Little more than half (54%) of CSOs in the <a href="/en_uk/insights/sustainability/how-can-we-accelerate-climate-action">EY Sustainable Value Study</a> say that they have the authority to hold others accountable for their performance on sustainability initiatives.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Lack of accountability can be symptomatic of a broader lack of alignment and cross-functional collaboration. The <a href="/en_uk/insights/sustainability/how-can-we-accelerate-climate-action">EY Sustainable Value Study</a> reveals that 41% of organizations want significant improvement in collaboration between C-suite and board to effectively execute their climate strategy.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Gaps such as these frequently result in the creation of a sustainability strategy that is separate from the overall business strategy, relegating it to the margins. However, by integrating sustainability into the organization’s overarching strategy, leaders can bring functions together in a common goal.<br /> </span></p> <h4><span class="copy-block">Top-down leadership<br /> </span></h4> <p><span class="copy-block">Avoiding these disconnects starts with a drive for integration from the top, led and sponsored by the CEO with the support of the board. The whole executive team needs to be engaged and committed to driving the right internal and external conversations. By co-creating strategy and metrics and socializing them across functions, business units and geographies, companies can achieve widescale buy-in and alignment.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Take, for example, one of Australia’s largest property developer, Stockland. The CSO and Head of Development, Petie Walker recalls when CEO, Tarun Gupta, “made sustainability a core part of the new business strategy he implemented when he assumed the role few years ago, triggering an 18-month process to refresh the company’s approach to sustainability that engaged the entire organization”. </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">“The CEO's role is absolutely crucial,” adds Andrew Stevens, a non-executive director of Stockland’s board, and Chair of the Sustainability Committee. “It's very difficult for enthusiastic people to move the needle on sustainability if that's not matched at the top in the leadership.”<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">At Mahindra, the automobile manufacturer, the sustainability committee is chaired by the group CEO, Anish Shah, giving its decisions the weight of his office. “Silos are perforated,” says Vikram Mehta, lead independent director of Mahindra’s board.<br /> </span></p> <h4><span class="copy-block">Strategic and future looking<br /> </span></h4> <p><span class="copy-block">In this process, collaboration among the CSO/CFO/Board trifecta is essential for making sustainability strategic and future-looking. This is perhaps nowhere more important than at Asahi, whose business, as a major beverage company, depends heavily on natural products. “We believe that sustainability is an investment in our future. We try to quantify the risk and the impact and try to avoid future cost,” says Kaoru Sakita, Asahi’s Group CFO.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">For Kayoko Kondo, the company’s previous Head of Sustainability, the growing imperative to demonstrate the value of sustainability to future financial outcomes will require the CSO and CFO to “work as just one team”. Keizo Tanimura, the company’s Director EVP and Group CPO, adds: “It's important to think about the future and what kind of culture, strategy and day-to-day leadership you seek. It all comes down to crafting dynamics and governance frameworks that are fit for the company, and creating the foundations and supporting mechanisms that allow those frameworks to evolve continuously and remain effective.”<br /> </span></p> <h4><span class="copy-block">Expanding beyond the trifecta<br /> </span></h4> <p><span class="copy-block">While the trifecta remains central, as the team driving change, all a company’s leaders need to come together to cascade a sustainability strategy throughout the organization.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">“Everyone in our executive team sponsors a part of the sustainability strategy,” says Alison Harrop, Stockland’s CFO. “It's very much a spiderweb sitting across our organization with many intersecting points but driven by the people in the business who can deliver the outcomes.”<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">The demands of more robust and regulatory-driven non-financial reporting are another important catalyst. For example, at the e-commerce company eBay, the sustainability team is increasingly collaborating with the company’s Chief Accounting Officer and SEC reporting team, “we have tremendous partnership across the whole of the finance organization” says Steve Priest, CFO of eBay.<br /> </span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Technology change is also creating need to expand the sustainability team. The dramatic adoption of generative AI (GenAI) has sparked a spike in both energy consumption and data center buildouts globally. Whether an organization is maintaining its own data centers or using cloud providers, the need to understand the climate and nature impacts of GenAI brings the Chief Information Officer to the table.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="inlinequote aem-GridColumn--default--none aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--8 aem-GridColumn--offset--default--2"> <div class="cmp-inlineQuote"> <div class="cmp-inlineQuote__content"> <blockquote class="cmp-inlineQuote__quote">Everyone in our executive team sponsors a part of the sustainability strategy</blockquote> <div class="cmp-inlineQuote__metadata"> <p class="cmp-inlineQuote__quotee-name">Alison Harrop</p> <p class="cmp-inlineQuote__quotee-job">Chief Financial Officer, Stockland</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container responsivegrid aem-GridColumn--default--none aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--8 aem-GridColumn--offset--default--2"> <div id="container-0e01cba023" class="cmp-container"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--8 aem-Grid--default--8 "> <div class="upAccordion component aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--8"> <div id="accordion-82f6f81f08" class="up-accordion" data-up-is="accordion" data-up-single-expansion data-placeholder-text="false"> <ul class="up-accordion__list"> <li data-up-hook-accordion="[items]" id="accordion-82f6f81f08-item-dc794b7866" class="up-accordion__item"> <h2 class="up-accordion__header"> <button id="accordion-82f6f81f08-item-dc794b7866-button" class="up-accordion__header-button" aria-controls="accordion-82f6f81f08-item-dc794b7866-panel" aria-expanded="false" data-up-hook-accordion="[buttons]"> <span class="up-accordion__header-button-title">Transformational CSOs collaborate better across the C-suite</span> <span class="up-accordion__header-button-icon"> </span> </button> </h2> <div data-up-hook-accordion="[panels]" id="accordion-82f6f81f08-item-dc794b7866-panel" class="up-accordion__panel" role="region" aria-labelledby="accordion-82f6f81f08-item-dc794b7866-button" aria-hidden="true" inert><div class="container responsivegrid"> <div id="container-dc794b7866" class="cmp-container"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="rich-text text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"><div data-cmp-data-layer="{"rich-text-0c230c2d1b":{"@type":"ey-unified-site/components/rich-text","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-08T08:20:46Z","xdm:text":"<p><span class=\"copy-block\">EY’s&nbsp;<a href=\"/content/ey-unified-site/ey-com/local/uk/en_uk/home/insights/sustainability/how-can-we-accelerate-climate-action.html\">Sustainable Value Study</a>&nbsp;shows how transformational CSOs are more effective at establishing relationships with key executive leadership roles beyond the CEO and CFO.

