She distinguishes between managerial sustainability (risk and compliance) and entrepreneurial sustainability (innovation and growth), arguing businesses must embrace both to thrive. Solitaire emphasizes the opportunity in sustainability as a competitive advantage, not just a compliance burden, citing examples like Chanel and Google.
