Guest: Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO, Stewardship Asia Centre

The workplace is evolving, and so is the role of leadership. While ESG initiatives often fall into compliance checklists, steward leadership presents a different approach, one that integrates profit and purpose for long-term value creation. But is it really possible to solve global challenges while growing a successful business?

In this episode of The Workplace, Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO of Stewardship Asia Centre, explains why ESG in its current form is failing and why steward leadership is the way forward. He shares real-world examples of businesses that have thrived by aligning their goals with societal and environmental impact, such as Faber-Castell’s sustainable forestry efforts that began over 20 years ago.

We also discuss the role of ethical integrity (EI) in AI, how leadership can shape corporate culture, and why purpose-driven businesses can unlock billion-dollar opportunities. Whether you're a CEO, entrepreneur, or aspiring leader, this episode will challenge the way you think about leadership in 2025.
