Strategic integration of sustainability, accelerated by engaged and active owners
How can the value creation agenda be improved and accelerated through proactive owners and their engagement with the board?

In many cases, active and engaged owners ensure that their companies work with both the risks and the opportunities related to climate change, and other sustainability issues. A key success factor is stakeholder dialogue and engagement.
