We all are experiencing an unprecedented reality – something that is beyond the super VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. The pace of change is exponential, the degree of expectations from people, employees and stakeholders are extreme. It’s not business as usual and hence we need to rethink and redefine how we work, live and thrive inthe new normal.In this session, we will go through the CORE Values of the Sustainable Agile Manifesto and understand how these values are helping organizations prepare for the new normal and accelerate their transformation journey.

Sustainability
shining stars
▰Nike and Adidas have both stepped up seriously. Nike has focused on
reducing waste and minimizing its footprint, whereas Adidas has
created a greener supply chain and targeted specific issues like
dyeing and eliminating plastic bags.
▰Unilever and Nestlé have both taken on major commitments; Unilever
notably on organic palm oil and its overall waste and resource
footprint, and Nestlé in areas such as product life cycle, climate,
water efficiency and waste.
▰Walmart, IKEA and H&M have moved toward more sustainable
retailing, largely by leading collaboration across their supply chains
to reduce waste, increase resource productivity and optimize
material usage. It also has taken steps to address local labour
conditions with suppliers from emerging markets.
▰Pepsi and Coca-Cola have both developed ambitious agendas, such as
increasing focus on water stewardship and setting targets on water
replenishment.
▰In biopharma, Biogen and Novo Nordisk have both worked toward
energy efficiency, waste reduction, and other ecological measures.
They have also focused on social impact via partner initiatives in the
areas of health and safety.
▰Car manufacturers like BMW and Toyota have made strides on
energy efficiency and pollution reduction, not to mention Tesla as an
outsider really challenging the industry’s overall footprint.
▰In financial services we see how banks like ANZ and Westpac in
Australia both advance local communities with good sustainability
practices and by embedding sustainability in their business processes
and culture.
▰Deutsche Bank to link management pay to sustainability targets (like
HSBC, BNP Paribas and UniCredit )
