“Next Generation” stands for our commitment to good corporate governance, to taking responsibility for respecting human rights along the supply chain and to reducing our environmental footprint. By integrating environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) priorities into our strategies, we’ve not only done good but also outperformed financially. Our purpose is the improvement of the quality of life for all through technology. Together, we build a future where profitability and responsibility go hand in hand.

🚌 📚 It's September which means 'back to school'! How are you getting yourself organized for the rest of the year, and planning for 2025? Are you still pouring over separate notebooks, binders, and the occasional loose leaf print-outs that inevitably get crumbled in your backpack? Or have you leveled-up to a digital notebook that keeps you organized? If you want to be successful, in school as in life, you need to be organized. That's exactly the value Position Green software brought to Sustainable Investment customer Galway Sustainable Capital, Inc: "Before using Position Green, we relied on Word documents and spreadsheets to collect information and manage data for our due diligence questionnaires and annual impact report. ... We realized we needed a more scalable system to expand and enhance our quantitative impact reporting and data collection while creating a more streamlined tool for our prospective partners." #sustainableinvesting #impactinvesting #sustainabilitydata

How are companies navigating the benefits, challenges and opportunities of our shifting regulatory environment? Last week we shared some of the key findings from our second wave of research with our Sustainability Leaders Panel – a collective of over 150 senior sustainability executives working in businesses across the world. This time, we explored how companies are approaching the increasingly complex sustainability reporting and disclosure landscape, the impact it is having on sustainability internally, what’s working (and what’s not!) and how to maximise the impact on the business and society. Find out what we learnt below and read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eDRWbWa7

Given the importance of the mid-market to global sustainability, it's key that we understand the obstacles it encounters in this area. One of the main barriers identified in our research is cost. So why should businesses invest in sustainability initiatives? And how can collaboration between businesses and nations unlock the path to a more sustainable future? Sarah Carroll, our director of sustainability reporting, examines the issue in her latest LinkedIn article. https://grnt.tn/vnD #sustainability #ESG

“CSRD will drive the sustainability transformation.” Dubious? Yep, I was too. But after a couple of days at the Sustainable Europe event by Reuters Events, I have to admit… my opinion is shifting. I wasn’t the only one who thinks reporting and disclosure are often a can of worms 🙃  But hearing experts like Dr Sally Uren and Sherry Madera argue the benefits of disclosure in terms of the 'ABCs' (what they guarantee in terms of Allocation of capital, Business efficiency, and Compliance) was both reassuring and eye-opening. What really stood out were the candid, concrete, and practical discussions on Scope 3, incoming regulations, data challenges, and the whole sustainability toolkit. In my opinion, having been to numerous sustainability events this year, the panels at 133 Houndsditch were refreshingly real and actionable. ️ Highlights? Some fantastic, genuine conversations with others on this journey—reaffirming that the push towards a sustainable, regenerative future is gaining real momentum... ... and the never-ending coffee refills. Though that goes without saying 😉 ☕

With a new taskforce created to oversee the UK’s adoption of the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) corporate reporting standards, this past month has seen some clarity for companies asking for simplified sustainability reporting.
