What does it take to run a responsible business?

Описание

Business leaders are asked to perform the ultimate balancing act.    They face pressure to manage their company’s environmental footprint, adjust to the impacts of climate change, and build rewarding experiences for employees and customers, all while continuing to deliver financial performance. So, how do they accomplish that? And what can the business world learn from companies that are already testing new ways to respond to these pressures?    In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Charles Conn—venture capital investor, author, and longtime Board Chair of outdoor gear and clothing company Patagonia. They discuss how Patagonia squares its ethical commitments with the need to make money in a highly competitive market, and lessons the company’s learned that can apply to other businesses. They also talk to Colm Kelly, Global Leader, Corporate Sustainability, for the PwC network, about what he hears in boardrooms and how the real-world impacts of the climate transition are prompting change.   Take on Tomorrow is brought to you by strategy+business, a PwC publication © 2024 PwC.
