In preparation for the 2024 edition of the North American Sustainability & Responsibility Summit series we sat down with the leader of Deloitte’s Sustainability practice in the United States, Steven Goldbach. Every organization right now is on its own Sustainability Journey, and whether they have been making steady progress for many years, or they are just beginning to focus on where they want to go, there are so many issues and ideas to understand. While every journey is unique, that does not mean everyone needs to invent their own solutions to the challenges other organizations have already faced. Where can organizations and leaders best share their collected discoveries of what works and what drives further progress? How does collaboration work on something this broad and deep with this many stakeholders and potential partners? Deloitte has conversations every day with groups of all shapes and sizes. What should we all be thinking about further when we think about our impacts and our shared future? Give this episode a listen for more!
