The Corporate Revolutionary - Mervyn King

'You cannot separate the economy from the planet, or from people.' - MERVYN KING

Mervyn King, known as the guru of corporate governance and sustainability, has transformed the global business landscape. With his belief that 'accountants can save the planet', King advocated reporting on society and the environment, not only on profit. From challenging the primacy of the shareholder - a radical departure from convention - to pioneering integrated reporting, King's legacy transcends borders and continues to guide companies worldwide. His journey was enriched by his experience as a commercial lawyer; by his work as an advocate and a judge; and by his stellar career as a businessman, chair and director of many organisations including the Kirsh Trading Group, Frame, FNB Merchant Bank, Operation Hunger, South African Chamber of Business, Automobile Association of South Africa, the Global Reporting Initiative in Amsterdam, the International Integrated Reporting Council in London, Brait Societe Anonyme in Luxembourg, and more.

In this authorised biography, best-selling author DAVID WILLIAMS recounts the extraordinary life story of a South African visionary.
