Ziel nachhaltig wirtschaftender Unternehmen ist es, nicht nur okonomischen, sondern auch sozialen und okologischen Mehrwert zu schaffen. Die in diesem Sinne international erfolgreichsten Unternehmen, darunter auch Siemens, sind im Dow Jones Sustainability Index gelistet. Dabei beschrankt sich Nachhaltigkeit heute nicht mehr allein auf «okologisch korrektes» Verhalten, sondern setzt ganzheitliches und vernetztes Denken voraus: Welchen Beitrag mussen Unternehmen fur eine funktionierende Gesellschaft heute und in Zukunft leisten? Welche schlussige Strategie sollten sie haben, um dauerhaft am Markt zu bestehen? Wie implementieren sie diese Strategie in die Unternehmensprozesse? Uta-Maria Pfeiffer beantwortet diese Fragen am Beispiel der Bahnindustrie und nachhaltiger Mobilitat. Damit bietet das Buch allen Verantwortlichen und ihren Mitarbeitern, die sich mit der Implementierung der Anforderungen von Nachhaltigkeit in Unternehmen beschaftigen, eine praxisorientierte Darstellung, wie sich die standig wachsenden Anforderungen in Bezug auf eine nachhaltige Mobilitat in ihre Geschaftsprozesse einbringen lassen. Umwelt-Unternehmensberater erhalten eine grundlegende Darstellung der Dimensionen von Nachhaltigkeit. Das Besondere an dem Buch ist die einfache Darstellung des komplexen Themas Nachhaltigkeit, das leider noch viel zu wenig umgesetzt wird, weil die Transparenz fehlt und oft kurzfristige wirtschaftliche Interessen unternehmerische Entscheidungen beeinflussen.
