Inspiring Leadership for Sustainability

"Our mission is to deepen leaders’ understanding of the social, environmental and economic context in which they operate and help them to respond in ways that benefit their organisations and society as a whole."
Polly Courtice, Director, CPSL

The University of Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership (CPSL) works with leaders from business, government and civil society to address the critical global challenges that affect the success of their organisations. From low carbon technology to food and resource security; from green buildings to sustainable mobility; from health and wellbeing to sustainable finance. Across these complex and connected issues, we help leaders to assess the evolving business and policy environment and influence the direction of their organisations and the future of their sector.

We have over twenty years of experience of working with leaders. Our staff and faculty have a practical appreciation of the dynamic and strategic context in which leaders operate, combined with a powerful understanding of the most effective processes of learning and change.
