Sustainability is a leading concern in today's consumer landscape. Ever wondered how it impacts your business? Join us at the Leadership Summit in Clearwater, FL, May 7-9, to dive into the hot topic of sustainability and consumer consciousness in our session with Kris Sorokwasz, Cheron Greene (Coleman) and Pierre Martichoux. Explore genuine eco-friendly practices vs. greenwashing and learn strategic ways to engage clients authentically.

It was a privilege to share the stage with leaders like James Braham, Mhairi Donohoe and Steven Knox-Johnson and our excellent moderator Vanessa Hicks to discuss current Sustainability Challenges and Opportunities at our recent Leadership Forum in Adelaide. During the session, we explored the vital distinction between sustainability and climate change, emphasising why both are critical in today’s commercial landscape. We also discussed the ambitious targets and commitments Downer has made to reduce emissions, highlighting the need for a strategic, collaborative approach in achieving these goals. Our Social Infrastructure and Citizen Services business unit is leading the way in fleet decarbonisation and CO2 reduction, setting a strong trajectory towards our Net Zero objectives. However, we also recognised the challenges contract managers face in this transition—particularly in decarbonising fleets and identifying sustainable solutions that benefit not only our operations but also our clients. This discussion reinforced the importance of working closely with our customers to offer turn-key solutions that meet their unique sustainability goals while aligning with our own. By embedding sustainability into our business practices, we can drive impactful change across the board and ensure that both Downer and our clients thrive in a low-carbon future. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to this crucial conversation. #Sustainability #NetZero #ClimateChange #Leadership #DownerGroup #WHS #HSE Downer

Happy Earth Day from Lea_p Leadership! 🌍 Today, let's reflect on our impact on the planet and commit to leading with sustainability in mind. Considering how our actions affect the environment, let's make small changes - even little things like reducing waste, supporting eco-friendly ideas, or spreading awareness can make a big difference. #EarthDay #Sustainability #Leadership #LivingHeartCentredLeadership

Unfortunately, not all sustainability stories are genuine. The dark underbelly of sustainability that we often overlook but need to address… “‘Greenwashing is essentially when a company or organisation spends more time and money on marketing themselves as being sustainable than on actually minimising their environmental impact.” https://lnkd.in/gFtYRPkF We need to educate ourselves about greenwashing so we can stand up against it. The only way towards a sustainable future is to genuinely be contributing towards environmental, social, and economic issues rather than just offering lip service.

In every industry there might be a darker side that we often don’t acknowledge, because it’s easier to look the other way. Within sustainability this dark side is greenwashing. In the last 10 years, alongside the many positives in the industry, unfortunately greenwashing has been rising. We need to address it because it is undermining confidence in genuine sustainability initiatives. I wanted to deep dive into the topic of greenwashing and provide ways to avoid and stand up against it.

A just transition to a low-carbon economy is a fair and inclusive process that leaves no one behind. Implementing such a transition requires a deep understanding and proactive management of the social processes that determine the motivation and behavior of stakeholders, especially the most vulnerable. Thank you to the Climate & Sustainability Leadership Summit | 1BusinessWorld for inviting me to share insights into stakeholder engagement strategies that companies can implement in a just transition to a net-zero economy. Thank you Stelios Hatzakis and Amy Terpeluk for your partnership. Climate & Sustainability Leadership Summit | 1BusinessWorld #NYclimateweek #sustainability #justtransition #impactinvesting

Do you question your leadership when it comes to driving change and implementing new ESG practices in your company? You're not alone. When I started working with Beth Borody CDI.D, she had major imposter syndrome. She was new to sustainability but had an incredible opportunity to develop and lead a sustainability program in her company that was meaningful and created impact. Here's what we did: ✅ We specifically looked and building out a leading sustainability practice, with leading strategies. ✅ We worked on her mindset, building belief in herself and her ability to influence other senior executives in her company. Her results? She created a leading sustainability strategy, started her own membership The Femina Collective for women in her industry, became known as an industry expert (in high-demand) and was promoted to VP, Sustainability. Would you like to put yourself in bigger rooms, lead your company’s sustainability vision and in doing so create a more sustainable world? It really does take one person to create massive change. We just need to believe that.
