#12:Unlock the Power of Total Corporate Responsibility
Become the Next Generation Sustainability Leader!
Ready to pioneer the future of corporate sustainability? Whether you're already at the forefront of corporate sustainability or just about to make a transformative leap, your journey toward becoming a next-generation sustainability leader begins here.
At SCI, we're driven by a clear mission: Empowering companies to lead the way in 21st century corporate sustainability. We achieve this by guiding you in co-creating the systemic conditions where sustainability and profitability can coexist. Enabling business success and making a significant contribution to a sustainable future.
Here's what we know
Corporate sustainability is ripe for evolution, but current systems hinder true sustainability. They prioritize profit over planet, perpetuating extractive practices. Even with a desire to decarbonize or not doing harm more generally, companies face the challenge of justifying it to stakeholders. As a result, corporate sustainability reaches its limits when profit margins are impacted and more profound systemic changes would be required. Sounds familiar?
The good news is, change is on the horizon. Institutional investors are increasingly recognizing that systemic flaws are undermining full impact mitigation and start to see the urgent need for systemic change (changing norms, regulations, and public discourse). They grasp that without broader action, our environmental and social well-being, as well as their investment portfolios, are at risk. (see e.g. Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance’s Target-Setting Protocol Fourth Edition).
This signals what once seemed out of reach, i.e. the focus on root causes and systemic change, is starting to take center stage. A development Frank Dixon, an ESG pioneer and creator of System Change Investing (SCI) and TCR, anticipated a long time ago.
So what do we offer?
We guide corporations to embrace the concept of Total Corporate Responsibility. To grasp this, it's crucial to understand how TCR and SCI complement each other:
System Change Investing assesses companies based on their endeavors to instigate systemic change within their respective sectors and on a broader scale. This evaluation acknowledges the inherent flaws within current systems, recognizing that no company is yet truly sustainable. By incentivizing systemic change, investors send a powerful signal, nudging companies to collaborate with peers, experts, and various segments of society to implement holistic solutions.
In response, corporations adopt system change strategies as part of their TCR approach. This entails assuming responsibility for all impacts by integrating existing sustainability efforts with systemic change initiatives. They broaden their perspective, viewing the company as an integral part of a larger system, and craft a corporate strategy that prioritizes the long-term well-being of both the company and society at large.
Of course, corporations should not wait for the system change signal. Truly forward-looking management teams already see what's coming and get ready for the sea-change now.
