#17 Sustainable Development Goals and Leadership with Sarah Valkering (Reputatiegroep)
Description
Building a sustainable organization, how does that work in practice? As an executive or leader, stakeholders expect from you to take it on and make it happen. But becoming a true sustainable and futureproof organization is easier said than done. Sarah Valkering, partner at the Reputatiegroep acknowledges this and explains how organizations go through similar stages of maturity. In the first stages, they start with compliance & donating to charity, then sustainability becomes a task of the marketing department (here the greenwashing usually starts), after that sustainability becomes more of a strategic asset and, in the final stage, organizations use sustainability to become a transformational leader. This is the moment when true societal impact happens. When traditional systems and sectors change.
As an organization how can you skip the first stages and speed up to become a transformational leader and make true impact? Is that even possible? And what do Sustainable Development Goals and collaboration have to do with this? Listen to this week’s Sustainable Change Makers podcast to find out.
