“Many boards struggle with translating purpose and sustainability

about the long term, actually fun to read.” – Paul Polman,

"If I had just one person to guide me in being a better director,
it would, of course, be Helle. Her breadth and depth of experience
and her leadership in meeting head-on the complex challenges of the
day is unmatched. Stewards of The Future should be required board
reading." —Eric Wetlaufer, director, TMX Group and Investment
Management Corporation of Ontario (IMCO)
"A book about the future role and responsibilities of the Board of
directors could not be more timely. If that book is written by
Helle Bank Jorgensen, based on her 30 years of experience advising
companies and investors on ESG, Climate and Sustainability, that
book will be a bestseller." —Annette Verschuren, O.C. - Chair and
CEO, NRStor Inc., Director of Air Canada; Canadian Natural
Resources Limited; Liberty Mutual Insurance Group and Saputo Inc.,

Technology Canada (SDTC)

of the board room. Learn and get inspired by Helle Bank Jorgensens
great book." —Torben Möger Pedersen, CEO, PensionDanmark
"Directors are the stewards of the business information of a
company. The stewards of the future need to apply their minds to
make business judgement calls that are in the long-term best
interests of the health of the incapacitated company, of which as
stewards they are the heart, mind, soul and conscience. This book
guides a director as to how to be a good steward of a company in
our uncertain future.” —Mervyn King South, African corporate
attorney, arbitrator, mediator, corporate director, commission
chair, author, and speaker
"Unusually powerful...Specifically because it never does go the
route of emotionality or excess rhetoric, staying firmly in its
ideological lane with facts and findings."—Colin Jordan, Medium
