Sustainability during crisis: Understanding CEO perspectives
Listen now
Description
This month, Adam Green speaks to Casey Wells, a senior managing director leading Accenture’s business in the Northeast US, and Michael Hughes, a sustainability strategy and technology director at Accenture, about the latest United Nations Global Compact-Accenture CEO Study on Sustainability, and how business leaders are thinking about sustainability at a time of rising global instability. A dramatic set of challenges — from inflation to labor shortages, trade regulation and geopolitical instability — are forcing businesses to navigate new levels of uncertainty, and threatening efforts to reach the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This podcast explores how CEOs are trying to build resilience against those challenges by putting sustainability at the core of their businesses. We also discuss the role of technology in driving the sustainability agenda, and shortcomings in global regulatory frameworks.
