For corporations, communities and other organizations, the choreography of the dance toward sustainability has been systematized by The Natural Step: a framework that provides the science, analysis, methodologies and tools to use in the quest for sustainability. Dancing with the Tiger presents the stories of individuals, teams and organizations learning about change and sustainability, and then acting on that learning. Case studies include some of the most successful companies and communities in North America:
– Nike: its struggles, victories and setbacks on the road to sustainability
– Starbucks: the tension of modeling corporate responsibility with alarming growth
– CH2MHill: its gradual evolution from environmental to sustainability engineering
– Whistler: grappling with the paradox of sustainability in a high profile resort town
– as well as Home Depot, Norm Thomson Outfitters, the municipalities of Seattle and Santa Monica, and others. .eText ISBN: 9781550922974
