Introduction

Sustainability leadership involves guiding organisations towards environmentally and socially responsible practices, integrating sustainable strategies into core business models to achieve long-term success while positively impacting society and the planet. It demands visionary thinking, ethical decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and commitment to transformational change. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to a company's commitment to manage the social, environmental, and economic effects of its operations responsibly and in alignment with public expectations. It encompasses initiative-taking efforts to contribute positively to society while maintaining corporate profitability and ethics.
