The scale, scope and organisational transformation required to respond to climate challenges means that sustainability professionals will have to work differently. A sustainability team with responsibility for delivering elements of environmental management will not be sufficient.
We are working with an increasing number of sustainability practitioners who are adapting their own ways of working (and those of their teams) to deliver sustainability differently.
With a focus on empowering leaders within an organisation to embed sustainability into policy, process and practice, the sustainability team as catalyst rather than a delivery mechanism is evolving.
