Goals / Remit
The University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) is a globally influential Institute developing leadership and solutions for a sustainable economy.
Our Rewiring the Economy framework shows how the economy can be ‘rewired’, through focused collaboration between business, government and finance institutions, to deliver positive outcomes for people and environment in pursuit of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
For over three decades we have built individual and organisational leadership capacity and capabilities, and created industry-leading collaborations, to catalyse change and accelerate the path to a sustainable economy. Our Rewiring Leadership framework sets out our model for the leadership needed to achieve this.
Our interdisciplinary research engagement builds the evidence base for practical action, through a focus on six cross-cutting themes critical to the delivery of the SDGs: sustainable finance, economic innovation, inclusive dev (...)Main EU files targeted
The Corporate Leaders Group is essentially about driving strategic, long-term, transformational change in the economy.The Group is focusing on the changes necessary to ensure long-term economic prosperity, competitive advantage and corporate sustainability at an EU-wide level.
Files currently followed by our organisation:

The Centre for Sustainable Finance bridges the worlds of business, finance and policymaking in order to enable the transition to a sustainable economy, facilitating stronger mutual understanding between financial institutions, their clients in the real economy and the institutions which govern them. For example, the Centre is academic visitor at the Bank of England helping to support its work in leading the sustainable finance agenda. It has worked with De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) on the financial impact of disruptive energy transition, collaborated with the South African National Treasury and Banco de Mexico on embedding environmental scenarios into financial risk frameworks and was the knowledge partner for the G20 Green Finance Study Group in 2016 and 2017. Finally, as a founding member of the Global Research Alliance for Sustainable Finance and Investment, the Centre is an official research stakeholder for the Network for Greening the Financial System.
The Centre for Business Transformation's most recent outputs are around nature base solutions involve:
1. Decision-making in a nature positive world – corporate diagnostic tool targeted at executive management.
2. Water Catchment reports – being launched 13 June.
a. LENS – While nature-based programs are currently small-scale, they are set to expand rapidly under new Government agriculture and environment policies and targets post-Brexit. Developed against this backdrop, the East of England Landscape Enterprise Network (LENS) project is a national pioneer in nature-based solutions. It provides a successful, scalable model that brings together cereal and water companies, local councils and farmers to support sustainable agriculture, offering a potential blueprint for other rural areas.
b. PHNMS – Water quality is a key area of concern for UK policymakers. The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan (25YEP) calls for restoring at least 75 per cent of national waters to ‘close to their natural state’, and developers and water companies must now pursue ‘nutrient neutral’ development in parts of the country. The ground-breaking Poole Harbour Nutrient Management Scheme (PHNMS) in Dorset was developed against this backdrop. Set up by and for farmers, the scheme is supported by regulators, the agricultural sector and local stakeholders. Its goal is to stem the nutrient leaching harming Poole Harbour’s protected coastal habitat and unique wildlife.Address

Meetings
13 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
