Overview

This momentum is in part coming from a change in power - be it employee power, customer purchasing power, voting power, investing power or legislative power. Directors’ obligations of diligence and care extend to stakeholders not just shareholders. To be financially sustainable, organisations will also need to get the environmental and the community pieces of the sustainability jigsaw right as well. However, there is no simple answer or "how to" guide for directors to this fast evolving and wide ranging topic.
