About the Spectrum
The Spectrum is a sense-making Tool that can be used for:
Planning a roadmap towards engaging with corporate sustainability, including planning for adopting the Sustainability-as-the-World-Needs Agenda
Diagnosing causes of lack of progress vis-a-vis corporate sustainability
Recalibrating towards a more relevant ambition level, including when in the Big Trap of Sustainability-as-usual
Awareness building
The Spectrum captures the high level dynamics and dependencies inherent to each corporate sustainability ambition level:
The guiding principles and objectives
Their strategic and operational implications
Their implications for shareholder value
Requirements for internal stakeholder buy-in
Prerequisites on the level of internal awareness that are necessary in order to adopt an ambition level
Limitations of each approach
Relevance of non-financial reporting instruments such as standards, frameworks and guidelines for each ambition level

Grasping the Big Trap of Sustainability-as-Usual: 7 Myths to let go
In this article, we focus on dispelling the first two of the seven key myths of Sustainability-as-usual. Before we do that, as a means of introduction, we will:
Define Sustainability-as-usual, and why it is a trap
Briefly describe why companies fall into the Big Trap
Touch on what their best available strategies are
List the four key challenges in corporate sustainability that this concept can help us address
The 7 Myths we cover in this series are:
Myth 1: In order to drive transformational sustainability, we need a profound change in worldview
Myth 2: Incrementalism is a step in the right direction
Myth 3: Shared value creation is a valid guiding principle for corporate sustainability
Myth 4: Being sustainable enough is about “doing our fair share”
Myth 5: Every large organisation needs a Chief sustainability officer
Myth 6: Adopting as many reporting instruments as possible is a the way to go
Myth 7: Large, mainstream consulting firms are a safe bet for sustainability strategy work
A liveable future and wellbeing for all cannot be achieved without an immediate radical systems change, with specific urgent milestones attained by 2030, before mass-extinction outcomes are locked-in (become unavoidable later this century).
Big Business CEOs and Board Members possess unique privileges and predispositions that enable them to play a leading and critical role in co-delivering this transformation. Even more so, without their active “Systemic Leadership”, attaining the necessary 2030 milestones may not be at all feasible.
Co-delivering a systems change and the 2030 milestones is in fact a matter of business imperative and fiduciary duty - as future conditions conducive to shareholder value retention fully depend on this swift transformation.
Once provided with relevant insights and information flows, Big Business CEOs and Board Members will recognise this business imperative and form a Cohort of First-Movers, to begin actively intervening in the system, towards the 2030 milestones, in multi-stakeholder alliances with other actors.
These relevant insights and information flows therefore play the role of building a bridge across paradigms - enabling the potential to transcend paradigms.
We invite you to read more below, and share your thoughts with us, so we can continue improving the theory of change.
