"An informative and valuable book for all those
interested in translating sustainability into effective business
practice." - Sir Ronald Cohen, Co founder Apax
Partners, and Chairman of the British Venture Capital
Association"At Waze we believe that we must act as one
community and take responsibility for our actions. By reading this
book one can better understand the technological challenges and
opportunities in promoting sustainability. This is critical
information for decision-makers, allowing us to make better
informed decisions and be more responsible in our actions."
- Samuel Keret, Director, Waze
Carpool"Ivri is one of the most important voices on
sustainability and corporate responsibility in our global
organisation. As I would have anticipated, Ivri's book has made
complex issues accessible, while demonstrating his passion and
authentic desire for change." - Paul English, Global
Leadership Team, Grant Thornton"Time and again we are
reminded that "we cannot control the direction of the wind, but can
only adjust the sails". Sustainability and Corporate responsibility
are ultimately about doing the right thing, and for CEOs like
myself that means that we must be innovative, leveraging new
technologies and processes to deliver value, while living up to
that standard. Ivri Verbin delivers an optimistic view that this
vision is not only viable and essential, but also
possible." - Raviv Zoller, President & CEO of ICL, a
leading global fertilizer and specialty chemicals
company"In this short, readable book, Ivri Verbin
offers easy-to-follow and practical advice for any organisation to
change their relationship with and impact on the world. From
mindset and policy to clear actions, he covers every aspect of this
complex topic simply and gives great examples of how others have
succeeded." - Peter Bodin, Global CEO, Grant Thornton
International Limited"The world is at a crossroads -
on our climate, inequality, global health. It really could go
either way. Those companies and leaders that practice Ivri's well
thought out & evidenced approach to business will help the world to
beat these crises, not be the driver of them. If you have the
vision to believe, read this book." - Giles Gibbons,
Founder, Good Business"Ivri Verbin's publication is
very timely. His point of view, based on his extensive experience
working with Israeli corporations as well as governmental agencies,
is of great significance in learning of the role that Israel is
playing in this field. A role that will no doubt continue to expand
as the Start-up Nation seeks ways to become a Social Innovation
Nation." - Momo Mahadav, CEO, Maala - Business for
Social Responsibility in Israel
"This book combines a very sound theory with a practical
guide for the successful corporation of our times, one that
acknowledges the broad social and environmental role of businesses
have to play. The deep knowledge and experience of the writer
combined with his social sensitivity provides us with a great read,
and a particularly useful and necessary compass in navigating the
complex waters of the corporate world in this digital era. A
stellar and truly needed book." - Ambassador
Konstantinos Bikas"Ivri's book emphasizes and
demonstrates to the investment community that financial success can
and should help companies achieve a positive impact. In the time of
the new economy and digital era, creating a positive impact is
crucial for companies to reach financial success. Therefore, I
think it is important for any manager or entrepreneur to read this
book." - Hemmy Peres, President of Pitango Venture
Capital "I could not agree more with Ivri's words and,
therefore, think that any manager in the present or the future that
is passionate about yielding a profit for its shareholders must
read his book. Moving forward, all managers must take this message
to heart and remember that shareholder profit is consistent with
corporate responsibility." - Amos Shapira, former
President of Elal Airline
