This dissertation research project investigated barriers and possibilities for corporate sustainability leaders in the United States to influence business and societal changes to mitigate climate change and other sustainability challenges. This action research study focused on learning from 12 corporate sustainability leaders who were committed to serving both their firms and the surrounding society and environment. The study asked, In what ways might corporate sustainability leaders influence those inside and outside their firms to expand, diversify, or accelerate corporate approaches to sustainability sufficient to mitigate climate change? The systems lens of the research fits the systemic challenges of corporate leaders addressing global climate change.The study's design, interview format, and analysis were guided by critical utopian action research (Nielsen & Lyhne, 2016), community action research (Senge & Scharmer, 2006), and critical, emancipatory action research (Kemmis, 2006). The primary sources of data were semistructured interviews with 12 U.S. senior sustainability leaders, two face-to-face meetings, and an ending survey. All participants edited their own transcripts and read a 60 page anonymized compendium of selected interview responses.The qualitative analysis of participant data revealed their awareness of inherent barriers to sustainability, such as short time frames in bureaucratic, individualistic businesses. Participants described stretching or overcoming corporate barriers, including helping evolve colleagues' mental models to longer time frames and initiating cross-functional and cross-organizational collaborations. They recounted communication strategies that engaged numerous employees in implementing sustainability, using language like caring, respect, compassion, and head and heart. They expressed responsibility for managing risks and unintended consequences of too much change, such as layoffs from reduced short term profitability, as well as the risks to firm viability of too little change to address sustainability and climate challenges. While expressing commitment, determination and sometimes exhaustion, most offered that their work was insufficient.This study's findings can help corporate sustainability leaders and other employees understand inherent barriers in organizations and the risks of both organizational change and inaction. They may suggest ways leaders can engage thousands of employees and citizens in climate and sustainability initiatives. Additional research could explore possibilities of leadership for widespread employee climate innovation or activism.
