How to Avoid Common Sustainability Sticking Points
In our most recent sustainability whitepaper “Businesses are getting derailed on their journey to net zero: How to overcome the top four roadblocks,” John Fleming, our Vice President of Global Commercial Innovation, Sustainable Infrastructure, discusses why so many businesses are behind on their net zero journey, despite 80 percent of companies listing sustainability as their top priority*.
While detailing common obstacles businesses face – from the wrong financing model to internal politics – and how to overcome them, he points to the importance of forming a unified, organization-wide approach.
“To move forward with their decarbonization program, companies need a group of decision-makers with members from multiple departments, including procurement, finance, legal, operations, strategy, facilities, construction and real estate,” he explains. “Effective training and clearly written decarbonization goals at the individual, facility and organizational levels will help unify the strategic and tactical approaches, while also reducing competing priorities.”
