“The sustainability challenges posed to business, including decarbonisation, are some of the biggest problems that our generation must solve.  It will require leaders to challenge conventional thinking on business value in order to create and embed sustainable solutions.  The course I chose deliberately focused on strengthening my understanding of business fundamentals so that I can continue to remain solutions focused, driving my team to support our growth aspirations whilst also problem solving and identifying the opportunities associated with the sustainability challenges that we face.”
