SUSTAINX x Q5 Roundtable: Weathering the sustainability storm ahead

Weathering the sustainability storm ahead: The role of leaders in keeping sustainability at the top of the agenda.

H&Z

Is sustainability losing relevance?

While sustainability is still undoubtedly a hugely important topic, a number of recent surveys have found that it is slipping down the corporate agenda. The Harris Poll and sponsored by Google Cloudy found that ESG efforts fell from the number one priority for businesses to third in 2023, with external pressure, greenwashing, short-termism and failure to execute given as reasons for this drop, and 78% expected their budgets to decrease in the coming years.

Key Highlights

In our roundtable co-hosted with Q5, we dived into this conundrum - how can you maintain a clear focus on sustainability in your organisation while weathering these external and internal pressures?

With our panel of experts we discussed: 

  • How to balance sustainability with other priorities 
  • How leaders can build the trust and culture in their organisations needed to make progress 
  • How effective change management and communication is key 
  • The role sustainability managers can play and the mindset & behaviours needed to be a great sustainability leader
