About the book
Join renowned business leader and sustainability champion André Hoffmann, Vice-Chairman of Roche and Co-Chair of the World Economic Forum Board of Trustees, as he launches his new book on building a more sustainable and inclusive future at a special event alongside the Global Tipping Points Conference 2026
Learn how pioneering business leaders are resetting their companies' relationship to nature, society, and our common future
In The New Nature of Business: The Path to Prosperity and Sustainability, businessman André Hoffmann and journalist Peter Vanham describe how companies should change their ways to have continued success, and why the current modus operandi is not working. They present a template for creating “sustainable prosperity”, and case-studies of companies that survived and thrived by opting for change. In doing so, they provide a way out of long-standing dilemmas, such as how to balance business needs with impact on nature, shareholders with stakeholders, and short-term vs. long-term profits.
A must-read book for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers at companies around the world, The New Nature of Business, is also insightful and timely for those who advise or oversee companies and their leadership teams.
“History echoes through time, and the lessons of pre-collapse empires resonate in our present.”
