EY analysis of corporate data from the Forbes Global 500<sup>2</sup> indicates that organizations with a CSO are more committed to sustainability, have more ambitious emission reduction targets (54% vs. 44% of organizations without a CSO), and have reduced their emissions 3.6% over three years (vs. a 5% increase in companies without a CSO).<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Far deeper reductions are needed and require transformative changes to organizations and their business models: a clearly defined vision, identification of risks and opportunities and robust governance structures. Operational models must be adapted, portfolios adjusted, and supply chains more actively engaged.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">CSOs can’t do this alone — they need to empower the whole C-suite to effect business change, drive value and produce results.<br /> </span></p> <h4><span class="copy-block">Searching for satisfied CSOs<br /> </span></h4> <p><span class="copy-block">The CSO role may once have amounted to what Robert Eccles and Alison Taylor, in a recent <i>Harvard Business Review</i> article<sup>3</sup>, refer to as “stealth PR executives.” Not anymore. “The CSO role is finally becoming strategic,” they wrote, as the focus moves from “feel-good corporate social responsibility to hard-nosed sustainable value creation.”<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">CSOs are being tasked with identifying the sustainability issues that have a substantial impact on an organization’s financial performance and risk profile, but even those in the most committed organizations are struggling with inadequate cross-functional collaboration and a slow pace of progress. These factors are helping drive worrying levels of CSO dissatisfaction — only 17% of CSOs and equivalents in our survey are “highly satisfied” in their roles, and 42% are not committed to staying with their current employer. This jeopardizes further progress and poses considerable risks to the future continuity and strategic planning of sustainability programs.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container
