Executing Sustainability Strategies

The societal and environmental challenges in front of us are existential. Addressing them calls for a collective effort from all parts of society, including business. Sustainability is no longer an option; it is a requirement for every organisation on the planet to develop and execute sustainability strategies.  At the same time there are significant opportunities to develop businesses or propositions and improve the lives of customers, colleagues and across society. 

Being sustainable in strategy, practice and impact requires going beyond compliance. It involves designing and implementing business sustainability strategies that create positive and tangible impact and value for your entire ecosystem of stakeholders.   

This calls for a holistic and integrated approach that drives value and sustained growth; growth that meets the needs of today as well as those of tomorrow.  

To move from sustainability strategies to holistic and cost-effective actions plans, organisations need new processes underpinned by systems thinking, a reined organisational purpose, structural changes, and the systemic controls to align and inspire your team. This programme will provide the tools to protect your sustainability action plan from the perils and pitfalls that lie ahead. Some challenges are common to all strategic initiatives – others deeply specific to executing sustainability strategies. 

Designed and delivered by Executive Education Imperial College Business School in collaboration with the Imperial College Leonardo Centre and the and the Sargent Centre for Process Systems Engineering, our Executing Sustainability Strategies course is a unique executive education learning journey.  

The programme gives you the depth, time and space you need to refine and implement your sustainability strategy—with continuous, follow-through support and guidance from the Imperial College ecosystem of world experts in sustainability and leadership.
