Many organisations have improved sustainability reporting. But reporting progress is not the same as delivering measurable impact.

Drawing on his latest book, Sustainable Strategic Management: Leadership with Purpose, Professor Paul A. Phillips argues that the green transition is a strategic learning challenge, not just a regulatory one.

For professionals building sustainability careers, this session identifies the skills that will define the next generation of sustainability leaders.

For HR, talent and recruiters, it clarifies the sustainable strategic management capabilities organisations now need.

For executives, it shows how to translate sustainability commitments into decisions, business cases and measurable outcomes.

Participants will leave with a practical lens for turning sustainability knowledge into strategic action.
