The #PromptPaymentCode commitment should be a requirement for all business as usual. Being a corporate citizen means paying suppliers fairly and on time. Ethical buyers can see signatories by tracking their suppliers in tiscreport #makeadifference#spendwithyourvalues
The UK’s Prompt Payment Code is set to be replaced later this year by the Fair Payment Code, marking a significant shift in how businesses are rewarded for treating their suppliers fairly and paying them promptly: bit.ly/4eCHXKj

As 260 millionaires tell Davos they'd be proud to pay more tax, a new poll finds that 3 in 4 millionaires support higher taxes on extreme wealth, which they see as a threat to democracy. What's stopping our political leaders from safeguarding democracy?

A word for @ASPolice tonight - kept their distance, kept people safe, recognised the huge & potentially volatile crowd weren’t the ones there for trouble, showed incredible restraint not to escalate when an arrest threaten to kick off & did a sterling job all round.
Fair play

The scale of the turn out to stand against the possibility of the far-right targeting of a law firm in Old Market, Bristol, is huge.

oh so very proud of my city of #Bristol in the face of far-right violence at the weekend. Thanks to our brave Bristolians protecting innocent refugee families and to @TristanCorkPost for reporting with integrity #WeAreBristol
Outside a hotel in Redcliffe, Bristol - the hotel is being protected by hundreds of Bristolians shouting ‘We are many, you are few. We are Bristol, who are you?’ to a group of around 100 protesters who had marched on the hotel

URGENT: do you live/work in the Granby Hill, Hotwells area of #Bristol? Doorbell cam and CCTV footage needed for early morning of 2nd March when Jack O’Sullivan went missing. Jack’s phone placed him in this area at 5.40am that morning. #findjackfindjackosullivan.co.uk/
Does anyone else worry we're mismeasuring our way to a planetary meltdown? Self-certification for key ESG metrics isn’t working and is not a reliable way to show corporate action on #supplychain#HREDD. We need #corporatetransparency now more than ever..
The strain on supply chains has been unyielding, showing no signs of stopping.
We've observed several critical issues that are likely to remain at the forefront in the upcoming months. Here’s a round-up of some of those issues: bit.ly/3WiG5hO#SupplyChain#Greenwashing

The tragic news of the murder of two boys due to #knifecrime has saddened me greatly. My heart aches and my deepest sympathy go out to their families, friends and neighbours. As a community, we stand together against all criminals.
There is no right reason to carry a #knife.
