The Boards Crucial role in driving Sustainability business transformation
The board has a crucial role in driving sustainability. IMD led by Professor Knut Haanaes has recently shared Board Sustainability toolkits relevant for boards, including
Toolkit 1 – How to make the business case for Sustainability Strategy – on why you need a business case and how to build it
Toolkit 2 – ESG is not Woke – and its different from Sustainability – ESG is an outside in risk management and investment framwork, sustainability is an inside-out focus of what impact the company has on society and planet.
Toolkit 3 – Reframing Sustainability from Risk to Opportunity – a too risk-focused mindset could prevent businesses from developing the ambitious strategies they need to capitalize on the opportunities of sustainability.
Toolkit 4 – The Crucial Role of the Board in driving Sustainabile Business Transformation – boards needs to expand their knowledge and expertise, add value through strategic reflection and finding the right governance model.
