Championing Change: Building Effective Partnerships Between Boards and Chief Sustainability Officers

As sustainability rises on the corporate agenda, Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) and Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) are emerging as critical allies in shaping long-term strategy. CSOs play a vital role in driving innovation, aligning sustainability with business objectives, navigating regulatory demands, and building cross-functional and external partnerships. Meanwhile, boards bring the governance and strategic oversight needed to embed sustainability at the core.

This panel will explore how CSOs and board members can bridge communication gaps, better understand each other’s language and priorities, and collaborate more effectively to accelerate transformation. Attendees will gain insights into emerging trends, best practices for measuring impact, and what it takes to lead meaningful change in today’s fast-evolving landscape.

Join us for a timely discussion on how boards and CSOs can co-create a sustainable future—together.
