Sustainability leaders have a crucial role in tackling ESG challenges and moving their organisations from ambition to action. Progressing from setting sustainability targets to embedding change across multiple functions takes judgement and experience to navigate. Balancing that transformation with commerciality while building trust takes a particularly rare set of human qualities.

Inspire, collaborate, communicate
Sustainability impacts the whole organisation and must be central to the business strategy.
Hear the views of sustainability leaders, across a range of industries, and how they are driving progress that delivers both climate and commercial outcomes.
Convening to accelerate change
“The remit of CSOs has seen rapid change. Within many organisations it is still an emerging role evolving at pace, and there is no blueprint. That’s why we regularly convene sustainability leaders from across industries and sectors. By sharing knowledge and best practice we are aiming to help everyone move further, faster.”

Our 2024 actions for sustainability leaders
Be prepared to help your boards hold their nerve and continue to follow through on sustainability actions over the next year, as it is going to be bumpy. That’s the message to sustainability leaders from political and ESG experts, as they look ahead to what 2024 may hold.
“Successful businesses recognise that sustainability isn't an add-on to their strategy, but rather that it is a fundamental part, deeply embedded into their operations. Championing that culture change and flipping sustainability from a compliance play into a source of competitive advantage is a key part of the CSO’s role that should not be underestimated.”
Zubin Randeria
ESG Leader, PwC UK
“We all have a responsibility for sustainability, whether it’s in your job title or not. As business leaders we can be catalysts for change by empowering individuals across the organisation to take ownership of progress in their area. We need to take a holistic view, share our knowledge and truly understand the impact of our actions so that we can accelerate the change that is needed.”
Zelda Bentham
Group Head of Sustainability, Aviva
“Ensuring that sustainability is kept at the heart of the business is imperative and that’s why the role of sustainability really needs to sit at the board level. It needs to be represented as part of decision making, plugged into the finance from a profit and loss perspective on a more long-term basis around where investments need to be made for the benefit of the business in the future.”
