Sustainability leaders have a crucial role in tackling ESG challenges and moving their organisations from ambition to action. Progressing from setting sustainability targets to embedding change across multiple functions takes judgement and experience to navigate. Balancing that transformation with commerciality while building trust takes a particularly rare set of human qualities.

Inspire, collaborate, communicate
“Successful businesses recognise that sustainability isn't an add-on to their strategy, but rather that it is a fundamental part, deeply embedded into their operations. Championing that culture change and flipping sustainability from a compliance play into a source of competitive advantage is a key part of the CSO’s role that should not be underestimated.”
