Teaming up with Andrew Winston, one of the world's most authoritative voices on corporate sustainability, Paul Polman shows business leaders how to take on humanity's greatest and most urgent challenges--climate change and inequality--and build a thriving business as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this candid and straight-talking handbook, Polman and Winston reveal the secrets of Unilever's success and pull back the curtain on some of the world's most powerful c-suites. \u003ci\u003eNet Positive\u003c\/i\u003e boldly argues that the companies of the future will profit by fixing the world's problems, not creating them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether the authors explode our most prevalent corporate myths: from the idea that business' only function is to maximise profits, to the naïve hope that Corporate Social Responsibility will save our species from disaster. These approaches, they argue, are destined for the graveyard. Instead, they show corporate leaders how to make their companies \"Net Positive\"--thriving by giving back more to the world than they take. Net Positive companies unleash innovation, build trust, attract the best people, thrill customers, and secure lasting success, all by helping create stronger, more inclusive societies and a healthier planet. Heal the world first, they argue, and you'll satisfy your investors as a result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith ambitious vision and compelling stories, \u003ci\u003eNet Positive\u003c\/i\u003e will teach you how to find the inner purpose and courage you need to embrace the only business model that will matter in the years ahead. You will learn how to lead others and unlock your company's soul, while setting and delivering big and aggressive goals, and taking responsibility for all of your company's impacts. You'll find out the secrets to partnering with others, including your competition and critics, to drive transformative change from which you will prosper. You'll build a company that serves your people, your customers, your communities, your shareholders--and your children and grandchildren will thank you for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs this win-win for business and humanity too good to be true? Don't believe it. The world's smartest CEOs are already taking their companies on the Net Positive journey and benefitting as a result.

He was the CEO of Unilever from 2009 to 2019, the first from outside the company in its century-plus history, and has been described by the \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e as a standout CEO of the past decade. He created a new framework for decision-making in the organization to focus the business on multiple stakeholders and long-term value creation, committing the company to doubling its sales while keeping its footprint flat, to touching one billion people, and to greatly improving the lives of suppliers around the world. Peers and experts have ranked Unilever as the most sustainable company—above long-standing, privately run leaders like Patagonia and IKEA—for eight years.
