Sanjay Sharma and Dita Sharma's book provides a very intriguing seminal contribution that helps to understand how family firms, from industrialized and developing countries, approach environmental sustainability. Family businesses represent the vast majority of firms around the globe both in terms of employees and economic output. Yet, most sustainability management research has ignored these firms, focusing instead on publicly traded companies from industrialized countries. Relying on rigorous in-depth case studies, this book proposes a comprehensive interdisciplinary framework identifying different drivers of greener business strategies. Their framework also shows that, given their greater longer-term orientation and values, family firms have a higher tendency to be greener than public firms. Overall, this is captivating book that will be of great interest to sustainability management scholars.' Jorge E.

This examination of environmental sustainability through the lens of the family business identifies factors that help family and non-family organizations address the dilemma of balancing short-term productivity, efficiency and profitability objectives, with innovating for long-term sustainable value creation. Exploring the case of the wine industry - an industry characterized by a variety of governance systems - Sanjay and Pramodita Sharma develop fresh insights into influences and drivers for proactive environmental strategies to address major global sustainability challenges. By doing so, the authors are able to demonstrate that family firms with a focus on trans-generational continuity of business, long temporal orientation, shared vision, faster decision-making processes, and the goal of preserving socio-emotional wealth are more likely to make patient long-term investments for innovations in products, services, processes and business models to address environmental sustainability challenges.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
