How can organizations become a positive force to battle some of the world’s most pressing issues—including the climate crisis?
To meet the goals of the Paris agreement, a major shift to non-fossil technologies is necessary. As demand for green materials is expected to surpass supply, companies that take a leading role in developing and marketing green offerings will likely benefit.
"Organizations need to understand that they cannot allow the standards and the reporting efforts to drive their strategy. It's the other way around."
"The sustainability dialogue is not just about the environment locally, it's become about the environment globally. People are starting to put value on doing [sustainability] right and that is going to drive another round of innovation."
Peter, Ron and Dave reflect on the challenges and opportunities that corporate boards and managers are presented with when establishing sustainability strategy.
"Sustainability isn't something to do because it gets a lot of attention right now. For us, it's a key differentiator, it is a strategic driver to where it is going to enhance our bottom line."
"To build trust with their stakeholders, companies now need to focus on the efficient implementation of their sustainability strategies. But steering an ESG strategy is not about sharing information. It's about sharing credible and verified data, coming from the field and form independent third parties."
