Jonathan Hall, Managing Partner of Kantar's Sustainable Transformation Practice (which undertakes Chapter Zero’s annual member survey) calls it ‘mega disruption’. He considers the evidence for mega global economic and social disruption, plots a path through it, suggests how boards might think about it, and puts purpose and innovation at the centre of brand resilience.
Chapter Zero CEO, Vicky Moffatt, shares her optimism based on insights from our 3,500 members and their ever increasing engagement levels. She says that the urgency has inspired a more outspoken style of leadership from Directors and Chairs, and that a host of other indicators make her more encouraged about progress on the climate agenda.
In 2023, Chapter Zero partnered with McKinsey for a three-part event series that explored the impact non-executive directors (NEDs) can have in the boardroom to help their organisations achieve net zero. The first of these sessions, held on Tuesday 6 June, focused on the strategic fundamentals of green growth, and how NEDs can support organisations to move from pledges to plans and help them achieve low-carbon growth. We have summarised below the key takeaways of this event.
