<i>'We tend to celebrate family businesses for their dedication to their values and purpose. However, we cannot just assume that sustainable development strategies are in-built for family enterprises. They require vision and champions to have a real impact. Nothing is more inspiring than to see such strategies in action which is why you will thoroughly enjoy this book and its global case studies. It provides us with a much-needed foundation for this conversation both academically and practically.'</i>
