The Seven Principles Playbook for Sustainable Companies: Purpose, Planetary Boundaries, and Durable Value Creation (en Inglés) - Arnaud Blandin

This book positions sustainability not as a compliance obligation, a cost, or a moral afterthought, but as a powerful lever for value creation.

As the cracks in the neoliberal growth model deepen, and under the accelerating collapse of natural ecosystems—a new paradigm is emerging.

The Seven Principles of Sustainability provides a framework for embedding sustainability into the structural DNA of businesses. Drawing on years of hands-on work with impact investors, entrepreneurs, auditors, legislators, private equity firms, and multinational executives, it distils what truly makes a company sustainable, not just on paper, but in practice.

Through real-world case studies, the book helps executives decipher sustainability across three essential lenses: ESG risk and compliance for investors, CSR and societal engagement for stakeholders, and ultimately, long-term value creation for all. It introduces the Sustainability Compass, a strategic diagnostic tool built on over 180 dimensions, offering actionable insights for leaders ready to move beyond reporting and into regeneration.

This is not another inspirational business book—it’s a guidebook for those who understand that the future of business depends on its ability to thrive within planetary boundaries and meet rising societal expectations. With clarity, rigor, and vision, it equips leaders to transform sustainability from a side project into a strategy.
