50 Years After the First Earth Day, What Challenges Are Next for Environmental and Sustainability Professionals?
So what's next?
- The ability to perform environmental compliance checks remotely has become essential, and companies must determine how to best implement it.
- Supply chain management may undergo a tremendous shift as the world adjusts to the realities of COVID-19.
- Many environmental and sustainability goals, set years or decades ago, used 2020 as a benchmark year — and 2020 data will no longer reflect “business as usual”. There will be a lot of adjustments to these goals, as well as to how new ones are set.
- EHS & Sustainability professionals not only must set those new sustainability goals, but execute them as well. It is no simple task to operationalize sustainability into a business.
- External ESG reporting remains unstandardized, with sustainability professionals under pressure to keep their companies’ ESG ratings positive.
