ESG Business Value by Design

ESG shouldn't be a separate initiative. It should be part of how the business works.

ESG Business Value by Design offers a practical approach to integrating environmental, social, and governance principles into business strategy, procurement, operations, and everyday decision-making.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience across global supply chain, procurement, operations, Lean thinking, and sustainability, LeeAnne Scherer explores how organizations can move beyond treating ESG as primarily a reporting or compliance exercise-and instead use it to identify waste, address root causes, engage suppliers, manage risk, and create measurable business value.

Designed for executives, sustainability professionals, procurement and supply chain leaders, and anyone responsible for turning ESG commitments into action, this practical playbook explores how to:

• Connect sustainability objectives to business priorities
• Integrate ESG into procurement and operational decisions
• Engage suppliers and strengthen value-chain performance
• Identify opportunities for efficiency, resilience, and risk reduction
• Move from ESG reporting toward measurable business impact

Sustainability creates the greatest value when it isn't bolted onto the business-it is designed into it.
