CSB Solution Saloon with Paul Polman - What Leadership do Companies Need To Thrive In 2022?

An inclusive event for C-Suite executives from CSB member companies, the CSB Solution Saloon was an opportunity to hear from Strategic Advisory Council member Paul Polman, who was described by the Financial Times as the "a standout CEO of the past decade." Paul shared insights from his experiences as CEO of #Unilever from 2009 - 2019 and as a member of several high-level UN and civil society initiatives, in addition to key takeaways from his new book "Net Positive." Paul's presentation was followed by a Q&A session and a peer discussion among attendees led by CSB Director Professor CB Bhattacharya. #netpositive #PaulPolman #Pitt #SustainableBusiness - About our Strategic Advisory Council: The Center for Sustainable Business (CSB) helps companies transition to more sustainable business models by leveraging the role of corporate purpose and the integration of sustainability throughout the organization. To assist in this mission, the CSB is guided by the substantive expertise, intellectual vision, critical depth, and professional connections of a high-level group of industry and civil society leaders who serve on the CSB’s Strategic Advisory Council (SAC). The SAC advises the Center for Sustainable Business on current #sustainability trends in corporate settings, provides direction for innovative teaching and research agendas, increases the visibility of the CSB’s activities, and acts as a sounding board for CSB outputs to ensure that the CSB is delivering on its mission across all three programmatic areas of thought leadership, research, and education. In this latter role, the SAC will help to assess and evaluate whether the CSB is delivering on its value proposition to corporate sponsors and community partners by reviewing semi-annual progress reports and offering feedback to CSB senior leadership.
