Question 1

Do you think those leaders that are trying to regress sustainability goals are being short sighted, especially given the fact that renewables and energy efficiency has taken a strong foothold and that it is better for operational cost, as well as improving their social value credentials?

Carley Connell · Accepted Answer

Rolling back action doesn’t just create long‑term costs and risks. It is creating risks and costs right now. Investors still expect progress, employees want to work for organisations that are acting, and customers—especially in B2B—demand demonstrable results. And with the extreme rainfall the UK and many other regions have faced this year, it’s clear that every business must build resilience into operations, supply chains and the communities they depend on. That’s the heart of sustainability: not something to pursue only when conditions are favourable, but the foundation for a business that can survive and thrive today and tomorrow.
