Recommendation

The people who lead sustainability and ESG within their organizations know why their work is crucial – for their employers, society, and the planet. However, many questions remain about how best to accomplish corporate sustainability and environmental, social, and governance goals. ESG and green finance expert Chrissa Pagitsas offers meaty interviews with sustainability heads at Coca-Cola, Amazon, BlackRock, and other Fortune 500 companies. Their insights into strategy, leadership, and change management will be useful to any CSO or ESG leader and those who partner with and support them.

Take-Aways

  • CSOs guide their organization’s sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) agendas.
  • CSOs rely more on soft skills, consider longer time scales and measure their success differently than other executives.
  • CSOs must know and address internal and external stakeholder priorities.
