The ESG and Sustainability Deskbook for Business:

A Guide to Policy, Regulation, and Practice

By Kristyn Noeth

The book is a practical tool and reference guide for global business practices in sustainability.  It is intended for a wide audience and covers the primary principles, policies, practices, and players in the marketplace.  The interest in sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) from stakeholders across all sectors is growing and will continue to do so as we are in the most pivotal decade for meeting the global goals on climate change and sustainable development.  The book provides a comprehensive overview of the international agreements, regulatory advancements, and current practicum to inform a 360-degree viewpoint of the organizations, frameworks, and stakeholders that shape the evolving landscape—and threads the needle with best practices, case studies, and takeaways to illustrate the applications and to enhance understanding. 

The ESG and Sustainability Deskbook for Business has been well-received around the globe and is available at booksellers worldwide. Read the advance reviews and view order links.

    —Kristyn Noeth, American Lawyer

  • “The United Nations reports we are at a global pivot point on climate change and that any further delay will miss a rapidly closing window to secure a livable future. This is the most critical decade for climate solutions.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, Advancements

    —Krisyn Noeth, Bloomberg

    —Kristyn Noeth, ESG in the Boardroom Podcast

  • “Global climate change continues to be one of the most pressing issues of our time as we have not yet made significant progress to halt the planet’s warming temperature.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, Advancements

  • “Working on the societal and public policy issues and being able to have impact both on the global issues we face, such as climate, as well as having local impact on communities is what gives me purpose."

    —Kristyn Noeth, Law360

  • “ESG factors are important to the longterm value of a company.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, ESG in the Boardroom Podcast

  • “An annual board refresh is a good time to assess the oversight of ESG issues and the committee structure and alignment.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, ESG in the Boardroom Podcast

  • “Two new laws – the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act – infuse an estimated $479B into vital climate initiatives. That’s a gamechanger.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, Advancements

  • “We see this consistently now in the big public companies – there is a responsible corporate officer for ESG who reports to the board regularly.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, ESG in the Boardroom Podcast

  • “While many renewable technologies have been around for decades, the ability to scale those technologies and bring them to market was restricted by relative costs, infrastructure limitations and regulatory hurdles. The good news is that many of those technologies are becoming more commercially viable.”

    —Kristyn Noeth, Advancements

  • “It’s such an interesting time for me as a practitioner in this space and having been in the space for a long time, to see so many companies in the private sector really leading the way and wanting to be market leaders on ESG issues.”
