Is your board of directors ready to take the lead in this pivotal time of transformation?
COP21 in Paris was a turning point, where political leaders and society at large called for companies to play a major role in achieving a net zero carbon emission world in the second half of the century.
With their unique position and responsibilities, Boards have a duty to show the way towards a sustainable and prosperous future for the company.
One thing is now abundantly clear; Boards of directors can no longer say that they did not know about essential sustainability issues such as climate change, business’ role in causing it and its associated risks.
Our programmes are designed by and for board directors
Our approach
We equip boards to lead — not just to comply.

Understand the impact of a disrupted system on the business model
We are reaching the planet's boundaries. We explore the concept of system pressures—both planetary boundaries and social systems—to better understand the breaking points we are facing.
Business as usual is dead. We demonstrate how global expectations and stakeholder pressures affect the key drivers of a business model: its risks, opportunities, and approach to resource management.
There will be winners and losers. We explain how these changes will create clear distinctions between those who succeed and those who fail, emphasising that being among the front-runners is safer than being among the laggards in the inevitable transformation ahead.
Empower the board to drive change, reinterpreting their role and duties in a shifting environment
We believe that the board has a specific role and duties to lead transformation and must embrace its leadership position.
We address the board’s role with a focus on purpose, its relationship with stakeholders, and its responsibility toward measuring impacts and performance.
We highlight what good/leading practices look like and what it would take to establish an ‘Earth Competent Board.’ We explore the integration of purpose and sustainability into governance structures and processes: committees, agendas, composition and skills, engagement with management, and more.
