🦋🐈🧍‍♀️What do a butterfly, a cat, and a human have in common? They were the animals that amazed our 3 panelists in a lively discussion on biodiversity at last week's event co-organized by the European Business Council in Japan (EBC) and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan. 🌱 Big thanks to Yuriko Iwasaki (Unilever), Jun Suzuki (L'Oréal) and Hirotaka Hideshima (Norinchukin Bank) for their valuable insights into the growing corporate focus on biodiversity and nature loss. With COP16 for Biological Diversity happening next month in Colombia, there's hope we’ll see a stronger push to implement the Kunming-Montreal Framework adopted 2 years ago. 🌊 Equally enlightening was the panel on decarbonization, where Tom Walsh (RWE), Hisafumi Manabe (Marubeni Offshore Wind) and Minako Wakabayashi (Orrick Law Office) shared progress and challenges in Japan's offshore wind sector - and how European companies can make a contribution. A big thank you from the EBC Sustainability Committee to CCIFJ, AHK Japan, ACCJ and Societe Generale (Motoko, Bruno) for all the support in making this event possible! #sustainability #decarbonization #biodiversity #europe #japan

Dear Ocean-Climate-Nature Friends, I was delighted to contribute to this timely brief on the eve of COP29 which makes recommendations that provides concrete recommendations to Parties to ensure that the ocean receives proper consideration in the COP29 climate finance package, thereby enabling countries to include robust and adequately funded ocean-based solutions in their upcoming climate strategies. In particular, I would like to highight the critical role of private sector engagement which was clearly recognised in the outcome of the Global Stocktake. More and more actors from the private sector are seeing the opportunity to take action on climate change, including ocean-based solutions. With pension funds, asset managers, insurance companies and other institutions, as well as family wealth, controlling USD 200 trillion of financial assets globally, it is essential to engage private and blended capital in investing in the sustainable ocean economy if we are to meet climate (as well as nature) goals. A lack of awareness around the importance of a healthy ocean to achieve the Paris Agreement, alongside perceived risks, limited finance vehicles, and an underdeveloped pipeline of products that are attractive to large investors have restricted significant capital flows into this sector by both governments and non-state actors. Mobilising finance to get it to where it is needed the most requires the development of impactful projects and project pipelines that prospective financiers, be they private or public, debt or equity, commercial or philanthropic – or any form of blended finance – can coalesce around and support. #COP29Baku #COP29 #oceanforclimate #oceansolutions

We had a great meeting of the World Council of #Recycling Associations yesterday in Singapore, bringing together the leading associations representing the #recycledmaterials industry in the EU, throughout Asia, the Middle East, South America and North America. Led by Susie Burrage OBE, President of the Bureau of International Recycling, and Arnaud Brunet, #BIR's Director General, it was a very productive discussion around policy, environmental, trade and related issues affecting the industry. I was particularly pleased to receive the update from KPMG on the progress being made on the BIR Sponsored study on the "Environmental Benefits of Recycling," which will include expanded indicators, including water usage, #greenhousegasemissions (#GHG) savings when using #recycledmaterials, and #emergy consumption. This will be very valuable data for all of us when the study is completed in early 2025, providing needed data to demonstrate the advantages of using high-quality recycled materials in the #manufacturing #supplychain, and also helping companies with their #ESG reporting requirements. I was joined by Colin Kelly, the Chair of Recycled Materials Association (ReMA), Andy Golding (ReMA Chair-Elect) and Cheryl Coleman (#ReMA's Sr VP of Advocacy, #Sustainability and #Safety) as representatives of the U.S. based #recycledmaterials industry.

🏭 Food and beverage sustainability investments must focus more strongly on row crop fertilizer emissions reductions - or their emissions reduction goals will fall short. Read more insights from Environmental Defense Fund's new report on the funding gaps and critical opportunities for companies with row crops in their supply chain led by my colleague Simone Schenkel.

Finally, the ISSB are taking meaningful steps towards reducing (rather than adding to) reporting complexity, considering the existing landscape of sustainability and climate change reporting standards led by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This may mean further regulatory reforms at national levels, to streamline the reporting burden of new mandatory climate change and sustainability disclosures.

🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 2025 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐁𝐀𝐌? As we look ahead, 2025 promises to be a year full of challenges and opportunities for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). 📜𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: With the introduction of new secondary legislation (on the picture) and the implementation of national regulations across EU member states, businesses will need to stay agile and informed. ✅ 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐬: One of the key steps will be applying for the status of an authorised declarant. This will be crucial for companies aiming to navigate the complexities of CBAM effectively. 💡 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Moreover, 2025 should be a year of strategic reflection on your supply chain. It's essential to assess and prepare for the additional costs that may arise from 2026 onwards. Let's embrace these challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth and sustainability.

