How can we activate our organizations to achieve sustainability goals effectively? This is a pivotal part of the climate transition, requiring us to rewire our companies' ways of working by leveraging existing systems, processes, and culture. Embedding sustainability throughout the organization is essential for driving corporate climate action and leveraging opportunities for innovation and growth.
BCG has teamed up with WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development on a series of Masterclasses. During our latest session: "Empowering Leadership and Activating the Organization", expert speakers and over 50 finance and sustainability leaders discussed how we can embed sustainability throughout our operating models, integrating it into our organizational design, business processes, and corporate culture.
Key Takeaways:
📌 Strategic Integration: Incorporating sustainability into strategic and financial planning is crucial for long-term profitability and sustainability.
📌 Capital Frameworks: Adjusting capital allocation to include climate risks and opportunities ensures investments align with both environmental and business goals.
📌 Robust Metrics: Developing KPIs that merge financial and climate metrics promotes transparency, informed decision-making, and broader buy-in.
