This Living Fieldbook website provides free online resources to supplement and update “The Sustainable Enterprise Fieldbook: Building New Bridges” 2nd edition (2019), and is co-created by its authors: William G. Russell, Linda M. Kelley, David Lipsky, and Jeana Wirtenberg, featured below, along with Nalini Kumaran who has generously donated her time to build and maintain the website. Collectively, we are committed to continually highlight and curate the most current substantive information available throughout the website. We hope you are able to delve deeper to gain in-depth understanding and insights into the issues, practices, and policies affecting people, organizations, and businesses around the globe, and ultimately determining the future of humanity.
In particular, pursuant to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to announce that we have added a new section: “Building New Bridges to the Future”. The future of work, the state of the environment and the social landscape are all undergoing dramatic changes, and we are committed to helping everyone “build back better.” In this context, we have once again embarked on a journey to provide you with carefully selected articles, blogs, and webinars to enable you to join us to participate in the process of building these bridges at a personal, local/organizational, and global level.

The authors have crafted a rich read with hundreds of case studies and perspectives ranging from Pope Francis to the animal kingdom to Mark Twain. There are countless books about the future of sustainable business, but none stitch together the historical wisdom, activation methods and story-telling like The Sustainable Enterprise Fieldbook.”
