The New Nature of Business


The Path to Prosperity and Sustainability


André and his co-author Peter Vanham describe how companies should change their ways to have continued success in the future, and why their current standard modus operandi is not working for society or the planet.

They present a template for creating “sustainable prosperity” and offer case studies of companies that thrived by embracing change.

The book offers:

A first-hand account of global healthcare company Roche’s sustainability practice

Leadership lessons from
INSEAD, IKEA, Harley Davidson, and Holcim

Strategies for identifying the right metrics and targets to deliver on your purpose

André Hoffmann - Book: The New Nature of Business

History echoes through time,
and the lessons of pre-collapse empires resonate in our present.

I challenge any executive to read this book and return to their desk, unchanged. André makes a highly persuasive case for building companies which strive to make the world better and thrive as a result. Honest, hopeful, and human, [this book] will leave you thrilled at the possibilities offered by a new way of doing business.

This is an inspiring must-read. André takes us from his childhood in the wilds of Camargue, to the boardroom of his family company where he is confronted with what to do about past wrongs - environmental damage and corruption. It is a tale of the way moments of reckoning help humans build courage to do the right thing, and the kind of vision that can illuminate it.

Dean, INSEAD

A remarkable read, this book shares the inspiring journey of a family and a business that has fully embraced the critical importance of sustainability. With clarity, passion, and several compelling examples, it offers a powerful blueprint for any leader aiming to understand how to harmonize business success with sustainable, inclusive prosperity.

History echoes through time,
and the lessons of pre-collapse empires resonate in our present.
