How can business leaders demonstrate genuine progress on climate and biodiversity commitments while avoiding the pitfalls of greenwashing?

It's great to see the importance of nature being recognised, which is increasingly reflected both in the nature reporting landscape and how organisations are embedding nature into their sustainability strategies.

Every first and third Sunday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. There’s a saying in sustainability circles: What gets measured, gets changed. And this applies particularly to companies, which are the major source of carbon emissions heating up the planet. Companies are also top sources of damage to nature, especially biodiversity loss. Corporate supply chains, products and services all have a carbon and nature footprint. So, what companies, as well as cities and public institutions, decide really matters.

Climate change is important but there are other aspects of Sustainability to concider aa well. Biodiversity Loss is one of these.

A few years ago, we launched a sustainability strategy with ambitious goals in three key areas: climate action, circularity and responsible business. However, in light of the world's current triple planetary crisis – climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss – we recently revised our strategy to enhance our focus on biodiversity. Our ambition for the future is to be net positive, which means that we will take actions to avoid and reduce our impacts on nature. In addition, we will engage in restoration and regeneration of nature to positively balance our negative impact. As we work towards this ambition, we believe in being transparent about our progress. That’s why we have chosen to become an adopter of the TNFD initiative, which stands for Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). TNFD provides a framework for companies to assess and report their impacts on nature, as well as a process for evaluating and addressing priorities, with the aim of shifting global financial flows away from outcomes that harm nature and towards positive ones.  Committing to TNFD is not about planning for the next quarter but for the next generation. It's a small but important step as we strive towards a more sustainable future.  #internationalbiodiversityday

Did you miss it? The 10YFP Board and SCP Partners meeting, took place just before UNEA6 and sought to profile sustainable consumption and production and circular economy approaches #SDG12 within the context of the UNEA6 theme of “Effective, inclusive, and sustainable multilateral actions against climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.” Across five thematic sessions delegates discussed about tools and initiatives developed by the One Planet network - 10YFP and its partners as it relates to digitalization, food systems, circularity & business, multilateral dialogues and sustainability data gaps.
