🌟 Highlights from Module 2 of the WBCSD Leadership Program with Yale School of Management! 🎓🌟 At the end of June, our Leadership Program completed its Module 2 at Yale University and in New York City. The Program enables participants to understand and discuss sustainable development challenges and opportunities, which feed into strategic decision-making. During the week, our cohort of 50 participants: 🔍 Explored concepts and tools relevant for their practice. 🤝 Gained new insights into the business context through sharing knowledge and experiences. 👩🏫 Learned from renowned academics from Yale University and leadership experiential learning activities. 🗣️ Critically interacted and debated with professors, company representatives, leaders, and sustainability experts. 🌳 Walked the talk, cleaning a park for the local community in New Haven Julie Pasquier, Global Sustainability Transformation Director at Danone, shared her experience: “Module 2 of the WBCSD Leadership Program provided invaluable insights on navigating sustainability within business organizations. The focus was on leveraging 'soft' but crucial tools like influence, change management, and ethics. This module emphasized self-awareness through inner development goals and enhancing interactions through multicultural management, deep listening, and charisma. It was also about making businesses more sustainable by fostering meaningful innovations and eliminating inefficiencies. Being part of a diverse cohort of business leaders from various countries, cultures, and sectors created a dynamic learning environment. The inspiration from Yale University's distinguished faculty, the vibrant energy of NYC, and interactions with top-notch professionals were truly transformative. I'm eagerly anticipating Module 3!” 🔗 Learn more about the Leadership Program & stay tuned for registrations for the 2025 edition which will open in September: https://lnkd.in/eYTM9GQg Contact Suzanne Bodmer-Feinmann at [email protected] for any questions.

🌐The energy transition isn't just about reaching net-zero carbon goals or replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy. It should be characterized by justice and inclusivity, respecting and supporting the needs of all individuals and communities. WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development and ManpowerGroup believe in a just energy transition that puts people first. We are advocating for a transformative approach that combines technological innovation and human-centered strategies. Our vision includes ⬇️ 🔹Evolving green jobs from existing roles with sustainability in mind. 🔹Using data-driven insights to guide reskilling efforts and workforce development. 🔹Rapidly adapting education systems to equip the next generation with essential green skills. 🔹Collaboration among businesses, governments, and educational institutions to create inclusive talent pipelines for the green economy. 🔹 Integrating employment and skill-based factors in all investment decisions. Investing in reskilling is crucial to preventing potential job losses and fostering community resilience as we aim for an energy transition at pace. A people-first approach to the just energy transition emphasizes human capital as a driver for positive societal change. 👥 🚀 Read more on how we can achieve a just and inclusive energy transition: https://lnkd.in/eix2Xcsk David Herranz Elisabeth P.

🍃 WBCSD welcomes the latest release from Science Based Targets Network target nature with updated technical guidance and resources for companies to set science-based targets for #nature. Science-based targets for nature are a critical aspect of the evolving corporate performance and accountability system for nature. 💪 With support from Quantis, WBCSD has been working with 12 leading member companies to pilot SBTN’s methods over the last year, complementing the official SBTN Initial target validation pilot which involved 8 WBCSD members and project members. These engagements have been valuable to all, elevating key considerations such as the importance of understanding local impacts and the need for traceability. Setting science-based nature targets requires an advanced level of nature action maturity. WBCSD is committed to working with SBTN and its partners to ensure that all companies, regardless of their maturity on nature, develop nature strategies that are aligned with material dependencies and impacts on nature and identify the most relevant priority actions to focus on. This alignment between material nature issues and linked actions serves as the foundation of any credible nature target. Ahead of #NYCW in September, WBCSD will share insights and opportunities revealed by its SBTN Preparer Group, focusing on accelerating and scaling corporate nature target setting. Watch this space. In the meantime, how about some summer reading? Our #Roadmaps to #NaturePositive provide comprehensive step-by-step “how to” guidance for taking credible, impactful action on nature: https://lnkd.in/eaPDePXQ Diane Holdorf, Julian Hill-Landolt, Angela Graham-Brown, Nadine McCormick, Maria Ana Campos, Marcial Vargas-Gonzalez, Erin Billman, Jessica McGlyn, Varsha Vijay, PhD, Oscar K.
