The 10 Year HorizonInstabilities in an increasingly multipolar world:Changing demographics, growing middle classes and fiscal constraints will place increasing domestic demands on governments, deepening requirements for internal reform and shaping international relations. Generation lost? The generation coming of age in the 2010s faces high unemployment and precarious job situations. The generation of digital natives is full of ambition to improve the world but feels disconnected from traditional politics.

Digital disintegrationSo far, cyberspace has proved resilient to attacks, but the underlying dynamic of the online world has always been that it is easier to attack than defend.

Collaborative multi-stakeholder action is needed. Businesses, governments and civil society alike can improve how they approach risk by opening lines of communication with each other to build trust, systematically learning from others’ experiences, and finding ways to incentivize long-term thinking.

Changing “For a long time, CSR in Europe was primarily about how to manage the impact of your business: it was compliance driven.

Companies saw CSR as a part of communications and public affairs.

Now its contributes to sustainability and social innovation on local, regional or even global levels.

The hybrid engine is a highly social innovation: it lowers the environmental impact for society offering growth potential to the company.”

Stefan Crets. Corporate Social Responsibility leader. Toyota Motor Europe.

Design Thinking

Action

“Innovation is the new sustainability, everyone loves innovation but many have been turn off sustainability by the lack of real progress.

Blueprints and examples are vital, action not jargon, things like the circular economy and natural capital.”

Finding True North, The RSAPeter LaceyManaging Director Accenture Strategy & Sustainability Services

Leadership“As business we need to start becoming part of the solution to today’s challenges. Not just because it’s time for business to be givers and not takers from the system that gives us life in the first place, but because the only way to guarantee long-term prosperity is to grow our businesses in line with the needs and aspirations of the communities we serve.

There is a huge opportunity for businesses that embrace this new model of responsible capitalism, but it does require a different approach. This goes well beyond CSR. It’s about moving to a licence to lead, where business sees itself as part of society and not separate from it.

Paul Polman, CEO Unilver

Transformation“Transformational leadership looks to create new markets from sustainable solutions.

It's not about trade off, its about smart investment to create advantage today from solving tomorrow's challenges.

It's not about abstract meaningless metrics it's about flood resistance, food security, healthy people and places.”
