The role of the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) is changing in dramatic ways. While more visible and valued than ever before, heightened expectations and pressures are placing the CSO function at risk of becoming overly focused on compliance at the expense of innovation and strategic foresight. In this series, we chat with sustainability decision-makers about the evolution of their role, how they've addressed their biggest challenges and captured important opportunities, and how to maintain ambition in a time of turbulence.
