In this report, leading business thinkers from the private and academic sectors show what sets them apart as sustainability advocates and innovators by explaining how companies can place sustainability at the heart of organizational transformation and use ESG as a driver of change.
These Impact companies address challenges by rethinking and reimagining long-established business models, corporate culture and structure, and the role companies play in their extended ecosystem to be fit for the future.
For these companies, long-term ambition is underpinned by short-term progress. Leadership from the very top is essential. At the same time, employee expectations must be met. And such companies are bound to increasingly collaborate with stakeholders upstream and downstream, as well as on the policy side, to both accelerate their own progress and have a maximum impact across their business’s full value chain.
In these leaders’ view, there’s no longer a choice between sustainability and growth — the two go hand in hand. Increasingly, investors expect more than a vision of sustainability, they want to see clear actions and results on all ESG fronts to justify both future funding and risk mitigation.
In collaboration with CNBC Catalyst, Schneider Electric interviewed experts on how they have embedded sustainability as a core part of their business. The whitepaper contains real-world case studies and actionable advice from leading organizations, including Unilever, Vestas, Swire Properties, Schneider Electric and Wharton Business School.
