Introduction to Sustainability for Directors
Module 1 of the ILA Sustainability Program
It is difficult to ignore the 'S' word these days. We are inundated with information, stories, threats and cheers for all things 'Sustainable' - business models, investing, consumption, growth, leadership, etc. There are new demands to account for a triple bottom line - People, Planet AND Profit (the UN would add Peace and Prosperity). It can be overwhelming to understand what it actually means and how it should be applied.
ILA proposes 3 courses that are designed to address the fundamentals of sustainability and provide an understanding of the tools and frameworks available for independent board directors to familiarize themselves with the developments in the field, recognize best practice through case studies and modelling - and to ask the right questions.
Objectives of the program
Increase knowledge and expertise on Sustainability as a core strategic topic for companies / boards
Raise awareness on Sustainability by sharing fundamentals and demonstrating the added value by example
Tools and support positioning sustainability on the board agenda
Community Building / Convening
Building and convening broad community interested in sustainability within ILA
