In honor of Earth Day, we are thrilled to unveil the Sustainability50 (S50) for 2024. These remarkable professionals lead organizations that have raised the bar on sustainability and they’re laying the groundwork for improved efficiency and further reductions in emissions, waste, and risk.
The S50 acknowledges leaders who are pioneering practical approaches to sustainability. They’re getting smarter about their sustainability initiatives, learning how to prioritize the most impactful changes while streamlining change management. They’re also connecting the dots across departmental areas, helping leaders and employees alike to better understand environmental impacts and risks as well as the benefits of more sustainable approaches. These individuals are driving change in their organizations and beyond, making a positive impact on the world through their commitment to sustainability and responsible leadership.
This list was compiled through a rigorous nomination process that began with exhaustive research on publicly available sustainability data. It also included recommendations from peers, industry influencers, technology vendors, analysts, and reference checks. Our committee sought out S50 leaders using technologies including, but not limited to, sustainability related metrics reporting, analysis, and planning as well as enablement solutions supporting sustainable business practices.
The 2024 S50 by Constellation Research celebrates individuals striking a balance between meeting business objectives and promoting sustainability efforts. The S50 honorees come from a diverse range of industries, including entertainment, financial services, healthcare, higher education, public sector, retail, sports, and more. As a reward for their achievements, the selected executives will enjoy substantive benefits and a coveted invitation to join the Constellation Executive Network as VIP members.
