Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, is being given the Frost & Sullivan award for Growth, Innovation and Leadership for helping set up the Carbon War Room, which aims to help reduce CO 2 emissions.. Frost & Sullivan chairman David Frigstad says chief executives increasingly need true leadership and to be able to move "at light speed".
It's true Branson is one for speed records - making the fastest Atlantic Ocean crossing in 1986 and the quickest English Channel crossing in an amphibious vehicle in 2004.
