Companies risk their businesses by not only ignoring the effects of climate change but also the expectations that young people entering the workforces have of companies and the universal mega-trends that affect the global economy and society.
How do we define mega-trends and how do they differ from other societal trends, such as vehicle electrification and artificial intelligence? Our special sustainability contributor Apu Gosalia answers these questions and picks four universal mega-trends: sustainability, digitalisation, globalisation and “glocalization,” and safety and security. The internal climate of a business should adapt to the external pressures of climate change, Apu thinks.
This edition of the sustainability podcast is the first part of an ongoing discussion of mega-trends, this time from a sustainability perspective.
