Despite best intentions, the say-do gap on corporate climate action remains wide.
Successfully deploying a climate transition plan or sustainability strategy requires numerous teams, business units, and systems to work toward a common goal – this can’t happen without a working governance model.
Getting sustainability governance right is easier said than done. Issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and other sustainability topics require true business model transformation and collaboration. Done well, governance models can establish meaningful ways of working, break down siloes, and unlock the funding you need to turn commitment into action. But without a thoughtful approach, you risk limiting governance to decision-making and bureaucracy.
