Patagonia CEO Ryan Gellert has a simple message for other leaders across corporate America: Start taking your responsibility to the environment seriously.
"I think common sense tells us that the climate ecological crisis is one of the biggest threats facing humanity."
Thousands of CEOs across the world say evolving to more environmentally-conscious business models is essential for the longevity of their companies, the 26th annual PwC Global CEO Survey found.
CEOs with the "courage" and "consistent willingness to do the work" could reap similar benefits, Gellert said.
