It links sustainability to the core areas of culture and strategy. It guides the reader through seven technical areas that make up the full sustainability role. It covers execution, building your team and leveraging technology. Finally, it looks to the future of this rapidly evolving area.This book distils over two decades of sustainability theory and 30 years of combined management experience into a hands-on, comprehensive guide for CSOs. It also serves as an important reference for Boards, Committees, and leaders who are ready to embrace the sustainability transition and position their organisations for long-term, ethically-driven success.CHECK OUT JENNIFER'S NEW PODCAST - THE C-SUITE FRAMEWORK - AVAILABLE HEREhttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-c-suite-framework/id1777996451?i=1000675913654 OR WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS.Read more
