Leadership and Capacity Building
Collective transformation is needed to deliver on global commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore nature, and create a more equal society.
This transformation requires that building blocks be put in place to address what has been referred to as the “structural deficit” in terms of a company’s capacity for sustainability. This deficit requires awareness, functional skills, attitudinal and behavioural change, and can only be comprehensively addressed by a shift in mindset and a “reimagining” of how business creates financial and non-financial value.
In response to this challenge, the BITCI Leader Group established the ‘Building Capabilities’ sub-group. The group has focused on developing a common view of sustainability for Irish business and, in partnership with Maynooth University and Skillnet, has created an assessment for business leaders to evaluate their capabilities in leading for the transformation to more sustainable business outcomes.
The following publications are available to
support you with this transformation.
Sustainability Capabilities for Business Leaders
