Reframing Leadership
Regardless of your job title, industry, or experience in a sustainability role, ASI believes that anyone at any stage of their career can lead change toward sustainability and climate action.
Come As You Are
No questions are off the table when it comes to Transition Leadership and enacting organizational change. We are here to foster a brave space for those wanting to learn and connect with other sustainability professionals in a laidback setting.
ASI’s Members Network is based on our model of six Transition Leadership competencies.
This network will hone in on your power skills (aka soft skills) to lead a just and inclusive transition. We will not be talking about standards, protocols, physical infrastructure, etc. but are happy to put you in touch with other networks that fill that need.
What We Mean by “Sustainability” Professional
When we think of the word “sustainability” we often think of those working to reduce GHG emissions or reaching net-zero targets.
And while this is an important part of what it means to transition to a sustainable future, sustainability professionals and their work in climate action can encompass much more than that.
Sustainability work is ever-changing and can include roles in:
- Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG)
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
- Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)
- Resiliency
- Risk Management
- Social Impact
- Sustainability
- Climate Action
- …and more!
“We cannot, we must not, go it alone. To focus only on what we can do as individuals, instead of what we can do together, will mean failure…
Indeed, building community around solutions is the most important thing.”
