The world’s largest companies depend on natural capital for their operations yet cause trillions of dollars in environmental costs each year that are not accounted for, new research from S&P Global Sustainable1 finds. Companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index were responsible for $3.71 trillion in unpriced environmental costs across their direct operations in 2021 — equal to more than 4% of global GDP that year. The report, produced with support from the Capitals Coalition, examines the unpriced environmental damage costs across 30 sector groups and finds that 92.5% of the total costs come from just six sector groups — fossil fuel electric power generation, manufacturing of primary materials, mining and quarrying, transportation, crop cultivation, and livestock production. 🔎Read the report here: https://okt.to/EwSlkI #EnvironmentalCosts #NaturalCapital #SustainableFinance #CorporateImpact #CorporateResponsibility #Manufacturing #Mining #utilities #SustainableAgriculture #Transportation Esther Whieldon Matt MacFarland Alasdair Wilson Georgina Mattiacci Rosanna Brady Oliver Goodearl MSc (Hons)

GreenCape has published an opportunity brief introducing the role of BSF frass in fostering regenerative horticulture. The brief introduces readers to frass, its benefits, and the opportunities - notably to keep organic waste out of landfills, whilst also futureproofing the sector’s reliance on functional soils. The Brief also includes some top tips from the industry and some regulatory considerations. For broader opportunities, GreenCape also developed a BSF Industry Brief for Cape Town. The brief also introduces the reader to the state of Cape Town’s thriving BSF sector. A number of key recommendations for respective stakeholders have also been included to facilitate the scaling up of South Africa’s BSF sector: https://lnkd.in/djm8Qydy
Stepping into a brand new year, our focus remains on sustainable economic development through green economy investment and job creation opportunities. This new opportunity brief, published with the Anglo American Foundation, looks at the opportunities in frass production from Black Soldier Fly (BSF) agriculture. More specifically, the brief introduces frass, its benefits, and the opportunities that exist, notably to keep organic waste out of landfills whilst also futureproofing the sector’s reliance on functional soils. The primary opportunity for frass production relates to organic waste producers / handlers seeking a landfill alternative disposal solution Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dJ2wERJG Sam Smout Maike von Heymann Michael Mapstone Shingi Nyamwanza Bimha, MBA #circulareconomy #blacksoldierfly #sustainableagriculture #sdg8

Network! This is #important. Production of recycled organics, including compost, is set to be a major pathway for food and garden organics. The compost standard (AS4454) is being considered for revision as part of this. Work with composts? Work with wastes? Work with chemicals? Have an opinion? Read on, and please engage with us on this issue via the website, or the contacts below, or you can get in touch with me! #AS4454review #compost #waronwaste The Federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has recently engaged a consortium* led by Dr Kevin Wilkinson, Frontier Ag & Environment, to consider “Revision of AS4454: Composts, Soil Conditioners and Mulches” in order to facilitate the production and use of clean, consistent and safe recycled organic products. One of the focus areas of this work will be physical contaminants, particularly soft plastics, ways of measuring their presence in composting feedstock and also more stringent maximum threshold levels in the end products. “We will also address chemical contaminants, but due to the lack of data on the possible presence and impacts of chemicals of concern and the difficulties of establishing ‘safe’ threshold limits, we will seek alternative approaches for the management of chemical and biological contaminants”, said Dr Wilkinson. He added that this project will not be just a desktop study, but that much time and effort will be spent engaging and consulting with key industry and government bodies, ensuring that views, ideas and opinions of all key stakeholders are captured and inform the outcome, which will be a pathway towards the production and use of clean and safe recycled organic products. “In fact”, Kevin added, “AS4454 may not be the best tool to address every issue, so we will also be assessing other options for the management of physical, chemical and biological contaminants in recycled organic products”. ---------------- * Partners: Science into Action, Murrang Earth Sciences, Australian Environment Agency Pty Ltd, University of Queensland – CROWN Contact: Dr Kevin Wilkinson, Project Leader Director, Frontier Ag & Environment Ph: 0421 959 960 E: [email protected] Project website: www.as4454review.com.au

Launched today, the next report in our global study on private sector engagement at landscape and jurisdictional scale is focused on palm oil. The study is a collaboration between Tropical Forest Alliance, Proforest and CDP. Informed by interviews with 18 companies and 11 landscape implementers as well as submissions to CDP’s forest questionnaire 2022, this report aims to map the way forward and mobilize more landscape-scale action by downstream and midstream companies in this important commodity. Access the report ‘Sharing Responsibility and Success: Companies Collaborate to Support Palm Oil Landscapes’ here now: https://bit.ly/3Ybfhk4 #palmoil #commodities #supplychains #jurisdictionalapproach #deforestation #forests #environment #sustainability
