As businesses experience rising pressure from customers, investors and sustainability regulations, it’s critical that the collective C-Suite takes responsibility for driving climate action. Whichever individual is accountable for implementing and supporting climate measures, business leaders play a vital role in supporting a business in achieving its climate goals. #climateaction #csuite #sustainability

With the recent departure of H&M CEO Helena Helmersson, we are back to exactly zero active CEOs who were once the company Sustainability Leaders. Why? If all we know to be true about the need to transform businesses to be more sustainable, why aren't CSOs at least interested in being the future leaders?

Why aren't more of us in the sustainability profession gunning for the top job? Very interesting reflections from Matthew Bell in a guest post for ESG Today. My take: Perhaps many of us don't feel that we can (or want to) conform to the stereotypical role of the CEO, we don't think we could successfully redefine value creation for our businesses (many have tried and failed), or we have grown used - even cynical - to second-class attitudes towards sustainability compared to financial returns, therefore we don't think other business leaders could see us in this light. So we tend to stay in our lane, at best aspiring to the CSO role. Valid as the sentiment may be, Matt's fair challenge in the comments to his post is: if we don’t see ourselves as top leaders, how can we expect others to?

This week’s Suits the C-Suites article is titled “How climate risk reporting can turn ambition into action.” It is written by Benjamin Villacorte, a Climate Change and Sustainability Services Partner of SGV & Co. and the Chairman of the Philippine Sustainability Reporting Committee. This is the first article in a two-part series that will discuss insights from the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), where countries agreed to take collective action to move away from fossil fuels. In this first part, the authors discuss insights from the fifth EY Climate Risk Barometer covering current trends in global climate risk reporting, uneven progress within markets and sectors, the adoption of mandatory climate disclosure requirements, and core elements that will shape the reporting landscape. When companies embrace the spirit of reporting frameworks to drive underlying business changes, they realize financial, customer, employee, societal, and planetary value from the effort.
