Sustainable Business Leadership in 2030 Scenarios
This report explores the future of sustainable business leadership. It seeks to understand what a plausible future of sustainable business leadership will look like in 2030, including what factors will influence it.
Making sustainability a core business strategy is now commonly regarded as best practice. Indeed, there is robust evidence to suggest that companies that embrace a sustainability agenda or strategy are more likely to thrive in the long term. From increased long term returns for shareholders, lower risk, and greater connection with incoming generations of consumers, it is clear that adopting a sustainable business strategy generates value.
But who will lead the agenda on sustainable business? Who are the players that might drive it? What systems and pressures will influence their actions? With our latest report exploring scenarios of sustainable business leadership in 2030, we want to showcase different opportunities and risks that lie ahead for leaders. We aim to provide a projection of the upcoming decade’s ESG and sustainability narrative in an organisational context and prepare for future leadership challenges.
