Sustainability is becoming a key board priority: But what does good governance really look like?
“You need people on the board that have a much more sensitive antenna on how the world is changing.”
In 2023, almost 90% of the world’s largest companies added sustainability to their board’s responsibilities – up from just over half in 2019. The figure, in a new report from The Sustainability Board, confirms what CSO Futures’ Chief Sustainability Officer interviews emphasise: sustainability is firmly becoming a business priority.
“More boards have adopted sustainability oversight as part of their current committees or dedicated a specialist committee to it,” said Frederik Otto, Executive Director of The Sustainability Board, publishing the report.
