“I co-initated ESG4Boards in 2023 out of frustration and partly because I’m convinced that this is the only way we can tackle societal challenges. Too often, trade-offs are still made at the expense of sustainability. Board discussions still focus on governance, compliance, and financial expertise but ESG is becoming more complex, not just because of regulations. If a company wants to take sustainability seriously, it needs to be embedded where strategy and innovation are set in the boardroom.”
