Responsible leadership under the spotlight with launch of impact index to hold business accountable

'Responsible Leadership 2035' is on the agenda at the Bambuddha Group's Round Table with the launch of a White Paper that shines the spotlight on leadership responsibility to reimagine the future of work through flexibility, collaboration and ESG-driven leadership as calls for return to work face ongoing headwinds.

'The Future of Work 2035 – Responsible Leadership Imperatives to Drive Growth' White Paper sets a clear vision for workplace practice in 2035, leaving no doubt that a new era in corporate leadership is no longer a nice-to-have, but critical for the survival of business, no matter the size.

"As Australia grapples with complex challenges, the role of CEOs as responsible leaders has never been more crucial," says Anna Sheppard, Founder and CEO of Bambuddha Group, the social enterprise that offers game-changing leadership coaching to achieve equality, fairness and kindness in workplaces across the globe. Sheppard is the author of the Responsible Leadership 2035 White Paper, published in December 2024.

Grounded by insights from the Impact Index, 'The Future of Work 2035 – Responsible Leadership Imperatives to Drive Growth' roundtable explores the transformative power of leadership grounded in ESG principles. The event will see CEOs from three diverse industries across Diagnostics, Technology, and Entertainment to explore the future of Responsible Leadership and identify key focus areas for the next decade, with an emphasis on reimagining the future of work (WFH, flexibility, and collaboration), prioritising ESG and societal impact as core business strategies and understanding DEI in the now and how this becomes embedded into a long-term strategy.
