I have been talking to a number of business leaders recently about sustainable development. Apart from the fact that sustainability is nowadays on everbody's lips, I can divide companies into (a) those that do not comply with the law, (b) those that comply with the legal minimum, (c) then come companies that try a bit more; and (d) companies that have integrated sustainable development into all pores of the business.

We’ve all been talking a lot about sustainable development lately, but let’s ask ourselves, do companies know enough about it? Do we have people who master the subject? Is it a time for an independent position of Head of sustainable development? What does such a person do at all?
