FOREWORD Maintainability

“ Sustainability needs to be kept top of the corporate agenda in 2022 and beyond ”

BUSINESS CHIEF MAGAZINE IS PUBLISHED BY
Momentum is essential for any business or movement , which is why sustainability needs to be kept top of the corporate agenda in 2022 and beyond . After a frankly disappointing COP26 meeting in Glasgow , one thing became clear – while there is some desire from governments to tackle climate change , it is business that will drive meaningful change . That ’ s not just because they want to , but because they have to – their customers demand it and will simply look elsewhere if organisations fail to meet their ESG expectations .
Becoming more sustainable is a business opportunity , not a roadblock , and more and more global companies are realising that and adjusting their processes , products and people accordingly .
It is an exciting time . Faced with existential threats and pandemics , it would be easy to hide ourselves away , bury our heads in the sand and simply hope for the best . That cannot happen . The best and brightest business leaders are embracing the opportunity and staying on the front foot . Sustainability needs maintainability – and that will be discussed in depth at our Sustainability LIVE event taking place 23-24 February in London , and as a hybrid event for our global readers . We urge you to take part , and join the revolution .
