We are in a #sustainability chapter of #conflict. Customers demand #transparency and #tracing from companies yet #greenwashing and backpedaling is abundant. Sending the right message matters. Supply chain alignment and 3rd party certifications are key! sustainablebrands.com/read/m…

Long-term #sustainability means having a #legacy plan that integrates inevitable changes. What not to do: Despite rising green energy, #Saudi Arabian minister of #energy said: “We are still going to be the last man standing, and every molecule of hydrocarbon will come out.”

#SBTi report shows progress! Businesses are better tracking and reducing #emissions. How? Setting clear goals and guiding their supply chains to follow; Forming cohorts and pooling economic power to encourage change; teaching others how to lead. #smallactionsbigdifference

Not #sponsored, just a good resource! The Honest Product Guide from @futerra highlights the key to connecting with consumers: #transparency. In our world - highly connected, informed, and inundated with messaging - What's "Behind the Brand"? zurl.co/VhIi

Advice from @Professor Katy Milkman, @Wharton professor and author, about #NewYearsResolution s also applies to making last change in organizations: 1) Have a growth mindset. Change is possible and achievable, 2) Find out what's in the way, 3) Break it into bite-sized increments

In December 2023, 10% of all job postings were for fully remote positions, yet 46% of all applications went to those positions. Bridging the gap between what managers want and what employees want is key to long-term #sustainability! Companies are just made up of people! #WFH #TRO

Great read about how @iptiQ an *insurance company* strives to build #trust. Applicable lesson: Don't #automate everything. Allow your employees to be full humans at work, and let your customers interact with them VS a faceless online portal! #ethicalAI zurl.co/6O5Q

"Rebuilding trust" is the theme of this year's #Davos meeting of the @World Economic Forum. #Trust is a #KPI to monitor with today's rising conflicts, polarization and economic unrest. @Forbes study shows people trust #business leaders more than they trust #political leaders!

Great interview about the "gift of time!" 🔍 #Trust and #Transparency take time to build. Empowering employees, keeping your stakeholders informed are powerful intangible assets which serve you greatly! #TransparencyMatters #smallactionsbigdifference csrwire.com/press_releases/7…

This holiday season, remember the #Social competent of #ESG. Report by @The Conference Board finds that 50% of workers are not happy with their compensation. Top priorities: location & hour flexibility, aligned incentives, and PTO! #Empowered #employees = #sustainable #success

Good example from @Taskrabbit re: setting #sustainable workplace norms: #motivation and #productivity lessens during the holidays. So "recharge" week was established between #Christmas and #NewYears to give all employees time off to truly unwind, knowing they wont be pinged!

Negotiators at #COP28 decide whether the world commits to a "phase out" of #fossilfuels or a "phase down." Remember that your business can decide for itself immediately! Great @BCG report showing the benefits of #decarbonizing. #smallactionsbigdifference bcg.com/publications/2023/wh…

Expected fight on the path to #sustainability at #COP28. #SultanAlJabar, president of this year's COP and executive of #Adnoc says to one group that there is "no science" to motivate #fossilfuel phaseouts/ to another fights adamantly for them. We need clarity from #leadership!

#COP28 Happy to see @UN Global #Stocktake Report telling world leaders lessons I've taught my students for years! #smallactionsbigdifference. #Consumers have immense power to generate or reduce #emissions. #Corporations can leverage their intangible assets for #sustainability!

All eyes on #COP28 for the #future of #sustainability. Oil and natural gas industries have continued to invest in new production, out of step with global #netzero goals. Be ready to dispel the common #myth that burning fossil fuels is necessary to produce #petroleum byproducts!

Seasonal case study in #sustainability: American classic company @RadioFlyer is thinking towards the long-term. #Ownership and a habit of sustainability is instilled in every member of the company - enabling multiple strategies to develop simultaneously! zurl.co/tlAa

#smallactionsbigdifference The @IEA World Energy Outlook report makes clear the #opportunity in using #solar. Currently, the world's #manufacturing capacity exceeds what is being deployed. Our world need to get to #netzero, and those who transition early will do very well!

Uplifting momentum from this year's @IEA World Energy Outlook #report. Investment in #cleanenergy continues to outstrip #fossilfuels. Compared to 2020 projections, the world has deployed more #EVs and #solar PVs than expected. More work to be done, but accelerating #sustainably!

More The State of Food and Agriculture 2023 findings: "hidden" agrifood costs on the environment = nearly one-third of agricultural value added(!) This signals a strong need for #sustainable reform in #agriculture practices. Businesses who #innovate can do well by doing good!
