🔍 Opportunity & Feasibility Analysis of a Mixed Deposit System in France 🇫🇷 Reloop commissioned EY to consider the possible outcomes of three key pieces of legislation: ▶ The Anti-Waste and Circular Economy (AGEC) law in France 🇫🇷; ▶ The Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) 🇪🇺; and ▶ The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) in Europe 🇪🇺. All three pieces of legislation are focused on reducing the environmental impact of packaging by increasing collection rates of packaging for recycling, as well as reducing packaging and developing reusable formats. The study focused on three scenarios: 1️⃣ : A mixed deposit return system, where both single-use and refillable beverage containers are included; and 2️⃣ & 3️⃣ :Two scenarios focused on deposit systems that only collect refillable containers The findings of the study are that a mixed deposit return system is the best path forward. Why? 🎯 It will increase the likelihood of achieving the necessary regulatory objectives laid out in the AGEC, SUPD and PPWR. ♻ It is the strongest option for accelerating the rollout of refillable beverage containers by 2026. 💰 It is more economically efficient, with estimated savings of €169m per year. 🛒 It will be better understood by consumers, leading to a greater acceptance of the system; and ❌ It limits any unfair advantage that single-use packaging could have in the market against reusable packaging. The study also confirmed that to achieve these benefits, there will need to be: ▶ significant logistical changes for beverage distributors, ▶ an adjustment to existing kerbside collection systems, ▶ the adoption of new behaviours by consumers.

[COP29][Day 2][Financing business adaptation][Sia Partners] 📈 Adaptation to climate change is the growing topic among climate concerns. Indeed, we did not invest enough money, time and skills in mitigating global GHG emissions since COP21 to avoid massive climatic backlashes today. ⛈ Consequently, climatic hazards will continue to intensify in the coming years and even long after carbon neutrality has been achieved, because of the climatic inertia of GHG and their potential feedback loop effects. 🚨 And public authorities and companies are not ready for the changes underway. 💸 Indeed, adaptation to climate change is currently largely underfunded. According to Sia Partners analysis based on the Climate Policy Initiative Report, less than 1% of private financing needs in adaptation to climate change were invested by companies last year. ➡ Yet, adaptation is not a sunk cost but a real investment: 1/ for countries to avoid massive Loss and Damage costs in the next decades, and  2/ for companies to ensure safety, continuity and competitiveness as seizing new opportunities 🔎 Why? Discover the 6 reasons for investing in adaptation and 3 key financing levers in our publication below. ☎ And to learn more, check our solutions on our website or directly contact us to discuss the best way for your company to navigating climate change : https://lnkd.in/enW-MACT 🏎️ Companies, keep pushing on attenuation and launch now your adaptation strategy ! ⚡ Insights powered with: Clara Martinez Alice Coulon Marco Bégassat 🍀 Sia Partners Climate Team: Charlotte de Lorgeril 🍀 Carlos Guevara Amancio Jean Trzcinski Roberto Wyszkowski Xavier ROBERT-BABY Yann Lesestre Mathieu Barneto Thomas Rocafull Donatien V.

Top 10 Myths About the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) Credits to The Spaceship Academy Ltd. Follow them for more sustainability insights. Original post : __________ The CSRD is changing the game for sustainability reporting across Europe, but there’s still a lot of confusion about what it really means for businesses. Let’s bust some myths! 💥👇 1. Myth: CSRD only applies to large companies. Truth: Listed SMEs and even non-EU companies with significant EU operations must comply too! 2. Myth: It’s just about environmental issues. Truth: The CSRD covers the full ESG spectrum—environmental, social, and governance—from carbon emissions to diversity and anti-corruption. 3. Myth: You can use any sustainability framework. Truth: CSRD requires companies to use the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)—a standardized EU framework for ESG reporting. 4. Myth: SMEs don’t have to report. Truth: Listed SMEs must comply by 2026, though with reduced reporting requirements and a grace period. 5. Myth: Only financially material issues matter. Truth: CSRD introduces double materiality—you need to report on how your business impacts the environment and society, too! 6. Myth: It’s just about creating reports. Truth: Compliance means integrating ESG into your entire business strategy, risk management, and operations, not just ticking a reporting box. 7. Myth: You only need to report on direct operations. Truth: Companies must cover their entire value chain—including suppliers and downstream impacts. 8. Myth: We can wait until 2025 to prepare. Truth: You need to start collecting data in 2024 to meet the 2025 reporting deadline. 9. Myth: No audits required. Truth: Third-party assurance is mandatory, starting with limited assurance and moving to reasonable assurance over time. 10. Myth: It’s just a regulatory burden. Truth: CSRD is an opportunity to boost transparency, attract ESG-focused investors, and build long-term value through sustainable practices. 💡 Are you prepared for the CSRD? Now’s the time to plan, integrate ESG into your core strategy, and lead the way toward a sustainable future. 🌍 __________ ♻️ Find this post useful?

Climate Change and Just Transition in the ESRS – EFRAG Guidance The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) has released its fourth draft guidance (IG 4) on how companies should disclose their climate strategies to comply with EU regulations. EFRAG previously issued its first three ESRS Implementation Guidance documents, covering materiality assessment (IG 1), value chain (IG 2), and ESRS data points (IG 3). The latest guidance (IG4) clarifies requirements under the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and outlines expectations for corporate climate transition plans, incorporating just transition. More specifically, this guidance is designed to assist preparers and users of ESRS sustainability statements in implementing disclosure requirements related to transition plans for climate change mitigation (Disclosure Requirement(DR) ESRS E1-1 and relevant ESRS 2 relevant Disclosure Requirements). https://lnkd.in/gTucZcna

📣 New article: Why we urgently need synergies between biodiversity and climate action 🌎 In The Conversation UK today, our Director Nathalie Seddon and Audrey Constance Wagner explain why aligning climate and biodiversity policy is essential. In short, healthy ecosystems are crucial for climate resilience and a stable climate is essential to protecting biodiversity. Climate action must not come at the expense of biodiversity or human rights. 🚨Cause for concern: At #COP16, key language on the need to transition away from fossil fuels and the dangers of bioenergy for biodiversity was deleted from the final text. "The scientific consensus is clear: we cannot address climate change by industrialising the biosphere. Effective climate solutions must protect ecosystem integrity and support biodiversity, not compromise them for carbon gains." COP16 also brought promising developments: ✨ Growing political support for aligning climate targets with biodiversity goals, including stronger coordination across the #RioTrio. ✨ A step towards more inclusive governance: COP16 established a new subsidiary body for the participation of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities. "In our race to cool the planet, we must ensure we don’t compromise the health of the biosphere on which we depend." ❄️🌍 Read the article below 👇 #COP16Colombia #COP29Azerbaijan #COP30Brazil #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Policy
