How can organizations become a positive force to battle some of the world’s most pressing issues—including the climate crisis?
"If reducing carbon also cuts costs, boosts competitive advantage, improves financial performance, enhances employee satisfaction, and aids in recruiting and retention, why aren’t we progressing faster? What holds us back?"
"What we care about is advancing life around the world. This is our purpose. It affects every choice we make with respect to our assets; which businesses we will participate in and which we won’t participate in; and how we show up for our varied global stakeholders."
"If I were a CEO […] I would focus on the technologies, products, and innovations that would bring a competitive advantage for my company in a market that will go to zero emissions one way or another."
The energy transition presents a massive and complex challenge, and it’s moving too slowly. To accelerate progress, businesses and governments should adopt a systems approach.
Striving towards intergenerational leadership is key to overcoming challenges of our times, such as climate change, and unlocking competitive advantage by enhancing businesses’ capacity for renewal.
“Too often when we tackle the biggest subjects of our time, we get stuck in what I call the aspiration trap. (…) A big bet… is really an effort to embrace a big goal to find fresh innovative solutions that could help us actually solve those problems.”
