Sustainability has moved from the margins to the mainstream of corporate strategy. What matters now is execution: how do businesses translate climate and nature commitments into tangible commercial outcomes? As boards push for clearer returns, the debate is shifting from disclosure to delivery—linking decarbonisation and circularity directly to resilience, growth and competitive advantage. What does it take to embed sustainability into core decision-making rather than treating it as a parallel function. How should leaders define value in the transition? And as supply chains become more complex and volatile, what new metrics, beyond cost and efficiency, will determine success?
