How the role of the Chief Sustainability Officer is evolving in relation to other Executives: sustainability from compliance to innovation strategy



Sustainability means more than just rules and regulations to follow. Future CSOs will need to make the issue of sustainability a point of strategic advantage for the company, and for that they will also need to bring sustainable goals into all teams.
In this meeting, sustainability is addressed as a strategic resource that impacts the entire organization. The CSO of the future is described as an innovator for the company, as long as they are able to communicate with Executives in other functions and do “internal activism.”

Participants during this meeting will be able to:

  • Identify in a timely manner the skills and mindset of sustainability managers in the future, to find the right balance between regulations, stakeholders' interests, and customers' expectations
  • Rethink the role of the CSO as an “internal activist,” shifting the focus from compliance to sustainability as a driver of innovation
  • Gain ideas on C-Suite integration, to integrate sustainability into the core business by engaging CSO, CFO, CEO and the other Executives in better cooperation.
