Sustainability Intelligence - Responsible Leadership in Process Industries

Corporate leaders are already required to demonstrate IQ and EQ. But as success on the sustainability front becomes even more vital to remaining competitive, driving consumer demand, and complying with stringent regulatory requirements, Sustainability Intelligence (SQ) is going to be the next leadership competency in great demand.

Odgers Berndtson interviewed Global Chief Procurement Officers from chemical, ingredient and other process companies to understand how the industry’s views on sustainability are evolving and how companies are incentivizing their suppliers, executives and employees to fulfil their sustainable supply chain obligations.

In addition, Odgers Berndtson compiled information from public sources on 29 of the world’s top chemical companies for insights into their sustainability practices, from reporting to executive pay. This research reveals that process industry executives recognize that they have a moral and professional responsibility to drive sustainability through their entire supply chain and are working towards this goal.
