In "Green Recovery" he outlines tactics and techniques how to arise from an economical downturn, making use of green and sustainable business strategies. Although, while I was reading the book, I sometimes thought that Winston sees it a bit black and white regarding becoming green being the only way out of a crisis I was very impressed by this book. This mix made the book a nice read apart from being an extremely valuable resource for everyone who tries to restructure an organization.
If you want to get a few tips and tricks on how to become greener and more successful at the same time, this book delivers you insights from years of experience.

Sustainability expert Andrew S. Winston explains why going "lean and green" can be the best move a business can make, in good times and bad. He details how firms can implement green initiatives to survive and thrive in today's new economic and environmental climate. And buy a copy for your CEO. Andrew Winston's new book, Green Recovery, comes in a small, green package, but it packs a big, relevant punch.
It is a must read for CEOs who still think going green will cost too much and for mid-level and senior managers responsible for identifying strategic sustainability initiatives to focus on. Like his public speaking style, Winston's writing voice is personable, authentic and engaging. Building on his previous book Green to Gold and his sustainability consulting experience, he presents a clear, green recovery framework that outlines four key paths to a leaner, greener world: Invest in energy efficiency, waste reduction and other quick-return strategies, and use the cost savings to fund innovation.
Gather data on your environmental footprint throughout the value chain, and use the data to identify priorities, encourage creativity and support employee engagement. Encourage staff to ask heretical questions and implement strategies to nurture innovation. Galvanize your staff by making a real commitment to sustainability, and encourage alignment with core business goals by linking performance to key metrics.

Winston advises that companies that follow this framework will, " Business case for going green: Winston does a great job making the business case for why going green is a vital business strategy, with specific examples that address six business drivers.
You might want to get a copy for your CEO, or other senior staff, if they are not fully on board yet. Yet, the framework will apply to smaller companies as well. If you integrate all four approaches, you will be addressing sustainability from an authentic and holistic perspective.
Yes, switching light bulbs will save you money, but if you stop there, you are not maximizing the business value sustainability can offer. Sometimes a relatively new book feels out of date by the time I read it. With Green Recovery, I had the opposite reaction. It almost seems as if the green wave he describes has grown even stronger since the book was written.
In the conclusion, Winston does a great job of weaving together how the four key components of the framework interact with each other. So, push the boundaries, ask heretical questions and create a culture of creativity where everyone is fully engaged.
Let's hope he is right!
