#DidYouKnow that more than 70% of companies surveyed in a recent report said that the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) allowed them to increase climate action beyond what they would do without buying carbon credits? We Mean Business Coalition led the survey in partnership with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and Bain & Company. The survey included 180 executives from 27 countries across sectors, including industry, technology, and finance, who participated in the interview about corporate attitudes to the VCM. #ClimeCo #EnvironmentalMarkets #CarbonMarkets #VCM #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #Decarbonization #CorporateClimateFinance #Sustainability

In case you missed it, our 2022 ESG report is hot off the press. https://lnkd.in/gUeD6Asj I'm really proud that the team continues to reduce our GHG emissions intensities, now 34% below our 2020 baseline, as well as providing affordable energy, good jobs, local economic engagement, education and innovation opportunities and more...all in the report. And coming up in 2023, Wembley cogen will further reduce emissions and so much other good work across our ESG goals

ESG report on its own is insufficient because reporting doesn't mean your company is developing strategies and taking actions to increase your positive impacts and decrease your negative impacts, nor that you have an actual roadmap towards your commitment. We need meaningful actions, not more reports. 2023, I have never seen that many conferences and seminars in Vietnam talking about ESG, all charging pretty expensive tickets 😄 and people are still so confused. And we know why it is confusing. So here you are, our gift, free of charge, to all business owners in Vietnam out there whom we want to help understand what exactly it is, where it is evolving, and which one may be more suitable to your business. #esg #esgreporting #sustainabilityroadmap #corporatestrategy

Noticed a growing amount of negative news surrounding ESG of late? You're not alone. Check out this article from Tom Bosschaert for a detailed rundown of why it's failing to deliver the goods. I'm a world away from being an ESG expert, but from my perspective some of the most obvious failings are: 🌐 the simplification of complexity 🌐 the ever-present issue with definitions 🌐 an overly-centralized and "universal" framework 🌐 the ability for it to deflect time and attention away from more serious and systemic issues. I don't see it disappearing, but curious to see how ESG evolves over the coming years.

It is these kind of initiatives that will drive the investable, sustainable change we all need to see to combat the harmful effects of climate change. Alexander Cox, Sabine Hoefnagel

For those who is in the initial stage of defining the Sustainability Strategy for your company, a must read this depth article of Tom Bosschaert . - - - “A genuine sustainability strategy often inherently includes the concept of 'triple materiality' because it is fundamentally concerned with the company’s impact on the world and vice versa. This approach leads to a transition roadmap that becomes central to the company’s overall strategy, not just a component of a sustainability department. In our experience, a company truly committed to sustainability does not have a sustainability department at all; sustainability becomes a foundational principle guiding the entire organization. Therefore, a sustainability strategy is usually the starting point for a new, comprehensive approach for the whole company, integrating sustainability into all facets of operation, from market strategies to finance, and operations.”

#SBTi faces backlash from its employees, and that is a reminder they are a great force for good and have a big say in organizational processes (#stakeholders economy versus shareholder economy).  The #UN-backed Science Based Targets initiative staff, one of the leading climate-certification organizations, are demanding the CEO and board members to resign for their plans to allow companies to meet their #climate targets with #carbonoffsets, which can lead to #greenwashing practices.
