A Sustainable Value Lens is a new way of seeing opportunities based on sustainability values and principles and helps an organization see new ideas as they consider environmental and social factors, along with new stakeholder marketplace demands. Sustainability is becoming a strategic imperative for an increasing percentage of organizations and understanding and learning how to create sustainable value is at the heart of this transition to align with new market signals and requirements.
We’ll examine sustainable value concepts, look at some examples, and potentially complete an exercise or two together about creating more sustainable growth for your organization and/or your life.
