Rainforest Action Network’s Post

🌿 A Billionaire Family Fueled by Green Debt Faces Deforestation Claims The Tanoto family's Royal Golden Eagle, a conglomerate supplying major brands like Procter & Gamble and Unilever, is under scrutiny for allegations of deforestation, despite their claims of sustainability. Anderson Tanoto, a prominent figure within the family, has promoted green initiatives globally, yet environmental groups point to serious deforestation linked to companies associated with RGE. The complexity arises as RGE has raised over $5 billion in sustainability-linked loans while simultaneously facing accusations that its "shadow network" engages in practices harmful to Indonesia's rainforests. This juxtaposition raises critical questions about greenwashing in corporate practices. As discussions around sustainability and corporate responsibility become increasingly vital, how can investors and consumers discern genuine commitments from mere marketing tactics? #Sustainability #GreenFinance #Deforestation #CorporateResponsibility #EnvironmentalImpact #TanotoFamily

In 2023, the voluntary carbon market (#VCM) faced a confidence crisis after years of robust growth. Intense media scrutiny questioned the quality and authenticity of #carbon #emission reductions, highlighting the market's need for #transparency and #integrity. Temasek remains steadfast in its commitment to carbon markets and the just concluded Ecosperity summit is a testament to the solid conversations this area continues to attract. Steve Howard Vice Chairman of Sustainability at Temasek recently spoke to me on whyTemasek believes that #carbonmarkets are critical for achieving #netzero, while investing in #sustainable economic growth is a #fiduciary responsibility for #longterm #investors.

As Climate Week reaches its peak, it's clear that LinkedIn is buzzing with updates on the progress (or lack thereof) in addressing the planetary poly-crisis. While those conversations are important, today I want to share a something different with you. I firmly believe we stand at a pivotal moment where our world needs bold people and transformative ideas to reshape human civilization. We have the opportunity to transition from an extractive model to one that is regenerative—where the economy serves both people and the natural systems that sustain all life. Eva Gladek’s vision, alongside the pioneering work of her team at Metabolic, represents the kind of courageous leadership we need to drive this shift. They are at the forefront of reimagining and redesigning the systems that define our future. I encourage all of us to explore the opportunity to invest in Metabolic’s mission and their capacity to challenge the status quo. Now is the time to support those who are building a more sustainable, equitable, and regenerative future. Take a minute to see why! #regenerativeleadership #regenerativeeconomy #regenerativeliving
