The Nordic region has a corporate sector which punches above its weight, and houses many sustainability champions. In our new NOYM, we explore why Nordic corporates have bet strongly on sustainability, how good they are versus international peers, and how their bet might be impacted by ESG backlash from US politics and regulatory fatigue. #noym #nordicesgexcellence #reportsofesgdeathexaggerated

The Green deal is here to stay. And we need International Action, Intentional Implementation, Investments and Industrial Policy to deliver on our impact ambitions. That was a very clear message during the CSR Europe European Sustainable Industry Summit 2024 in Brussels! I participated in the high-level plenary session on Leveraging the EU Sustainability Framework for Corporate Impact, in which we discussed the vital role of #regulation to drive sustainability forward, in a way that prioritizes meaningful impact for people and the environment. Co-creation with producing countries and the small scale producers themselves is key. Companies should also collaborate with each other, finding pre-competitive synergies to address the problems they share. Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives (MSIs) cross-industry and including civil society play an important role to leverage knowledge and data sharing, finding solutions together. Thank you to my fellow session participants for the thought-provoking and inspiring conversation! Amaryllis Verhoeven Dr Hakan Lucius Francesco Tramontin Wouter Vermeulen Lorena Sorrentino One thing is certain; there’s enough work for us all still to do to ensure sustainable and inclusive #impact. But together, we can get there! Read more about the session and the summit here: https://lnkd.in/evGSuk4y  #CSR #ResponsibleBusiness #CSDDD #EU #EUSISummit
