Trust & Transparency in the Boardroom in a VUCA environment: join the conversation!

A global shift is underway towards transparency in climate-related activities. I’ve seen this happening in real-time thanks to my wife, Devon Long-Lytle, the resident sustainability professional of the Lytle house. If you’re not a sustainability pro… or married to one, where do you go to understand the interrelationship between emerging environmental/climate science and your specific disciplines? Business schools have a prime opportunity to prepare the next generation for leadership in the carbon transition. Let’s make it part of the MBA curriculum. https://lnkd.in/eTkUHQfD

As policies and laws change to promote and even enforce sustainable operations, businesses have a choice: either constantly play catch-up or to be leaders. Tomorrow's managers need a strong foundation in sustainability to help their business achieve the latter. #sustainability #sustainableoperations #mba #businessschools #climatecareers

Our new book is out! ‘Building Global Societies Towards an ESG World. A Sustainable Development in Goal in the 21st Century’ by Springer. 16 chapters written by 35 authors from 20 different universities and institutions from 13 countries. ESG research at its best!

Understanding the intricate dynamics of business management and its path toward growth, demands a profound grasp of long-term value. This value is intricately interwoven with ESG practices and the management of business dimensions in a manner that is both strategic and sustainable for each organization. Hence, familiarity with these principles should be standard for all business managers. #ESG #Sustainability #Longtermvalue Harvard Business Review

This is a part of my journey of Master in Sustainability and Business Innovation from EADA Business School. Today, Organizations struggle with how to assess the financial return on their own sustainability-centered business decisions, but sustainability challenges can lead to higher corporate financial performance. Thanks Professor Paolo Taticchi, OMRI and UCL for this Excellent Executive Education Module: Sustainability Strategy Design and Implementation. 

I'm happy to share that I've completed the "Business for Good: Fundamentals of Corporate Responsibility" course on Coursera by London Business School, led by Professor Ioannis Ioannou. This comprehensive course provided me with invaluable insights into sustainable business practices, emphasizing the importance of integrating ESG and CSR into core corporate strategies. I've gained a deeper understanding of how companies can create long-term value while contributing positively to society and the environment. Key learnings from the course include: 1) The significance of sustainability in driving corporate performance and resilience. 2) Effective strategies for embedding ESG and CSR into business models. 3) Measuring and reporting on sustainability performance to ensure transparency and accountability. 4) The critical role of governance and ethical leadership in fostering sustainable practices. I'm excited to apply these insights to my professional journey and contribute to a more sustainable future. #Sustainability #ESG #CSR #CorporateResponsibility #ProfessionalDevelopment #SustainableBusiness #FutureOfWork #ContinuousLearning #esg

So…in my last two posts, I talked about my connected missions:   ✅ to #SimplifySustainabilityforBusinesses and ✅ to advocate for African business leaders to have #ASeatAtTheTable and #AVoiceInThe Room where Sustainability-related regulations are being made that will have implications for the growth – and survival – of their companies.   I have quite a few plans for achieving both 😉 and one of them is offering tailored Masterclasses on Environmental, Social, and Governance for boards and senior executives in #Africa 🌍.   ❓ Are you a board member or senior executive:   💡 looking to set and drive the #Sustainability agenda in your organisation?

Or 💡deciding how best to use your voice to contribute to shaping international ESG and Sustainability policies, regulations and standards?   👊🏾 With over 30 years of Sustainability expertise and experience forged from working for and with multinational companies, local businesses, government agencies, development finance institutions, private equity funds, and international organisations in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, as well as Asia, I bring real-life examples, practical knowledge, and pragmatic insights to the table. .

I have just completed the first two days of the European Board Diploma course in Brussels, which was a real eye-opener.  By immersing myself in the world of corporate governance, I've gained an invaluable insight into the intricate mechanisms that drive responsible and effective decision making within organisations. The growing importance of ESG principles in shaping modern business practices was one of the key takeaways from these sessions. Adopting these principles isn't simply a box-ticking exercise, but one that fosters a culture of sustainability, responsibility and stakeholder engagement. Understanding the interplay between corporate governance and ESG factors is critical as we navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world. It's about doing what's right for our planet, our communities and future generations, not just what's right for the bottom line. Let's keep learning, adapting and driving positive change together! ecoDa a.s.b.l - The European Confederation of Directors Associations Béatrice Richez-Baum Anastasia Papageorgopoulos Maya Geneletti Hagen Schweinitz #EuropeanBoardDiploma #CorporateGovernance #ESG #Sustainability #ecoDa #Leadership
