Jesper Brodin operates at the point where sustainability stops being positioning and starts reshaping the business model. As CEO of Ingka Group, he leads one of the largest global retailers through the tension between growth, cost and climate responsibility, where trade-offs are constant and highly visible.

His perspective is grounded in execution. He does not present ESG as a parallel agenda, but as a set of decisions that run through supply chains, pricing, operations and long-term investment. For organisations navigating human capital and ESG, this brings a different lens: how internal alignment, employee voice and leadership accountability hold when commercial pressure is real. In this context, initiatives like ERGs are not cultural signals, they are part of how organisations surface risk, challenge assumptions and adapt at scale.
