CSO Futures Sustainability Leaders Community Insider - August 14 summary notes

2025 revealed a role in transition: less about expansion and evangelism, more about endurance, integration, and strategic trade-offs.

This was a year in which circularity’s promise encountered its practical limits.

Measuring sustainability’s financial returns has become a core plank of strategic decision-making.

This year was defined less by acceleration than by consolidation, retrenchment, and political friction.

Resilience is now a core determinant of economic stability, business continuity, and social wellbeing.
