Business leaders are holding
back from fully commiing
to sustainabili because of
perceived trade-os with
protabili. is report dispels
the myths underpinning this
misperception. It outlines three
business case updates companies
must make to give operational
and functional leaders the
license to accelerate sustainable
transformation and generate new
sources of protable growth.
Accelerating sustainable transformation: Dispelling old myths to seize new value 3
Copyright © 2023 Accenture. All rights reserved.
Sustainability is a growing force for change in businesses: stakeholder demands
are sharpening, regulations are hardening and value is shifting to new sustainable
markets. While executives recognize the potential of sustainability to shape
business reinvention, a perceived trade-off with protability reinforces today’s tight
focus on short-term nancial results.
Ultimately, this makes it hard to justify integrating environmental and social impact
into corporate decision-making. As such, sustainability often remains ‘bolted on’ in
certain pockets of the organization – not ‘built in’ intentionally and systematically.
Is it really true that companies must sacrice protability to pursue
sustainability – or is it a myth? And must responsible leaders really tear up
the traditional business case to make incorporating sustainable impact a
viable strategy?
We worked with over 140 members of the World Economic Forums Young
Global Leader and Global Shaper communities to answer these questions.
These ‘next-gen leaders’ identied ve headwinds to embedding sustainability:
complexity, cost, practicality, reliability and speed. However, using cutting-edge
neuroscience research techniques to test1 these ndings with a group of 280
senior executives in large companies, we discovered that, in reality, some of the
supposed headwinds are actually strong but largely unacknowledged tailwinds.
While it is true that this second group of execs associate embedding
sustainability with being slow and unreliable, they also see sticking to
‘business as usual’ as being relatively more complex and more costly.
We see this playing out clearly in sectors like automotive, where a combination
of regulation, demand and electric vehicle (EV) innovation are making the
internal combustion engine uncompetitive.
A new business case, realized with new tech
These results underline both the opportunity and the challenge: companies are
nding it harder and more expensive to deliver value from ‘business as usual’,
but they are concerned that embedding sustainability will be slow to offer a
return, if at all.
To explore this, we placed the 140 next-gen leaders in a series of protability/
sustainability trade-off scenarios (e.g., your most protable business line is also your
most polluting) and asked them how to reconcile the situation. The result? Next-gen
leaders advocate three updates to the traditional business case to give them – and
their operational and functional lead peers – the license to accelerate sustainable
transformation across their respective parts of the organization:
. Pervasive Purpose: make sustainability more human by focusing on solving
specic societal challenges – then determine how to do so protably
. Extended Horizons: consider the viability of the business over the long-term and
allow new sustainability initiatives time to scale
. 360° Value: broaden the denition of business success beyond short-term
nancials and collaborate across your ecosystem and industry to drive change
