. It concludes with specific practical steps every business can undertake as well as advice on what to do in what order. This is the first book to show companies how to thread their way through economic sea change and slow the drift toward ecological bankruptcy. Its advice is simple but powerful: reduce your environmental footprint (and its skyrocketing cost) make legitimate products that last reclaim deep knowledge of your business and its supply chain to make the most of opportunities in the years to come and earn the trust you ll need by treating your workers customers and communities with respect. It also describes the threats of traditional capitalism and why the owners of Patagonia chose to hack the system to ensure that the company will still exist and have impact in 100 years. An explanation of Patagonia's revolutionary new business organization The Patagonia Purpose Trust and The Holdfast Collective rounds out this captivating business book.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Responsbile Company What We've Learned From Patagonia's First 50 Years\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Stanley Vincent\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Patagonia Books\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781952338113\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 192 Pages, Full-Color Photographs\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 9\/5\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Research \u0026amp; Development Management","brand":"Stanley Vincent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49626860749105,"sku":"IN-G-9781952338113","price":18.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781952338113.jpg?v=1724953823","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781952338113-the-responsbile-company-what-weve-learned-from-patagonias-first-50-years","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
