The outbreak of Covid-19 has transformed our world and overtaken our lives, presenting unprecedented medical, human, and social challenges. At the same time, the pandemic crisis has been threatening the survival of thousands of organizations at a global scale with devastating societal and economic outcomes. Companies have been reacting in several ways to the emerging crisis and ongoing global challenges from retrenchment to persevering, from innovating to exit, all while being increasingly scrutinized to live up to their Purpose and demonstrate their Impact to society by creating Long-Term Value.

Within a context where the Investors community clearly recognise that how a company is managing social and environmental issues connects with financial performance, navigating the challenges of contemporary organizations entails much more than a mishmash of sustainability tactics that balance competitiveness and sustainable growth. Pursuing Long- Term Value Creation entails an ongoing journey that requires a clear and consistent direction. By connecting Purpose to Impact, the concept, principles, and contents of Integrated Thinking pave the pathway to Sustainable Success through its multi-capital approach, and its focus on the interests and the contributions of a series of heterogeneous stakeholders.
