It wasn’t a new question, but amazingly, of the 40+ people in the room, only one person was able to think of an example (an Australian energy company which he had previously worked for).

I have been pondering the importance of senior leadership support for sustainability ever since and considering the implications of corporate power constructs for the success of sustainability.  I’ve been canvassing my contacts and the best example that I have heard so far of a company that drove sustainability through its operations without senior level support (at least initially) is BT.

But more interestingly, my question has lead to another-what qualifies as support?  If we wait for all of the global corporates to have leaders like Paul Polman, the ice caps will have melted and we’ll still be using Styrofoam packaging.  So what’s the solution? I don’t have the answer, but what do you – our London network – think? Maybe this is an area which a  follow up event can debate? All suggestions welcome!
