Sustainable Leadership

How Leaders Steer Towards Sustainable Paths

Sasha Qadri prompted a discussion about how these technology leaders guide their businesses towards sustainability. Some key takeaways include:

• Building the Bigger Picture: Danny Attias of London Business School emphasized the importance of comprehensive conversations ranging from carbon offset to domestic and procurement policies.
• Embracing Change: Jacqui Lipinski believes that while sustainability isn’t new, articulating required changes is a challenge. She calls for a stronger emphasis on how technology can aid in sustainability transitions.
• Setting a Strong Foundation: Adrian Samareanu stressed that initiating a sustainability culture begins with a clear vision. He remarked on the necessity of adapting to digital transformations and noted that cultural shifts don't happen overnight.
  

Scope 1, 2, and 3 Emissions: A Sustainable Leadership Concern

The debate shifted focus to the considerations of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in sustainable leadership strategies:

• Measuring Emissions: Steen Dalgas, from Nutanix, highlighted the challenges most organizations face, especially with scope 3 emissions stemming from the supply chain.
• Sustainability for All: Linda Rogers and Freddie Quek both emphasized that sustainability is everyone's responsibility, not just a single department's. They urged organizations to initiate conversations and act as a part of the solution.
  

Conclusion

Sustainable leadership is the cornerstone of modern, environmentally-conscious businesses. It's not just about greening operations; it's about steering entire organisations, through informed decisions and practices, towards a future where sustainability is at the heart of all actions.
