Transition planning for transformation: Unlocking the CSO’s purpose
The regulatory obligation to disclose a transition plan is a chance to increase buy-in for business success in a climate-friendly world.
Climate transition plans are more than another sustainability reporting exercise: they are a holistic tool Chief Sustainability Officers can use to truly integrate sustainability targets into corporate planning – unlocking the long-term business transformation the world desperately needs.
While they are fast becoming a compliance requirement, transition plans should not be viewed as yet another reporting burden for the Chief Sustainability Officer. On the contrary, the regulatory obligation (under CSRD for example) to disclose a transition plan is an opportunity to engage all stakeholders and set the organisation up for success in a climate-friendly world.
