I'm looking forward to speaking at the Sustainability Congress in Berlin on October 16, 2024! My presentation will focus on the key drivers of change in sustainability governance and what that means for the function of sustainability —an essential area as we work towards creating more resilient and responsible systems. I’m looking forward to delving into these critical topics and engaging with fellow experts on how we can shape the future of sustainability. #SustainabilityCongress #SustainabilityGovernance #Berlin2024

3…2…1…💣 I don’t care about shareholder value. And yet the irony is not lost on me: all I care about and strive for, has a huge positive impact on shareholder value. Watch my keynote from the Sustainability Transformation Forum. 15 min of fun and lots of insights. Link in comments 👇🏼 #elevatingperformance #thehumanway

Gen C has been attending the Economist Impact 9th Annual Sustainability Conference for the past two days - some fascinating sessions highlighting the progress being made to deal with a wide range of sustainability issues. Fascinating session with Lord Adair Turner about whether to invest or divest from the heavy emitters - no easy solutions and policy makers are wrestling with the most effective ways to encourage decarbonisation in these sectors. More to follow later! #weareallgenc #greencareers #sustainabilityleadership #sustainability #climateeducation

Incremental targets will kill your Sustainability programme. If you (rightly) set stretch targets, resist the temptation to turn them into annual targets, even in your head. Incremental targets lead to incremental thinking leads to diminishing returns. Stretch targets stretch your mind. This is the message behind idea no 10 in my '12½ Kick Ass Sustainability Ideas for 2024' webinar last month. We will be picking up on this theme in Net Zero Business Academy 2024 on 6 March: Developing Sustainability/Net Zero Strategies - link in the comments. #NetZero #Sustainability #ESG

This is a very insightful read from the ERM Sustainability Institute. A couple of exerpts and call outs; 1) "A recent survey of a set of public and private companies across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America found that 85 percent consider sustainability a long-term value creation opportunity. The same survey found that value creation was also the number one reason companies pursue sustainability action." Comment: Amazing that we have reached the point in the evolving narrative around investing in sustainability-driving solutions that companies en mass are investing because it is good for the business. Personally, I will take the W regardless of how we got here. 2) "Despite growing recognition of sustainability’s value creation benefits, companies are more frequently walking back their sustainability goals. Unilever, once sustainability’s leading light, retreated from its goal to cut its virgin plastic use in half by 2025 when it announced in April that it is now aiming to only reduce use by a third and not until 2026. Other companies are also slowing their efforts. Volkswagen once aimed to reduce its CO2 emissions from cars and light commercial vehicles 30 percent by 2025. It now aims to achieve the same emissions reductions by 2030. In June, Tractor Supply Company released a statement announcing that among other actions, it would no longer share data with the Human Rights Campaign, eliminate all its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) roles, retire its DEI goals, and shelve its carbon emissions goals." Comment: A reminder that when business gets rough, ESG often pays the price. A good example of what I have prevoiusly called the "regulatory safety net" kicking into gear with the 15% of businesses that do not see sustainability investment as a value generator.