Votes of Today, Extinction Tomorrow: Are We Trading Our Future for Short-Term Wins? As a sustainability leader, I find myself increasingly worried about the future of #climateaction. With rising climate skepticism in powerful positions, the short-sighted pursuit of financial gain is threatening to undermine everything we’ve worked for. The re-election of a second #Trump presidency is alarming for next week's #COP29 and climate agreements worldwide. If critical countries backtrack on the #ParisAgreement, we’ll see a dangerous escalation in oil extraction, fossil fuel consumption, and the reduction of financial support for developing countries fighting to reduce emissions. The price of ignoring long-term sustainability? Human lives. We can’t afford to sacrifice our planet for short-term profits. Let’s make sure the next generation inherits a livable world, not one left to decay under the weight of ignorance and greed. The stakes are too high. #sustainability #SDG30 #climateaction #actnow #CO2

More regulatory tailwinds for Green PRAXIS can only serve to accelerate the mission we're on. Yesterday, the UE enacted another piece of legislation that will help strike a better balance between economic activity and the preservation of nature.

KnowTheChain's 2024 Good Practice Guide shines light on how companies can tackle forced labour risks in their supply chains. This guide highlights actionable steps and real-world examples across Apparel & Footwear, Food & Beverage and ICT to address one of the most pressing human rights issues: forced labour. Key practices from the report that companies should adopt to build ethical, resilient supply chains: 1️⃣ Traceability and Transparency Mapping your supply chain beyond Tier 1 is critical. Best in class companies disclose supplier details, including raw material sourcing, helping to identify and address risks before they escalate. ➡️ Start here: Ensuring you have the tools required to go beyond tier 1, prioritise high-risk materials (e.g., cotton, leather), and update disclosures regularly. 2️⃣ Risk Assessment Companies must conduct regular, worker-centered risk assessments. Woolworths, for example, identified risks tied to migrant workers across specific commodities and regions, enabling targeted action. ➡️ Focus on: Engaging workers, unions, and civil society for insights—beyond traditional audit tools. 3️⃣ Responsible Purchasing Practices Poor purchasing practices can drive exploitation. The report highlights, for instance, stabilising supplier relationships with clear forecasts and planning, ensuring suppliers can meet standards sustainably. ➡️ What to do: Align pricing to cover labour costs, reduce last-minute order changes, and disclose data on orders and payment terms. 5️⃣ Recruitment Fees and Migrant Worker Protections Migrant workers often face recruitment fees that lead to debt bondage. Best in class companies take proactive steps to eliminate these fees and ensure workers are reimbursed. ➡️ Key action: Adopt the Employer Pays Principle, map recruitment corridors, and verify compliance with recruitment standards. 7️⃣ Grievance Mechanisms and Remediation Effective grievance mechanisms ensure workers' voices are heard. Best in class organisations facilitate repayments to migrant workers after uncovering excessive recruitment fees. ➡️ Focus on: Ensuring mechanisms are accessible, anonymous, and worker-centered, with transparent reporting on outcomes.

Day 3 at World Future Energy Summit and an exciting one for the #SMEs who get to take to the stage at the Innovation Zone in Hall 2. We will be looking at gender gap finance, collaborations between corporates & SMEs, biodiversity, and an important SME Survey, showing the challenges and solutions need for the #netzero journey. These conversations are relevant and crucial, as the pressing reality of climate change must inform and guide our path forward. If we, as a country, aim to achieve net-zero by 2050, we must collaborate and work hand in hand with. government, SMEs, and corporates alike—and provide SMEs with the necessary support to thrive with this ecosystem. We are supported here today by many fabulous people: Nadia Boumeziout Aoife O'Loughlin Kyle Weber Tanzeed Alam Jane C.

Didn't quite hit your summer-bod goals this summer? Are you not replying to that beach-side bbq invite because you're worried about your (obvious) lack of a six-pack? Worry no more! Take the focus off your unimpressive torso by discussing the European Comission's ESPR text! Product level intelligence is getting a huge mandatory boost with this law. Producers cannot claim supply chain negligence anymore and eco-design is a key tenet for all new products. That means if you make cosmetic products, it's time to start using Fairglow. Sorry. It's the rules... Muscular, tanned bodies are out. Eco-design is in however.

French Observatory of Access Conditions to the Ecological Transition, 2024 edition ▶️ Objective: to track the evolution of access conditions to the transition for French households  ▶️ The ecological transition can only happen if all households have access to solutions. The issue of access to transition solutions is therefore crucial for climate policies.  ❓ Where do we stand today in France? Do all households have access to the ecological transition? What about low- and middle-income households?  👉 Read the report by Charlotte Vailles and Sirine Ousaci from #I4CE https://lnkd.in/ePQZ8e9k #EcologicalTransition #PublicFinance #Investments
