Transitioning from Sustainability Leader to Strategic Executive.
Description
Sustainability professionals are increasingly being asked to lead beyond their technical expertise — to shape strategy, influence decision-makers, and communicate sustainability as business value.
This webinar brings together senior leaders and market experts to unpack how sustainability is viewed from the executive level, what it takes to step into leadership roles, and how to build credibility in complex decision-making environments.
