Cool Companies: How the best businesses boost profits and productivity by cutting greenhouse gas emissions
Joseph J Romm. Island Press, 2006
A great one for getting the business case across through lots of superb 'how to' examples showing companies cutting costs while reducing environmental impacts. Concentrates more on process rather than product. 

Simple Steps to Green Meetings and Events
Amy Spratisiano, Self Published
With an industry as "un-green" as the meetings industry some might say, why bother? Thousands of people fly across the world, stay in a single hotel room using towels and individually packed soaps, going to meetings where they are handed out tons of printouts and commercials, eat pre-packaged food and drink bottled water. But this is exactly the reason to bother. Lots of money could be saved when trying to rethink the conventional meeting scenario whilst protecting the environment without much effort.
