01:50 — Out of more than 500 retail executives surveyed by Google Cloud, 71% cited sustainability as their top priority.
02:40 — Other priorities included driving revenue and growth (59%). But can companies really place growth as a lower priority than sustainability?
03:21 — Optimizing business models landed as number two on the priority list (65%) while attracting and retaining top talent came in third place (63%). Will shareholders forgive outdated business models or lose talent to competitors in exchange for increased sustainability?
04:00 — All these priorities are important, but a business leader’s role is to make decisions, set clear priorities, and a path forward through challenging economic times.
