The turbulent changes remaking our world demand bold, urgent action. Integrating sustainability into a business' core strategy is no longer sufficient. It is time to focus on resilient business strategies combined with purposeful leadership and a new social contract for the 21st century. This will lead to nimbler, more innovative companies, achieve long-term value for all stakeholders, and deliver on the promise of a just and sustainable world.
