Is American Business Going Silent on Climate Change? #ClimateAction #ESG There's a concerning trend in US corporate filings: references to climate change have plummeted 60% this year among the top 100 companies, according to a Bloomberg analysis. This contrasts with Europe, where mentions only dipped 10%. Why should we care? Actions speak louder than words, but a company's rhetoric can still be revealing. This decline suggests US firms are wary of getting caught in the ESG crossfire. The backlash against sustainable investing and high-profile stumbles like Bud Light's "climate messaging" reinforce this cautiousness. Europe's Different Tune Across the pond, climate change remains a less politicized issue. While the speed of decarbonization is debated, there's broader agreement on the need for action. This is reflected in ongoing conversations among European businesses. The Bottom Line The question now is: will US companies' silence translate to inaction? European firms already have a strong ESG track record (awarded 44% of global ESG leadership positions by CDP!), suggesting a herd mentality on these issues. So, a company's location and its peers' behavior will likely influence its climate commitment. A Diverging Path? If US public discourse discourages climate action discussions, it could create a significant gap with Europe. Time will tell if this translates to a real difference in corporate behavior. Let's focus on what companies do, not just what they say (or don't say). #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis https://flip.it/1-DSBz

Delighted, but unsurprised, to hear that more companies are committing to offset-inclusive net zero strategies; and that those who incorporate the use of carbon offsets are twice as likely to have near-term Science Based Targets (SBTi), and three times more likely to have net zero targets that cover the full value chain. Keep up the good work, Friends #climateaction #climateimpact Climate Impact Partners

🌍 Climate leadership: A must for future-proofing or just a trend? 45% of Fortune Global 500 companies pledged net zero, up from 39% last year. This increase reflects heightened climate ambition despite the greenwashing spotlight. North American companies lead with 79% adopting climate goals. This is significant given regional political dynamics. Yet, 42% rely on carbon credits—a controversial method. My take? Emissions reductions must accompany net zero pledges to truly progress against the climate crisis. Empty promises won't suffice. Companies face these challenges in their climate strategies: - Regulatory influences: Can either support or hinder. - Financial constraints: Affect sustainability efforts. The truth is that forward-thinking companies see climate leadership as essential for future-proofing in a carbon-constrained world. Rising targets mean real impact if combined with transparency 🔍 and accountability 💯. What are your thoughts on corporations accelerating climate action amid today’s challenges? Remember, climate leadership is not just about future-proofing. It's a commitment to real progress. #sustainability #triply #climatechange
