🌿 Sustainability is no longer a peripheral issue – it’s becoming central to business strategy and operations. In a recent Mumbrella interview, Dan Wilcock, Head of Sustainable Governance at the UN Global Compact Network Australia (UNGCNA), and Sue Allchurch, Chief of Outreach and Engagement at the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), shared their insights on empowering businesses to adopt sustainability practices. ▪ Sue underscored the importance of connecting businesses to the Ten Principles of the UNGC in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption — to drive meaningful, measurable action that contributes to a more sustainable and responsible future. ▪ Dan highlighted the role of industry associations in guiding companies through emerging issues, such as greenwashing, while advocating for a collective voice towards transparency and accountability in sustainability communications. ▪ Due to the strong demand for the greenwashing course, the UNGCNA has successfully run four cohorts this year. The course will return in 2025, allowing more professionals to navigate sustainability with confidence and credibility. ➡️ Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gy2TnRsC ➡️ Learn more about our greenwashing course: https://lnkd.in/gRWF2aXD
