Greensight, the Sustainability Guide for Company Directors - Joanne Flinn

As senior leaders on the board and in the C-suite, you know a problem cannot be solved until it is understood. Sustainability is the defining challenge of our times. Greensight helps company directors, the C-suite and other leaders by:

• Simplifying the alphabet soup of sustainability jargon into board language
• Providing references, infographics, explanatory tables, and checklists
• Framing four typologies for business sustainability readiness
• Clearly outlining sustainability governance and accountabilities for boards and C-suites

Worldwide, regulations changing your accountability and exposure are in place or in the pipeline. Investors, who increasingly care about sustainability and its impact on the quality of the business and its valuations, are asking pointy questions. Customers and employees are, too.

As leaders, how do you get everyone onboard for the sustainability transition? How do you get measurable results that address both environmental concerns and financial needs? How do you ensure you have the right attitudes, culture, and governance in place to thrive, not just survive, in the world of tomorrow? Greensight is your answer to these challenges.
