EP 9 - From Niche to Necessity: Transforming Businesses with Sustainability and Cross-Functional Leadership

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For Episode 9 of Eco-Insiders, we had an insightful chat with <a href= "https://nl.linkedin.com/in/elisabeth-van-ebbenhorst-tengbergen">Elisabeth van Ebbenhorst Tengbergen</a>, a Partner at <a href= "https://www.kienbaum.com/impressum/#datenschutzerklaerungen">KIENBAUM</a>. Elisabeth, an experienced executive search partner, shared her valuable insights on the sustainability maturity curve at corporations and emphasized the need for sustainability to move beyond compliance to impact every aspect of a business. It should become a strategic, long-term executive and board-level issue.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Elisabeth highlighted the importance of having the right talent to drive change, defining roles, and determining what kind of talent to bring into the organization – from pioneers to those with transferable skills and generalists to specialists.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was an interesting conversation, especially when many of us in the Northern Hemisphere are experiencing record-breaking heat waves this summer. The cultural journey and the transformative process for organizations are key discussion topics.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style= "line-height: 115%;
