Leadership for Sustainable Futures

In today's rapidly changing world, sustainability has emerged as a critical lens through which businesses evaluate their impact on the environment, society and the economy. The escalating polycrisis of rising global warming, depleted resources and unequal sharing of society's wealth has made organisations recognise the importance of embedding sustainability into their operations, irrespective of the industrial sector in which they operate.
Leading this change is the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO), whose role is to ensure that his or her company moves towards a sustainable future rather than taking a more risk-based approach, by changing its direction to one that sees opportunity rather than risks.
»Leadership for Sustainable Futures« is a collection of voices from leading European Chief Sustainability Officers and expert thought leaders. It is inspired by the Top 100 CSO Awards that are taking place each year at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The book aims to shine a light on the personal journey of the humans behind these leadership roles in large corporations and hopes to inspire more action and ambition towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
