🌱 Why Every Company in the EU's Logistics and Food Production Sector Should Consider a Chief Sustainable Officer In the context of the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) regulations, especially for companies within the EU's logistics and food production sectors, integrating sustainability isn't just a moral imperative; it's a strategic advantage. For a company with a €100 million turnover, here's why: 📈 Profit Potential: Companies actively integrating ESG principles can see significant gains. While it's challenging to pinpoint exact figures due to varying factors, a proactive stance on sustainability can lead to improved brand loyalty, operational efficiencies, and market positioning, potentially boosting your bottom line by a noticeable margin. 🚫 Penalty Risks: Non-compliance with ESG regulations can result in hefty fines. Though these can vary widely, penalties can reach up to 5-10% of annual global turnover for severe violations, making ignorance an expensive risk. 🌍 Global Impact: Beyond finances, embracing ESG principles means contributing positively to our planet and society—a reward in its own right. 💡 Action over Words: Many companies promise to prioritize sustainability "soon," but only those who act will thrive in tomorrow's market. 📊 EBT Increase: Implementing ESG measures isn't just about avoiding penalties; it's about seizing opportunities to elevate your Earnings Before Taxes (EBT), ensuring long-term viability and success. Let's not wait. The time for discussion has passed; the time for action is now. For a better world and a stronger company. Freshcon GmbH #IFS #Logistics #ESG

"Beyond the Green Hype: The True Cost of Greenwashing 🌍 This article👇🏼 in the Harvard Business Review is very good for understanding the impact of this practice. Greenwashing, the practice of making misleading claims about a product, service, or company's environmental benefits, can have significant repercussions for businesses. Here are five key takeaways from the article: ▶️ Consumer Distrust: Greenwashing erodes consumer trust. When consumers discover that environmental claims are exaggerated or false, they can significantly lose brand credibility and customer loyalty. ▶️ Regulatory Scrutiny: As governments and regulatory bodies become more vigilant about environmental claims, companies engaging in greenwashing face increased scrutiny, fines, and legal repercussions, which can impact their bottom line. ▶️ Investor Backlash: Investors are increasingly prioritizing sustainability. Companies caught greenwashing risk losing investor confidence, leading to potential divestment and decreased stock value. ▶️ Employee Morale: Greenwashing can demoralize employees who value corporate integrity and environmental responsibility. This can lead to reduced productivity, higher turnover rates, and difficulty attracting top talent. ▶️ Competitive Disadvantage: Authentic sustainability initiatives are a competitive edge. Companies found greenwashing not only lose this edge but also damage their market position, as consumers and partners opt for genuinely sustainable alternatives. Unfortunately, it is a reality, but thousands of companies and organizations are creating a real impact.

Lately I've been reflecting on anti-ESG news I'm reading and what it means for the future of ESG. As a preparer of ESG disclosures, my take on it is that ESG is just getting harder. With the initial momentum behind us, what is left to accomplish are complex challenges like global tracking of plastic packaging attributes, or keeping a net-zero plan on track while a successful business is ultimately growing its overall footprint. And these things are really not easy - it's easier to just stop trying and focus somewhere else. Perhaps the focus on ESG metrics will wane, but a business that is interested in long-term viability will always benefit from understanding its impact on the planet, and how the planet impacts its business. It is an unavoidable reality that the planet is always changing, and it is proven through history. As long as the data points are relevant and reliable, ESG information is crucial to understanding your business holistically and how you will need to pivot over the years. With that said, I'm proud to be a part of the issuance of Loblaw's 17th annual ESG report and 2nd annual ESG data sheets. We cover a whole lot of different topics and provide more metrics than we ever have - all while making sure our disclosure - and progress - is transparent and accurate. I hope you will read it!
