Formula E – recognised as the number one ESG sport in the world (GSBS) – has announced it will save at least 25 percent on freight-related CO2 emissions in S11. It will reduce the volume and weight it transports via air freight, optimising sea and road freight efficiencies alongside its Official Founding and Logistics Partner, DHL.

Environmental groups Fossielvrij NL, Fossilfree advertising, and ClientEarth have sent a legal letter to 71 airlines operating out of Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands. This follows a court ruling against KLM for misleading advertising in their "Fly Responsible" campaign and CO2ZERO product. This verdict sets a strong precedent for what airlines can and can't claim about their sustainability efforts. The letter outlines three key areas where airlines must be transparent: 1️⃣ 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐬: Airlines can't promote themselves as aligned with the Paris Agreement if they prioritize growth over sustainability. 2️⃣ 𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐬: Advertising for these fuels needs to be based on science and avoid exaggerating their impact. 3️⃣ 𝐂𝐎2 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Airlines shouldn't make claims about the effectiveness of offsetting programs, as there's no direct link between financial contributions and actual emission reduction. This isn't just happening in the Netherlands. The EU is also cracking down on greenwashing in airlines, with similar warnings sent to 20 airlines in April. Additionally, legal action is underway against airlines in the UK, US, and Australia for potentially misleading sustainability claims. #Aviation #Greenwashing #ClimateLitigation https://lnkd.in/e7f56TNY

If you haven't yet come across Loes van Dijk and Climate Court, here's your nudge. #ClimateLitigation used to sound boring, but now... we all know that this is where some incredible #ClimateInfluence can happen. Making sure my amazing #ClimatePolicy friends, Catherine Atkin and Michael Schmitz, connect with Loes. #law #legal #policy #climateaction

I’m sharing an article about one of our Behavior Change projects in Brazil.

RTL News visited Renewi's Organics facility in the municipality of Amsterdam. Here we have an extremly modern installation where green gas is produced for Vattenfall. In the transition to more sustainable energy, green gas plays a very important role. The production and use of green gas helps to achieve climate goals in the area of CO2 reduction and helps the Netherlands to become less dependent on natural gas imports 🌍 Want to know more about how Renewi plays a role in the transition to greener energy? ⬇️ #circulareconomy #recycling #sustainability #greengas #circularity #wastenomore

Together with Allianz España, we cleaned the port of La Ràpita in Spain. The feeling watching plastic-filled waters turn clear in just a few days, can’t be compared! #enaleia #mediterraneancleanup #allianz #spain #beachcleanup #recycle #upcycle #sustainability #cleanup

Brav Responsibility Report 2023 2023 has been a challenging year for Brav as well as for the entire industry. As a consequence of COVID-19, the disruption of the supply chain coupled with increased inflation, led to the accumulation of significant stock across the entire industry, thereby slowing down business operations. Consequently, we had to focus on financial stability as our priority. We are all the more proud that our brands (Swix, Lundhags - Mad about Nature since 1932, Ulvang, TOKO Wax & Care, Helsport and Skisporet.no) have never lost sight of their sustainability ambitions. Lundhags increased their production of unique versions of their iconic shell boot, only made out of leftover materials from their production in Järpen in Sweden and Portugal. And Swix continued its ambition to make the entire sport fluoro-free by launching the “Perfectly prepared to stay fluoro-free” campaign - to just name a few of the campaigns. At the same time, it is important to put our significant decrease in GHG emissions of 44% into perspective. Although we continued to work on e.g. switching to lower-impact materials for our products, the real reason for the decline was the fact that we purchased over 60% less in products compared to 2022. Transparency is key for us, so please take a look at our Responsibility Report 2023 and find out how we continued our social due diligence and made sure to deliver on our set goals. https://lnkd.in/de7-NjA5

We want to, but we don't know how..? While politics keeps fencing with instruments with which major polluters approve their own emissions, our air is becoming increasingly dirty. A frequently heard excuse from politics and industry is that the legislation is too complex, making implementation difficult and enforcement practically impossible. But it is not very difficult. Replace 'long live the non-bindingness' with 'long live the clean air standard'. Then set up an independent inspection that measures, reports and enforces structurally. Let's then see how quickly the air becomes (slightly) cleaner? https://lnkd.in/eDgTDxeU #cleanair #emissions #pollution #politics #climate BNNVARA
