Sustainability in Transition: Moving From the Margin to the Core
A generation after the global dialogue on sustainability was launched, businesses are deeply involved in the challenge of how to address the emerging opportunities, risks, regulations and responsibilities that cluster under the “sustainability” umbrella. Most companies have accepted the business benefits of moving to “green” operations at some level – driven to reduce costs and satisfy customers. What is next? How are the most forward-thinking companies moving sustainability from the margin to the core of their business model and long term strategy? This two-part series will look at the impact of sustainability on business thinking, structure and strategy across the entire organization.
Audience:
Executives in leadership roles across a range of corporate functions, including strategy, risk management, governance, communication, human capital planning and operations.
