Process to Planet Sustainable Operations Management in Practice: A Practical Guide for Students, Managers, and Future Leaders

Process to Planet: Sustainable Operations Management in Practice is a practical and academically grounded guide that bridges the gap between operational excellence and sustainability. Designed for students, managers, educators, and future leaders, the book demonstrates how sustainability can be embedded into everyday operational decisions rather than treated as a separate strategic initiative. Through a structured progression from process design and supply chain management to circular operations, digital transformation, performance measurement, risk management, leadership, and governance, readers learn how operational choices influence economic, environmental, and social outcomes. The book introduces the Process to Planet Framework, a practical model that helps organizations connect operational performance with long-term sustainable value creation. Combining theory, real-world examples, practical activities, and managerial insights, this book provides readers with actionable tools to design more resilient, efficient, and responsible organizations in an increasingly complex and sustainability-driven world.
