This month’ s cover star Nici Bush, Chief Innovation, Science and Technology Officer at Mars, embodies something that has been driving sustainability for years and is heavily reflected in this month’ s edition – value-driven and sciencebacked sustainability. As leaders in technology, sports, food and beverage, telecom, energy and other sectors echo in these pages, using science to drive innovation – and innovation to drive value – will see sustainability gain traction in the boardroom and beyond. At Sustainability LIVE: Net Zero last month, EY’ s Gerard Gallagher summed it up in his keynote –“ Sustainability has to find a new friend – a friend called capitalism.” Must-reads for this edition include:

• Leaders from Manchester City, Benfica, Eintracht Frankfurt and Malmö sharing how they are making sustainability score.

• Our series of interviews from Sustainability LIVE: Net Zero featuring sustainability leaders and their advice.
