Strategic Sustainability in Europe
Change is accelerating in every system.
We are living in times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, diversity and disruption – and it’s your job to lead your business within this whirlwind of change. You will probably find yourself in the following statements:
- Your stakeholders are increasingly more concerned about your impact, but eager to support you for the right cause
- The markets are either thriving or diving, but technological innovations accelerate anyway
- (Geo-)political relationships are increasingly tense, but new alliances are forged
- Accelerating air, water and soil pollution and decreases in biodiversity are alarming, but masses galvanize for change
- Societies are destabilized globally, but collective change for a higher purpose is already evolving
