"For many years, our clients talked of supporting the transition to a more sustainable economy; now we hear them speak of the business transformation required," shares Alice Spencer, programme director at the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Spencer works within the executive education team at CISL to design and deliver education programmes for senior leaders to help them engage with strategic business decisions to align sustainability and profitability.
Be it consumers, regulators, or an increasingly selective workforce demanding that employers do more, businesses are feeling the tide turn towards sustainability as the basis for long-term business success, rather than a mere 'nice to have'. "This presents a huge responsibility and opportunity for leaders to challenge their existing operating structures and cultures – even their fundamental purpose and value proposition – and lengthen their stride into relatively unknown ways of doing business," says Spencer.
