Sustainability Starts in the Boardroom: The Critical Role of Corporate Governance in Driving Global Change
At Climate & Sustainability Leadership, Henning Stein of 1BusinessWorld and Helle Bank Jørgensen, CEO of Competent Boards, stress the critical role of corporate boards in advancing sustainability. They highlight a significant gap in sustainability expertise, with only 2% of Fortune 500 boards having strong competencies in this area. Jørgensen underscores that boards must be equipped to address climate risks and align business strategies with sustainability goals. Both leaders agree that long-term business viability depends on integrating sustainability into governance, with boards acting as stewards of the future. Their message is clear: sustainability begins in the boardroom.
