In an era marked by geopolitical tensions, economic fluctuations, and unprecedented climate challenges, business leaders must adopt a long-term vision to build resilience and sustainability.
At the upcoming COP29 in Azerbaijan, these issues take center stage, highlighting the need for companies to prioritize not only environmental sustainability but also social and governance aspects. CEOs globally acknowledge the pressure to lead responsibly, with 98% of executives believing they play a crucial role in steering their companies toward sustainability.
