Adams K: Accountability Under Fire

Accountability Under Fire

How society is demanding more from business and what great leaders are doing about it

Plastic is omnipresent in our daily lives. But the companies that make it-petrochemical companies which are often subsidiaries of Big Oil like ExxonMobil and Dow Chemical-seem to be hiding in plain sight. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Through a mix of investigative deep dive and vivid character-driven storytelling, Plastic Inc for the first time tells the story of a vast, rapacious industry that, despite public opinion universally calling for less waste and fossil fuel emissions, is preparing to double and eventually triple plastic production by 2050. Award-winning journalist Beth Gardiner gives readers an up-close look at the plastic industry's relentless growth, its manipulation of culture and governments, its extraordinary profits, its toxic pollution and its pivotal role in exacerbating climate change. That for decades Big Oil's masterplan has been to grow plastics in the face of diminishing demand for fossil fuels in a post oil and gas world. Every chapter in Plastic Inc brings new revelations, including: How Big Oil invented the idea of recycling in order to produce more plastic, aware that recycling at scale would never work.How Big Oil created and funded litter campaigns in the 1970s to push responsibility onto the consumer, and away from the producersHow microplastics are becoming a huge public health crisisHow Big oil colludes with US lobby groups and ploughs huge resource into preventing even the smallest town-wide ban on plastic bags or take away containers. The stories in Plastic Inc will reframe for readers a problem many of us think we understand, but which has deeper roots and a more complex future than we can have possibly imagined.

Plastic is omnipresent in our daily lives. But despite our distress at using it everyday, we often feel powerless to escape it. Because for all the vivid coverage of where plastic ends up, there is remarkably little discussion of where it comes from. Through a shocking investigative deep dive and vivid character-driven storytelling, in Plastic Inc, Beth Gardner tells the story of a vast, rapacious industry hiding in plain sight. From the Gulf Coast of Texas to the rural towns of Indonesia, from the boardrooms to the rubbish dumps, Gardner lifts the rug on the petrochemical companies that make plastics, and reveals the disturbing truth of their origins. For decades Big Oil's masterplan has been to grow plastics in the face of diminishing demand for fossil fuels, and - despite public opinion's call to reduce waste - is preparing to double and eventually triple plastic production by 2050. Gardiner's expose gives readers an up-close look at how the plastics industry has bullied its way into our lives and the global economy. We learn that Big Oil invented the idea of recycling in order to produce more plastic. It funded litter campaigns in order to push responsibility for waste onto the consumer, and put huge resources into fighting plastic bag bans across the US. And with microplastics becoming a huge public health crisis, Big Oil has finally not only forced plastic into our lives but into our bodies too. Plastic Inc is an extraordinary exposé of an industry that will stop at nothing to propel its own greed.

Answers to the business paradox of focusing on serving society and still be prosperous The Caring Company: How Great Companies Do One Thing Better Than the Rest clearly shows how businesses can choose to serve the common good as #1 priority and still achieve higher performance. Rather than simply transacting with their customers, suppliers, and the local community, this book explains how companies who instead build unconditionally caring relationships with them are rewarded economically for doing so. Written in a lively narrative style and backed by research from history and economics to psychology and philosophy and by many case studies of contemporary companies that have successfully adopted this new business paradigm, this book also discusses: <ul> <li>Challenges in accepting and implementing a radically new business paradigm and ways to overcome them</li> <li>How to make employees willing to provide unconditional care to customers, suppliers, and the local community</li> <li>The origins of capitalistic enterprise, which have surprisingly been about more than just money and the future of capitalism remodeled around the caring companies</li> </ul> The Caring Company: How Great Companies Do One Thing Better Than the Rest is a timely, essential read for managers, executives, business leaders, and entrepreneurs seeking to align their heartset with their mindset and transform their businesses to serve society while achieving greater business success. By doing so, they will reshape the free-market economy for the better.

Corporate Reckoning

When you think about the tools at our disposal to address the ecological, social and biodiversity challenges we face today, accounting might not immediately come to mind. And yet it is accounting standards, not science and not public policy, that set out how profit is calculated, which in turn drives investment decisions. What if we demanded that those standards reflect the true cost of business and its consequences?Unless we look again at these fundamental principles, which have gone under the radar for so long, capital markets will continue to contribute to inequality, nature loss and climate change. What's remarkable is that we already have in place everything we need for a more just and complete approach to accounting, and forward-thinking businesses are beginning to recognize that.Jeremy Nicholls - accountant, sustainability professional, historian and activist - sets out a vision for new way of accounting, and it's one that we can adopt immediately.
