Since the pandemic, many businesses have gone under. Others are fighting to stay afloat. But some are thriving. Why is that? 'Rebuild' is a lift raft, a vital guide to how we reset and build back better. Retail and brand expert Mary Portas argues that - over the past thirty years - the business of what we buy has been dominated by the biggest, fastest and cheapest. But those values no longer resonate. We've come to realize that more doesn't equal better. Good business is now about putting people and planet before profit. Full of expert insight and invaluable advice, 'Rebuild' shows you how to reset the dial, reignite the passion and build back better.

When Salesforce chairman and CEO Benioff called for more regulation on the tech industry during the Davos World Economic Forum, and followed it up by saying Facebook should be regulated in 'the same way you regulated the cigarette industry', he found himself at the centre of a storm. This was not what people expected to hear from a hugely successful tech entrepreneur, and some industry leaders began calling him to say how he had betrayed them. But Benioff shows how he created a company committed to shared values in everything they do, creating a model for others to follow if they want to thrive in today's business environment, where criticism of corporate greed is bringing new pressures on industry. At Salesforce, the aim was to take decisions that were not only good for business, but also for society as a whole, and this book will show you how to make these positive steps.

In recent years we have been totally screwed over by the banks and other major corporations. The rich at the top have run off with everyone's money and now we're all furious and paying for it. But even worse, people have lost their trust in business as a force for good. John Browne, former CEO of BP, has teamed up with two experts from McKinsey to write a far-reaching and accessible book about how businesses must radically reconnect with communities, with people and with the environment to make the world a better place.

Dale Vince never intended to start a business. Driven by a passion for sustainability, he left school aged 15 and became a New Age traveller, living for free in a wind-powered double decker bus. But after building his first wind turbine, he realised that to change the world he needed to be on the grid, not off it. In 1996 he founded green energy company Ecotricity and changed the landscape of UK energy forever. In this book, he shares his single-minded and uniquely purpose-orientated approach to business.

In the UK, the majority of us now own shares in listed companies - whether that be through a stock and share ISA, a self-made investment or a work pension scheme. What few people know is that every share comes with a vote in company decisions, over everything from executive pay to corporate strategy. So far, though, only a very few of us get a say on how it is run. That needs to change - and can change. The technology exists to allow us to vote with our shares - all we need to do is learn how to use it. In this book, Merryn Somerset Webb takes us deep into the world of corporate capitalism - from the privatisation of state-owned companies in the 1980s to the financial crash of 2008 and the growth of the modern multinational - to show us how capitalism went wrong and how, with 10 simple recommendations, every one of us now has the power to make it work for us.
