For this edition of the Leadership Playbook, Vyla Rollins, executive director of LBS’ Leadership Institute, sat down with Olivier Blum, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric, to discuss how Schneider have raised the bar for corporate sustainability and why they believe their customers, suppliers, and even some competitors are driving change and propelling Schneider towards a better, greener future. 

Listen now for insights on creating a sustainability strategy that gets your people excited and why aligning stakeholder objectives is the key to success.

How do you invent the future of sustainability?

Hindsight is an incredibly powerful thing. How many of us still cringe at something we’ve said or regret ever hitting ‘send’ on a certain e-mail? We’ve all made mistakes – although not necessarily at the same level and with the same impact.
 
Mistakes are all part of learning in any business. Three start-up founders looked back at what happened in the past year and joined us to share their experiences and learnings. Hear what happened to them and how you can avoid it happening to you.

Featuring:
Rosie Bailey SLN2019, Co-founder and CEO of Nibble, an AI chatbot with a sense of humour.
Pedro Cabrero MIFFT2019, Co-founder and CFO of Yayzy, an app that helps you track your personal carbon footprint and reduce and compensate your impact on the planet.
Nasi Rwigema MBA2020, Founder of Umwuga, a social network for tradespeople and service industry workers.
