Sophie Beckham Chief Sustainability
Officer International Paper
Success tomorrow and beyond As the demands on the CSO evolve, Sophie sees agility and value continuing to stand firm as pillars of success.
“ In sustainability we have to be agile and understand that we’ re operating in changing conditions,” she goes on.“ If we can’ t make sustainability sustainable in the company, it’ s never going to be a critical and fundamental core part of business strategy.
“ I have transitioned my mindset from success only looking like achievement of any one specific sustainability target, to a both / and view that focuses on practical steps aligned with our customers’ goals, aligned with our investors’ expectations, and in tandem with our business strategy and our business leaders.”
