A w ar d
SA: Barbar a,
y our
c ar eer
is
unique and y ou
hav e
seen
l ot s
of
diff er ent
busines s
models.
Can
y ou
giv e
us
a
brief definition
of sus t ainability?
BK:
W ell,
I
check ed
this
morning
and
the number
of
hit s
f or
definitions of sus t ainability is
curr entl y
724
million
and I
think it is
gr owing.
My
point
of
view
in
busines s
has
al w a y s
been
to
l ook
at
the
3P s: pr ofit
–
peopl e
–
planet and
s ynchronize them.
Pr ofit
has
al w a y s
and
will
al w a y s
be ther e
bec ause
w e
w ant
to
cr eate
v alue
f or shar eholder s. I
think the
peopl e
aspect has al w a y s
been
ther e
as
w ell,
and
in
f amil y c ompanies mor e
than
others. The
thir d
one is
the
big
one,
the
ne w
one.
That
is
planet.
In
my
view
whene v er
y ou
mak e
a
decision, whene v er
y ou
buil d
s tr at egy ,
mak e
an ac quisition, hir e
someone, c onsider
those 3P s.
SA: Ar e
boar ds
r eall y
int er es t ed
in sus t ainability?
BK:
In
my
boar d
w ork
I
hav e
been
seeing r eactions to
Gr et a
[Thunber g].
And
she
is a
c ontr o v er sial
figur e
–
the
opinions r ange fr om positive
to
negativ e,
r espectful
and suspicious.
But
she
has
br ought
a
much gr eat er
aw ar enes s
on
the
t opics. Looking fr om a
mark eting
cy cl e
AID A per spectiv e
– aw ar enes s, int er es t,
desir e,
action –
t oda y
aw ar enes s
and
int er es t
ar e
cl earl y
ther e
f or boar ds,
top
managers, c ompanies, f amil y and
public all y
lis t ed
c ompanies. I
think the
F AMIL Y
BUSINES S:
A V OICE
F OR
CHANGE
IN
SUST AINABILITY
desir e
to
action is
ther e,
t oo.
Companies
that ar e
mor e
suc c es sful
sa y
y es
w e
hav e
to
do
it. Action is
the
w eak part bec ause
v ery
small number s
of
c ompanies ar e
actuall y
making
it happen.
Int er es tingl y
r ec ent
r esearch
has
sho wn
that 65
per c ent
of
c ompanies hav e
sus t ainability as
a
management t opic,
but
22
per c ent
think the
boar d
c annot
deal
with
it in
a
c onclusiv e w a y .
So it is
ther e
in
the
agenda,
but
our boar d
is
not
helping to
further
it.
A r ec ent s tudy
by
Mazar s
sho w ed
that
53
per c ent
of boar ds
see
a
busines s
c ase
f or
sus t ainability . That
means
47
per c ent
of
boar ds
do
not
see
a busines s
c ase
f or
an int er es t
in
sus t ainability . So it is
inc onclusiv e
but
in
gener al
the int er es t
is
ther e.
So wh y
shoul d
a
boar d
be
int er es t ed
in sus t ainability? W ell,
inv es t or
int er es t
w orth $30
trillion
is
ther e,
whether the y
ar e
f amil y or
non-f amil y .
ESG
is
an incr easing demand and
if y ou
ar e
a
public
c ompany ,
y ou
need inv es t or s. Then
w e
hav e
60
per c ent
of mill ennials
who
w ant
to
join
a
c ompany
with
a good
sus t ainability pr ogr am.
And
mone y
and titles
and
c ar s
–
the y
do
not
c ar e
f or
those; the y
go
f or
the
purpose and
sus t ainability .
Then
y ou
c ome to
c onsumer s
and
the y
hav e apps such
as
T o xF o x
that
mean the y
jus t hav e
to
sc an a
pr oduct
in
a
supermark et
and get
a
c onclusion
on
Subs t anc es
of
V ery
High Conc ern
(S VHCs)
and
an immediat e
option to
send a
c omplaint to
the
c ompany .
Then ther e
is
a
huge
opportunity
pr esent ed
by
the gr een
mark et.
T oda y
it is
w orth $3 trillion and
by
2025
it is
pr ojected
to
gr o w
to
$6 trillion.
So ther e
ar e
r easons
to
engage
with sus t ainability at
boar d
l e v el.
SA: Ther e
is
the
idea
that
v alues
shoul d be
non-negotiabl e
and
s tr at egies c an be
negotiabl e.
Shoul d
boar ds
mo v e
sus t ainability to
a
non-negotiabl e
v alue
and
see
e v erything else
as
a
negotiabl e
priority? BK:
It
is
v ery
import ant
that
sus t ainability is
embedded
in
v alues.
T ypic all y
in
f amil y -
o wned
c ompanies v alues
ar e
mor e
import ant. Y ou
hav e
f ourth or
fifth-gener ation
member s
and
the y
w ant
to
c ontinue
with
those v alues.
I w as
head
of
sus t ainability at
Philips
15
y ear s ago.
The
w a y
to
mo v e
things with
v alues
w as to
cr eate
a
busines s
int ention.
At
the
time Philips
w as
intr oducing LED
lighting that emitt ed
30
per c ent
l es s
C O2.
So w e
f ocused
on
gr o wing
the
LED
busines s
to
fulfill
our sus t ainability agenda.
So,
identify
what
I
c all the
‘gr een
sw eet
spot’
and
f ocus
on
it and
use it to
ac c el er at e
the
busines s. V alues
mus t
be k ept
but
pr omote
them thr ough
the
busines s.
SA: I
w as
onc e
t ol d
if y ou
mis s
a
tipping
point, y ou
liv e
to
r egr et
it.
Is
sus t ainability is
huge tipping
point?
BK:
It
is
absolut el y
true.
Look
at
the aut omotiv e
indus try
in
Germany
–
the y mis sed
el ectric
c ar s. El on
Musk

Ho w e v er ,
mill ennials
don’t w ant c ar s. The y

the y

not need

W e ar e

F r om Augus t

2019
w e
began living off
the
natur al
r esour c es
(air ,
w at er , w ood)
of
our
kids
and
gr andkids. W e
hav e
to do
something about
it.
SA: Y ou
hav e
seen
l ot s
of
f amil y
busines ses.
What
advic e
c an y ou
giv e
them to
giv e them quick
fix es,
eas y
tw eak s?
Also, is
sus t ainability a
cultur e-specific phenomenon?
BK:
W ell,
fir s t
the
cultur e
ques tion.
I
gr e w up
in
a
Swis s
German village. W e
w alk ed
30 minut es
two
or
thr ee
times
a
da y .
W e
w er e separ ating
garbage,
w e
c ompos t ed
in
the gar den.
W e
do
hav e
a
cultur al-upbringing that
is
aligned with
sus t ainability .
The
sec ond
point
is
on
quick
fix es. I
hav e
to t ell
y ou,
sus t ainability and
quick
fix es
ar e not
c ompatibl e.
But
what
c an c ompanies do?
W ell,
the
fir s t
thing
is
c ompanies mus t ask
is
it r eall y
part of
our
DNA?
Is
it trul y embedded?
In
f amil y
c ompanies, I
hav e f ound
it is
al w a y s
part of
it.
The y
al w a y s c ar ed
f or
the
envir onment and
peopl e
and
the y
al w a y s
l ook
at
l ong
t erm.
The
sec ond thing
is
to
l ook
at
the
materiality matrix. This is
a
simpl e
tw o-a xis
matrix
that
balanc es
the
priorities
of

of
