A Global CEO study by Accenture and the UN Global Compact has shown
that 94% of CEOs think that their board should discuss
sustainability. And yet there is a real danger that boards are not
living up to expectations on sustainability, paying lip-service to
the concept rather than fully embedding social and environmental
issues into their strategies and operations. Talking Sustainability
in the Boardroom sets out why this is the case, identifies the
obstacles, and then explains the opportunities for the long-term
performance of the organisation that can arise through focusing on
social and environmental issues. Written by two leading specialists
in sustainability who have significant experience of working
directly with boards, this book presents a very practical framework
for embedding sustainability into board conversations and
strategies. Steps include identifying and prioritising the social
and environmental issues that are most pertinent to the
organisation and will have the biggest impact on business,
presenting the competences and skills to enable this, guidance on
how to structure board meetings to ensure that these conversations
truly take place, and the development of action plans and tools for
measurement.
