Sustainability has become imperative. A decade ago, reducing environmental impact was merely a “nice to have” for organizations. Today, leaders face ever-increasing pressure from employees, customers, and investors to act decisively on environmental issues. And it also represent an enormous business opportunity. Around the world and across all sectors, emerging climate technology companies are changing the game when it comes to how organizations can and should approach sustainability. So what can established companies do not to be left behind ? Here are some “imperatives” by sustainability start-ups, climate technology disruptors:
set a “North Star”: a bold sustainability vision that sets them apart
double down on talent and culture
flex their operating model, with leaders role-modeling a bold experimental mindset
take an agile approach to risk capital, knowing commercialization of products and services won’t happen overnight
Taking the following steps
genuinely driven by purpose and passion
deep technological understanding with bold future aspiration
transversal technology, meaning complementarity and partnerships
strong empowerment and risk-taking
test-and-try mentality at breakneck speed
And much more.
