Coming next: Davos! 🌍 We are pleased to share that our Partner & Chair Gisela Smith and our Managing Partner Giovanni P. Facchinetti will participate in the Beyond GDP Forum, hosted by the Swiss Impact & Prosperity Initiative at the #Davos SDG Tent on January 20th. This impactful event will convene over 150 leaders from government, academia, business, and civil society to explore the limitations of GDP as a measure of success and advance discussions on integrating environmental and social factors into decision-making for a truly sustainable future. 🌱 As Robert Kennedy said back in 1968, the GDP ‘measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country’, he said. ‘It measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile.’ Held alongside the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, this forum is organized by B Lab Switzerland and #InTent, creating a platform for driving forward the dialogue on purpose-driven economies. We are honored to be part of this transformative journey. Together, we can redefine success and create a better future for people and the planet. 🌍💡 #Davos #WEF #SDG #Sustainability #Future #BeyondGDP #Purpose #BLabCorp #People #Planet #PositiveOrganizations #TheTimeIsNow

This initiative aims to align Swiss regulations with the latest international developments, taking into account regulatory changes and global best practices. 🌍 Key Proposed Updates: Recognition of New International Standards: Following the dissolution of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), compliance with reporting obligations is proposed to be based on internationally recognized standards or EU regulations on sustainable development. Introduction of Timelines (formerly Transition Plans): These tools will guide financial flows toward climate-friendly investments, aligning with the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Requirements will differ between financial institutions and real economy enterprises, reflecting the specific nature of their activities. Digitalization of Reporting: Reports will need to be available in an electronic format readable by both humans and machines, enabling future publication on international platforms. The public consultation on the amendment of the ordinance on climate-related reporting will remain open until March 21, 2025, offering all stakeholders the opportunity to provide input. The new regulations are expected to come into force on January 1, 2026, marking an important step toward greater transparency and climate accountability. This amendment represents a significant move toward enhanced transparency and climate responsibility for businesses, strengthening Switzerland's role in combating climate change. 🌱💼 📩 Get Started Today with a Free Preliminary Consultation!
