Can profit and purpose truly coexist in the future of healthcare? ⚖️ In the latest episode of our Sustainable Sustainability Podcast, Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO of Stewardship Asia Centre, and former journalist Teymoor Nabili, dive into this critical question with Bhargav Sri Prakash, Founder & CEO of FriendsLearn.

"Ultimately, steward leadership is a choice driven by intentionality. You can make excuses, or you can follow the lead of companies like Patagonia, Tata Group, and Faber-Castell Group, which have embraced sustainability and society-first strategies from the get-go and found profitable solutions to humanity's most pressing challenges." Our CEO, Rajeev Peshawaria, recently appeared on CNA with Cheryl Goh and Wui Lynn Chew to discuss the disconnect between boardroom promises and their actual practices. Rajeev shared the inspiration behind his commitment to sustainability and leadership, and explained the motivations behind his book, Sustainable Sustainability. He also addressed why existing ESG frameworks often result in greenwashing and superficial compliance, arguing that an upgrade to ESL—Steward Leadership—is crucial. By adopting Steward Leadership principles, he emphasised how organizations can create a win-win-win future for all stakeholders, society and future generations and the environment, driving meaningful and impactful change.
