Recent months have been a challenging time for sustainability.

There is more pressure than ever for sustainability to produce tangible business benefits. Companies can no longer address sustainability challenges in isolation. Siloed strategies managed by separate teams must evolve into joint objectives that all departments bear responsibility for, and this must happen quickly.
