How to Get Started Creating a Responsible Business
'It's Ganni's journey from cult Scandi favourite to a leader in the sustainability space' — Emily Chan, Vogue
This book is about what happened when a business leader decided not to bury his head in the sand about climate change; when he found the conversation with his kids about floods from melting ice caps too painful. This book asks what it means to force yourself to take a different business path, where the destination is a responsible and profit-making business.
In The GANNI Playbook, Nicolaj Reffstrup unveils the strategies that propelled GANNI to international stardom, while candidly unravelling the cultural, operational and creative components required to construct a business that embraces an uncertain future.
'GANNI offers a blueprint for how to embed sustainability from within' — Rachel Cernansky, Vogue Business
'What's the secret to sustainable success? There is no secret. GANNI is willing to share. In fact, it's doing exactly that' — Rose Dodd, Sleek
