Last week, KPMG UK and Leathwaite hosted a roundtable with leading CSOs to explore the shifting landscape of sustainability leadership. We had fascinating discussions with some key takeaways: 💡Bold thinking and business integration – CSOs must push long-term strategies and make sustainability a commercial imperative. 💡Expanding remit – moving beyond compliance to drive risk management, value creation, and board-level impact. 💡Transparency and collaboration – open stakeholder dialogue is essential, but regulatory barriers persist. 💡Sustainability as a growth driver – forward-thinking firms see it as a competitive advantage, not just a compliance requirement. 💡AI and innovation – emerging tech is revolutionizing sustainability measurement and strategy. A huge thank you to all who contributed! If you're interested in future discussions, connect with Holly Addison. #Sustainability #Leadership #CSO #ESG Will Hawkley Simon Weaver Liz Harrowell

Resilience. Growth mindset. Team mentality. Adaptability. These aren’t just the qualities we look for in the leaders we place — they’re the traits we cultivate within our own Leathwaite team. A great example is partner Marcus Beale, who recently shared his thoughts on leadership, adaptability, and navigating challenges in the Clarendon Chronicles podcast. It’s always insightful to hear the journeys and stories of others in leadership. Check it out below! 👇 Jeremy Earnshaw #Leadership #GrowthMindset #ExecutiveSearch #ClarendonChronicles 👇

For our last event update of the year, we recently had the pleasure of hosting our fourth NEDworking event in London. The evening was filled with insightful discussions, thought-provoking conversations, and invaluable networking among Non-Executive Directors and industry leaders. A huge thank you to our inspiring speakers Lisa Gordon, Tiffany Sword, Rachael Hoey, and Mark Derry - and to everyone who joined us for making the evening such a success. We look forward to keeping the conversation going at our next event in early February and keep growing this amazing NED community. Holly Addison Will Sealy #Leadership #Networking #NEDCommunity

Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) increasingly have the potential to be recognized as transformative leaders, especially as their role evolves into a more strategic and value-driven function. In our experience, whether a CPO is seen as transformative often depends on the individual, the organization’s perception of the function, and the broader business context. What do you see as the future role of the CPO? Leathwaite consultant Chris Davey shares his thoughts #ChiefProcurementOfficer #StrategicLeader #ExecutiveSearch
