Sustainability Transition Survey

Introduction

The world is transforming towards more sustainable forms of growth. This is the biggest challenge, but also the biggest commercial opportunity of our times, opening unprecedented opportunities to progressive companies that equip themselves to be at the forefront of this strategic trend. A clearer understanding of priorities, barriers, and enablers of the sustainability transition that you are perceiving as a company will enable business schools to better support and equip you and your company to take advantage of the opportunities that emerge from it. We are grateful if you would take 5 minutes to complete this short survey. Please do so before 15 November, so that we can share back anonymised insights soon after!
