Earlier this year, JMJ and The Bennett Institute for Public Policy at the University of Cambridge released a study titled, Sustainability: Corporate culture and leadership perspectives. The research asked global business leaders across a range of sectors to share attitudes, barriers, and enablers of successful corporate sustainability strategies from a leadership and culture standpoint.

In the latest edition of JMJ’s Culture Transformation Consulting podcast, Jeff Williams, CEO of JMJ and the Bennett Institute’s Prof. Diane Coyle discuss the study’s purpose, methodology and key findings including:

• How organizations define corporate sustainability and ESG
• The internal and external pressures that make corporate sustainability a business imperative
• Challenges to successful implementation
• How people at different levels of organizations perceive the role of leadership and culture in driving sustainability transformation
• Advice for leaders setting out on a sustainability transformation journey

This is the first in a series of podcasts looking at the different aspects of sustainability. Be sure to tune in for future broadcasts when Jeff will focus on the findings from the perspectives of: Culture; stakeholders and drivers; leadership and people.
