Core content 

The Sustainability Leadership Companion is a detailed guide that addresses the case for action, leaders’ purpose and key attributes, innovation, storytelling, systems change, and more. It delves into what is needed at organisational level, gives practical examples and cases at project level and personal leadership level. The Companion has been written for readers to dip in and out, ready to provide nuggets of inspiration at any given time.  It is designed to: 

  • Make key sustainability leadership insights more accessible  
  • Help as an explainer, what Sustainability Leadership is, and what is needed for a different future 
  • Unpack the complexity of systems thinking, and innovation in the built environment  
  • Help individuals explore the key behaviours needed for effective sustainability leadership 

The Sustainability Leadership WhatsApp course accompanies The Companion, to practically take busy professionals and leaders through a ‘light’ version of The Companion. It is a 6-week short course with a time commitment of 1 hour a week. Learnings are deployed through WhatsApp messages, with facilitators helping guide participants to share thoughts and experiences. The course brings to life the more extended thinking of The Companion in a bitesize way and gives practical examples to enable readers to apply learnings. The WhatsApp course: 

  • Provides light touch nuggets of learning for busy leaders 
  • Acts as an aide memoire – things to think about, triggers for acting differently, practical tips 
  • Aims to inspire and re-energise, reassure and equip those that use it with activities to explore their own positioning to the topics covered
  • Connects participants with others on their own leadership journey, enabling discussion and peer support
