Fortifying Enterprises: Environmental Leadership in Building Resilient Enterprises

Enterprises are becoming increasingly challenged in terms of how they generate and maintain value in the climate of uncertainty, resource scarcity and increasing stakeholder demands. The issue of regulatory scrutiny, changes in the market and societal needs are increasingly questioning traditional business models that have focused on short-term financial outcomes, rather than long-term environmental outcomes. In this context, the concept of environmental leadership has become a recognizable competence that allows organisations not only to improve their positive impact on the environment but also their ability to survive in the long run. Instead of implementing sustainability as a box-ticking activity, the most successful organisations incorporate environmental responsibility in their strategic priorities, governance frameworks and their daily operations.
