Description

The converging crises of climate change, a deadly global pandemic, worsening social and economic inequality, unchecked corruption and the devastating consequences of the war in Ukraine have caused unprecedented disruption and global transformation. UN Secretary-General António Guterres recently warned that, “halfway to the deadline for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we are leaving more than half the world behind.” This dramatic rise of interlinked global challenges is forcing business leaders to navigate new levels of uncertainty, propelling executives into broader leadership capacities both by business necessity and by rising societal expectations. Against this backdrop, how is the C-suite navigating these issues while keeping their sustainability commitments on track? Where does the responsibility for meeting these goals lie? And when and how are sustainability strategies integrated across functions and teams?
