“There is no contradiction between going more sustainable and having a thriving business.”
That’s according to Dr. Uwe Schulte, Leader of the Global Sustainability Centre at The Conference Board. This week, Uwe joined President and CEO Steve Odland on a new episode of CEO Perspectives to discuss sustainability: how the issue’s evolving, the challenges it presents to business, how companies can leverage the opportunities, and more.
As Uwe discusses, there’s growing consensus about the importance of sustainability efforts. A range of stakeholders are increasingly calling on businesses to evaluate and address their impact on the environment and society.
Tune in to this podcast for insights on:
The lay of the land: What is the current status of efforts to address sustainability?
Top concerns for businesses: What do consumers and other stakeholders want? And how can businesses meet those needs while staying competitive?
The business case: Why should businesses prioritize sustainability, and what steps can they take to improve their footprint?
The plastics problem: How much plastic do we produce, where is it going, and what should businesses be doing?
The climate crisis: How should businesses approach their role in addressing global warming?
