Sustainability and climate change have become a megatrend and one of the most pressing concerns of the C-suite today. As such, this subject has compelled companies to show substantive steps in minimizing the risk of operational environmental impact. When companies pursue sustainability, it is usually to demonstrate that they are socially responsible (i.e., CSR). They expect that the endeavor will add to their costs, deliver no immediate financial benefits, and quite possibly erode their competitiveness.
Here at home, there is a growing sense of urgency about climate change since the Philippines has been named the most at-risk in the world for the third consecutive year based on exposure to natural disasters and societal capacity to respond (World Risk Index 2022 to 2024). WRI evaluates countries based on how populations are affected by hazards as well as flexibility, coping, and adaptation.
There is a silver lining, however, that provides optimism. The quest for sustainability can be a rich source of competitive advantage. It could unearth organizational and technological innovations that yield both top-line and bottom-line returns. That journey has already started to transform the competitive landscape, as companies redesign products, processes, and business models. By equating sustainability with innovation today, enterprises can lay the groundwork that will put them in the lead.
We shall learn how some leading institutions established their sustainability frameworks, how they measure performance, and how European companies have taken an aggressive posture toward climate change. Cooperative leadership—such as private and public sector collaboration—is vital, as the world’s problems are so immense that they are beyond the scope and ability of a single company to fix.
It is therefore imperative that businesses transform to become sustainable and—put bluntly—to survive. How should you, as a future leader, understand these issues and act upon them? How should you lead the process of change?
