Biography

Moody-Stuart, Mark

"Makes for intriguing reading … mostly because its author has been instrumental in framing how corporate responsibility is understood … "One of the biggest risks faced by companies is that everyone starts thinking the same," Moody-Stuart concludes. His book marks a valiant attempt to avoid that trap. The conclusions won't re-write the rules of corporate capitalism – nor will they remove the risk of more anni horribiles in the future. But, if the book persuades his fellow corporate insiders to look outside their shells, then it should edge forward the debate." - Oliver Balch, Guardian Sustainable Business

"It is hard to imagine a better guide… by raising the is­sues, and with a perspective based on experience, Moody-Stuart’s book provides an invaluable source of wisdom on how to grapple with them." - Financial Times - Ed Crooks

"Makes for intriguing reading … mostly because its author has been instrumental in framing how corporate responsibility is understood …" - Oliver Balch, Guardian Sustainable Business

"... the most meaningful and revealing insights on sustainability ever written by a corporate executive." - Crosslands Bulletin
