Sustainability leaders have a chance to act “while the clay is soft” on compliance
This transition period is a unique opportunity for CSOs to get buy-in... if they have enough recognition within their company.
Chief Sustainability Officers should use looming climate disclosure requirements as a way to engage stakeholders across the C-Suite and embed sustainability more deeply into operations, according to seasoned sustainability leaders.
Upcoming compliance obligations are a great way to spark people’s interest in the topic “while the clay is soft”, according to Harry Broadman, a non-executive director and White House veteran now driving sustainability initiatives on several boards. He believes that CSOs should increasingly be playing the role of “integrator in chief”: bringing everyone together around the disclosure process and operational sustainability as pressure from regulators and investors mounts.
