'Social Sustainability for Business' demonstrates the need for a transformational change to the way businesses across the globe operate. What has become the standard accepted 'business model' with a focus on corporate profit, shareholder wealth maximization, and GDP growth, is no longer a sustainable business model for workers, consumers, communities, society, the planet or any of its inhabitants and ecosystems. The authors argue that the current commercial system depletes natural resources, denigrates human rights, and inhibits positive social and technological innovation. To address these issues, they focus on societal goals - such as a sustainable planet, meeting human rights of workers, and safe products for consumers - and outline steps that organisations and individuals must take to achieve them.
