Council on Sustainability Transformation

Explore actionable insights to drive sustainability transformation in business

Turning ambition into action

Convened by ERM, the Council on Sustainability Transformation (the Council) brings together respected leaders from business, government, and academia to accelerate private-sector action on critical sustainability challenges. By identifying obstacles to progress and leveraging the expertise of its members and other experts, the Council develops practical recommendations to help companies overcome barriers and future-proof their operations.

Central to its mission are cross-business dialogues and awareness-building initiatives. The Council engages through global forums, workshops, and campaigns to inspire business leaders and stakeholders to navigate the complexities of sustainability transformation. These efforts inform a series of papers aimed at C-suite executives, board members, and key stakeholders—including customers, employees, investors, policymakers, regulators, and civil society—providing insights and actionable guidance for driving meaningful change.