The same material sustainability topics that are core to the business and inform the risk register can point to business opportunities when viewed through a different lens.</span></p> </div> </div> <button class="rich-text__read-more-btn rich-text__button--hidden" data-up-hook-rich-text="richTextReadMoreButton" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="Read more button, press enter to activate, or use Up arrow key to learn more about this content"> Read more </button> <button class="rich-text__read-less-btn" data-up-hook-rich-text="richTextReadLessButton" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="Read less button, press enter to activate, or use Up arrow key to learn more about this content"> Read less </button> </div> </div> <div class="container responsivegrid theme-dark cmp-container--theme-dark cmp-container--background-color-e2e aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div id="container-edfbf1e047" class="cmp-container"> <div class="aem-Grid aem-Grid--12 aem-Grid--default--12 "> <div class="separator aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div class="cmp-separator"> <hr class="cmp-separator__horizontal-rule"/> </div></div> <div class="rich-text text aem-GridColumn--default--none aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--8 aem-GridColumn--offset--default--2"><div data-cmp-data-layer="{"rich-text-85bd99b3bc":{"@type":"ey-unified-site/components/rich-text","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-08T08:20:46Z","xdm:text":"<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"copy-block\">Most highly resilient boards (78%) view ESG as more of an opportunity than a risk for their organizations in the longer term (vs. 50% of less resilient boards).</span></h4>\r\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"gen-copy-block\">2023 EY Global Board Risk Survey</span></h6>\r\n"}}" data-up-is="rich-text" data-up-translation-read-more="Read more" data-up-translation-read-less="Read less" data-up-translation-aria-label-read-more="Read more button, press enter to activate, or use Up arrow key to learn more about this content" data-up-translation-aria-label-read-less="Read less button, press enter to activate, or use Up arrow key to learn more about this content" class="up-rich-text cmp-text" data-up-analytics="rich-text"> <div class="up-rich-text__container" data-up-hook-rich-text="richTextContainer"> <div class="up-rich-text__container-content" data-up-hook-rich-text="richTextContent"> <h4 style=" text-align: center; "><span class="copy-block">Most highly resilient boards (78%) view ESG as more of an opportunity than a risk for their organizations in the longer term (vs. 50% of less resilient boards).</span></h4> <h6 style=" text-align: center; "><span class="gen-copy-block">2023 EY Global Board Risk Survey</span></h6> </div> </div> <button class="rich-text__read-more-btn rich-text__button--hidden" data-up-hook-rich-text="richTextReadMoreButton" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="Read more button, press enter to activate, or use Up arrow key to learn more about this content"> Read more </button> <button class="rich-text__read-less-btn" data-up-hook-rich-text="richTextReadLessButton" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="Read less button, press enter to activate, or use Up arrow key to learn more about this content"> Read less </button> </div> </div> <div class="separator cmp-separator--half-size aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12"> <div class="cmp-separator"> <hr class="cmp-separator__horizontal-rule" aria-hidden="true" role="none"/> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="rich-text text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--newline aem-GridColumn--default--8 aem-GridColumn--offset--default--2"><div data-cmp-data-layer="{"rich-text-a6c308a7d8":{"@type":"ey-unified-site/components/rich-text","repo:modifyDate":"2024-10-08T08:20:46Z","xdm:text":"<h4><span class=\"copy-block\">No board silos</span></h4>\r\n<p><span class=\"copy-block\">The Board can’t have silos any more than the broader organization.

Abanti Sankaranarayanan, Mahindra’s Group Executive board member overseeing sustainability, says she connects with “particular board members regularly to use them as a sounding board." Similarly, Asahi’s Kondo says, “when we listen to the feedback from the board members with a wider range of backgrounds, we often learn new perspectives.” Jennifer Li, supervisory board member at SAP agrees: “having senior management engage the Board might provide a perspective that could be a paradigm shift and help the organization take the next leap into sustainability achievements.”</span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Empathy and listening can’t stop at C-suite or even the boundaries of the organization. “It's important to include a wide range of perspectives, such as various department members, a wider range of people with different age groups, including younger people and external stakeholders who make up our ecosystem,” says Asahi’s Sakita “doing so provides us with stronger, more nourishing foundations from which to generate new initiatives and value for society.”</span></p> <p><span class="copy-block">Stevens, of Stockland, shares the powerful impact of taking a listening approach with Indigenous stakeholders: “When we first engaged with First Nations people I’ll admit we used to go out with a set of PowerPoint slides. We’ve come a long way since then and the reality now is very much to listen and receive – which is the heart of reconciliation in the Australian context. The depth of emotion and creativity that results is quite staggering.” </span></p> </div> </div> <button class="rich-text__read-more-btn rich-text__button--hidden"
