What is a sustainability leader?

According to ASAP a sustainability leader is "an individual that regardless of context or formal position strives to drive the sustainability agenda forward by challenging thought patterns or actions, small or big, that is guiding us in an unsustainable direction".

  • #1 Global and systemic mindset
  • #2 Extreme collaboration skills
  • #3 Curiosity and critical thinking
  • #4 Courage
