🗞️ Driving the news: Sustainability leaders from companies like onsemi, Liquid I.V. (a subsidiary of Unilever), and Ulta Beauty shared three key strategies to win support from the C-suite for environmental initiatives

🔭 The context: Sustainability teams often sit below executive leadership, requiring them to influence decisions indirectly
• Leaders highlighted that success depends on linking sustainability to business value, building cross-functional relationships, and embedding influence across the organization

🌍 Why it matters for the planet: Stronger internal alignment accelerates corporate climate action
• It enables companies to scale emissions reductions, sustainable products, and supply chain improvements, key drivers of real-world environmental impact

⏭️ What’s next: Companies are constantly exploring ways to integrate sustainability into core business strategy
• Sustainability leaders, viewed as connectors between departments and embedding climate goals into sales, operations, and finance decisions, would need to adapt practical strategies

💬 One quote: “You basically have the seed of a mandate… it’s up to you to find the drivers, the value proposition and quantify that.” — Kim Luu

📈 One stat: Liquid I.V. allocates 1% of annual revenue to its sustainability and water impact programs
