Sustainability Leadership in Uncertain Times

Matthew Gardner, Managing Partner at Sustainserv, published an article on Navigating uncertainty: A guide for sustainability leaders during the Trump era discussing how sustainability professionals can navigate the challenges posed by political uncertainty, shifting regulations, and the evolving ESG landscape. His insights highlight the need for a strategic approach to maintaining long-term business value amid these changes.

  • Keeping pace with evolving regulations, such as the EU’s CSRD and California’s disclosure laws.
  • Using data-driven arguments to demonstrate the business case for sustainability.
  • Aligning sustainability efforts with financial performance to gain executive buy-in.
