Introduction
A growing number of companies have begun the journey towards a more sustainable business. We see that companies that have embraced action on environmental, social, and governance issues are thriving and outpacing their competitors. Traditional corporate social responsibility no longer cuts it – Leaders must rethink what a business is and how it drives change in the world. The economics of business as usual will not favor them, society won’t accept them, and younger generations won’t work for them (Source: HBR: The Net Positive Manifesto)
“I usually say it demands leadership, not just management when we talk about diversity & Inclusion. The difference here is very important.”— Sara Louise Muhr, Professor, CBS
