Why ESG Is Failing, What Comes Next, and How to Lead Through the Chaos
Sustainability is everywhere-but so is confusion, contradiction, and collapse. ESG promises purpose but delivers paperwork. Net zero pledges sound bold but often mean little. Greenwashing runs rampant while ecosystems and communities are pushed past the brink.
In Corporate Sustainability at a Crossroads, strategist and sustainability insider Dr. Deep Parekh dismantles the myths, exposes the compromises, and reveals the real stakes behind today's sustainability industry. This isn't a feel-good green manifesto or another checklist of best practices-it's a wake-up call for leaders, investors, and changemakers who are ready to stop playing defense and start reshaping the system.
Through sharp analysis, global case studies, and interviews from the front lines of business and policy, Parekh unpacks the ESG backlash, the rise of sustainability fatigue, and the urgent need for reinvention. He explores why well-meaning strategies are stalling, how governance is failing, and what it will really take to transform finance, supply chains, and leadership before it's too late.
Provocative, pragmatic, and unafraid to challenge sacred cows, Sustainability at a Crossroads is the definitive guide for anyone ready to cut through the noise-and help sustainability grow up.
