On Learning, Sustainability, and Change

On Sustainability, Learning, and Change.

Sustainability is evolving at lightning speed. Are we learning fast enough to keep up?

In the world of sustainability, standing still is not an option.

Regulations are tightening globally. Just when you think you’ve understood a framework, it’s updated, CSRD, SEC climate disclosure, ISSB, EU Taxonomy… the list grows monthly.

Scientific research is revealing new environmental and social impacts almost daily—from microplastics in human blood to planetary boundaries being breached.

Technology is disrupting everything, from carbon capture and satellite-based ESG monitoring to AI-powered supply chain transparency.

And the expectations from stakeholders, investors, consumers, employees, are becoming more sophisticated and urgent.

That’s why continuous learning isn’t just a good habit for sustainability professionals, it’s a leadership imperative.

Whether it's enrolling in new courses, following policy updates, reading interdisciplinary journals, or attending cross-sectoral forums, sustainability leaders must stay curious, adaptable, and informed.

We’re not just leading companies toward compliance, we're shaping the future of responsible business in real time.
