“When you work in sustainability you have a 360 vision of what’s happening in the company, and it can give you access to the CEO path”
- Sweep CEO Rachel Delacour.
It's one of the fastest-growing areas in business: sustainability leadership.
Our CEO Rachel Delacour was recently asked to reflect on her career in climate tech, and offer advice to other budding leaders.
Some key thoughts:
✳ Surround yourself with the right people
✳ Claim your seat in the boardroom - and put ESG at the top of the agenda
✳ Explain that sustainability impacts the bottom line
✳ Harness tech for sustainability success

It was brilliant to get together with senior leaders from a range of industries last week at our sustainability and commercial growth breakfast.
Here’s what one of our attendees had to say:
“It was a great session! Fantastic to be part of a group of leaders with such strong positive intent. Thanks for the invite.”
We know that collaborative partnerships that offer many different perspectives are critical to solve the challenges we’re facing. We have lots more to explore and will be continuing our work by exploring the topics that came up in greater depth – watch this space!

Massive thanks to Chris Venter from Benevity for inviting me to attend this year's Sustainability Leaders Summit | 6-7 March 2024 | Melbourne.
A massive two days of knowledge sharing, and lots of learning to be had from leaders in this space, amongst a community of like-minded, values-driven colleagues.
My key take outs over the last two days are:
- Look into an organisation's social value strategy as the focus on S is coming following the current focus on the E and the G in ESG.
-Continue to connect to purpose. Connect your social purpose to your business purpose.
-Focus on demonstrating impact rather than just output
-Democratise sustainability. Use your community to help make a difference.
At Raise Foundation, we know the value of community all working together to help build a generation of resilient, confident and hopeful individuals.
Yesterday we were delighted to host a virtual roundtable with Andrew Winston, founder of Winston Eco Strategies and co-author of Net Positive, alongside leading sustainability leaders from around the globe.
“Companies need to know how to improve the world through their existence.”
Some key takeaways:
- Change is exponential and solutions are coming at an exponential speed.
- A sustainable business can be built through leadership, setting big goals and partnerships.
- Leveraging your carbon data will lead to more transparency.
- Sustainability leaders can champion disclosures like CSRD to drive impactful collaboration.

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.
