Environment, Energy Change Drives Value Creation, Innovation
As outlined in Serve to Lead, in the 21st century, values create value. Enterprises and those who would lead them are accountable for aligning values—from an expanding array of stakeholders—and value.
Sustainability is increasingly recognized as a foundational aspect of all aspects of business. Millennial and Gen Z consumers are flexing their muscle, demanding that their values be reflected in products and services. The rise of global issues such as the climate crisis is forcing consideration of unfamiliar, non-traditional risks.
These risks and uncertainties point toward unprecedented demands and opportunities. This includes new arrangements between and within the public, private and independent sectors. Companies often assume what were traditionally considered governmental roles. Cities are stepping into international issues—often working across national lines. Stakeholders of all kinds are reconfiguring and connecting internationally through the internet.
Environment and energy progress is fundamentally about driving greater engagement with employees, customers and other stakeholders—and about innovation. Investors and other stakeholders recognize that these issues are where present decisions reconcile the past with the future. Sustainable enterprises are built to last. —James Strock
The driver is innovation. Companies who create relationships serving employees, customers and other stakeholders—in greater numbers and depth—are succeeding because they’re succeeding at innovation.
