About this listen
What do Brazil's top beauty brand, America's second-fastest-growing restaurant chain, and the world's third best-selling car have in common? They are shattering the myth that acting sustainably and building a billion-dollar business are mutually exclusive. Green Giants examines nine companies that are merging social responsibility with wild profitability - and reveals the six factors responsible for their success, including: iconoclastic leadership fueled by deep conviction and a rebellious streak; disruptive innovation that uses sustain ability to spur the development of radically better products and services; and a higher purpose that ignites the company - when the mission leads, profits follow.
Mainstream appeal with positioning and packaging stripped of the crunchy cliches that alienate the average customer: This new breed of billion-dollar business proves it's possible to achieve enormous success while implementing sustainable principles that help consumers live better lives. Ranging from start-ups to business lines incubated within major multi nationals, these companies collectively represent over $60 billion in revenue. What's more, many command wider profit margins and are growing faster than their conventional counterparts. Packed with eye-opening research, exclusive interviews, and enlightening examples from Chipotle, Toyota, Unilever, Tesla, General Electric, and more, Green Giants serves as a blueprint for sustainable success that anyone can follow.

Interesting but narration makes hard to listen to
The content was interesting, possibly a little too focused on Unilever but interesting to learn about big corporations take on green.
Narration tempo was really off-putting for me, I could only take 30mins at a time. Narration was fast with pauses in places you wouldn't expect so quite disorientating.

Great content but, the audio leaves me wanting more.
Very good content, anyone who has an interest in sustainability, circular economics and sustainable business should definitely listen to it.
I do not like the voice of the author and/or the audio quality. It sounds very annoying and automated.

Robot narrator!
Decent piece of reference text spoilt by the narrator sounding like a robot! Well researched and referenced examples, good if you are already in the sustainability sector and need to widen your subject matter knowledge.

Really difficult to focus on the book.
I found the narration really distracting. Sounded like a robot and with odd upward inflections at inappropriate points. I had been looking forward to this book but will have to wait until I have the time to read it as the audio is terrible Such a shame.

Really good content but read by a robot
The content of the book is really good. Very helpful for small start ups looking to grow.
The only problem I found was that the book was read by a robot.
