Abstract

With mankind facing a number of inter-related challenges, and imminent tipping points after which it may be too late to avoid catastrophe, we may have reached an inflection point in relation to a board’s strategy for maximizing impact and achieving responsible and sustainable bottom-line growth. There may also be an opportunity to articulate a shared purpose that could align and unify hitherto contending aims, interests and priorities. There are many questions in various areas for directors and boards to address.

If business leaders can restore trust and build confidence and credibility with a shared purpose that embraces strategy and execution, they might create opportunities for collaboration, cooperation and partnerships with complementary enterprises, Governments, regulators, public bodies and other stakeholders. Working with their peers and supporters to address common challenges and create and build economies with responsible and sustainable businesses could benefit wider society, future generations and the natural environment.
