Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)

CISL about us

Each year we work with organisations from major consumer brands and global banks, to national governments and international NGOs, supporting their own individual journey of change towards a sustainable economy.

Our clients rely on us to provide the insights, practical tools, and curated spaces for dialogue and innovation, alongside the development of leadership capacity and strategic support to drive change in their own organisations and beyond.

As part of the University of Cambridge we have the advantage of underpinning our work with research insights from one of the world’s leading universities – alongside practitioner insights from our 9,000 strong alumni Network
