Pioneers
What is sustainability leadership? After the 2019 Sustainability Leaders Congress in Berlin, there are signs of change and glimmers of hope. It is becoming easier to sort out the pioneers from the pretenders. Three things make companies likes BASF, Domo, DSM, Eon, IKEA, Interface and Siemens stand out: 1. Purpose: being principle- not profit-driven. 2. Performance: adopting ambitious, science-based targets. 3. Portfolio: changing products or services to accelerate solutions to our global challenges. None are perfect, but they are publicly committing to scaling sustainable innovation. The race to the top is gathering speed.
