Navigating Sustainable Growth: Pause and Reflect
We stand at a fork in the road. The next five years will define the future for business, for the planet, for our portfolios, and for our kids. With China leading the global transition to the clean energy economy (and the USA trailing so far behind we will likely never catch up), corporate boards and executive teams must hit pause.
Now is the time to thoroughly understand The Climate Story and examine how to deliver truly sustainable growth going forward.
In the first two months following publication of “Navigating Sustainable Growth: A Roadmap for Boards and Corporate Leaders,” Gib gave six talks (in the U.S., the Netherlands, and Germany), conducted two podcast recordings, and had an interview with a major business journal.
You can benefit from the rich discussions these sessions have provided!
