Transitioning from 'Resources' to 'Human Capital'. Placing 'people first' as the bedrock for sustainable growth.
Evolving from 'Management' to 'Inspiration'. Shifting focus from extrinsic motivators (financial rewards and working conditions) to intrinsic team dynamics, organizational reputation, alignment with individual purpose, and control over one's destiny.
Moving from a 'Corporate' to an 'Employer Brand'. Shifting from short-term gains to long-term results.
From 'Smart' to 'Wise Leadership'. Ethical, sustainable, and responsible by embedding ESG criteria into practice.
Since the financial crisis and the launch of the smartphone, a new generation of digital companies has emerged and split the business landscape.

But now there’s a brand-new gameboard, with new players playing by 21st century rules and technologies.
How can companies benefit from the sustainability transition, even without knowing how to get there? How much support do CEOs need from their board to create change?

Beyond international and government efforts, it will take individuals but especially businesses to step up in order to ´move the needle´ on sustainability and ESG.
