Questioning the System We Are Trying to Sustain
Book Overview
The Sustainability Mirage
For more than half a century, governments, corporations, investors, and international institutions have pursued sustainable development.

The Sustainability Mirage asks a different question: what if the challenge lies not in the absence of effort, but within the incentives and structures of the system itself?

Pierre Courtemanche
Pierre Courtemanche spent more than four decades working inside the systems that global supply chains depend on — across Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. He helped governments, NGOs, investors, and multinational corporations address complex supply chain challenges in forest products, cocoa, palm oil, rare earths, and other globally traded commodities.
Founder of GeoTraceability (acquired 2018) and co-founder of 360platform, Pierre has spoken at international conferences on sustainability, responsible investment, and development. The Sustainability Mirage is his first book.
Full BiographyRecent Publications
In addition to his work in entrepreneurship, international development, and supply chain innovation, Pierre Courtemanche contributes regularly to public discussions on sustainability, economic systems, international trade, and global supply chains.
He is a frequent contributor to the Opinion section of Les Affaires, one of Canada's leading business publications, where he writes on topics including sustainability, critical minerals, supply chain resilience, digital product passports, trade policy, and the transition to a low-carbon economy.
His work has also been featured by the Wilson Center and the Forum for Atlantic Climate & Energy Talks (FACET), where he has explored issues ranging from responsible sourcing and international development to the overlooked carbon footprint of military activities and defence supply chains.
Through these publications, Pierre seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice, bringing a practitioner's perspective to some of the most pressing economic, environmental, and geopolitical questions of our time.
