2023 sustainable business trends and challenges – what to watch out for

31st January 2023

From avoiding greenwashing to facing soaring business costs, 2023 is set to be a challenging year for most business leaders to navigate.
Regulators, customers and consumers have increasing expectations for good quality, consistent information on sustainability. Communication must be accurate and meaningful because greenwashing is getting more dangerous.
Inflation and the cost of borrowing have the potential to push action on climate and sustainability down the agenda, but this is balanced by new regulation for 2023 that will help keep sustainability at the forefront for many business leaders.
As in previous years, the climate and nature crises, new regulations, geopolitical turmoil, and declining biodiversity are not going away. Sustainable business ambitions and plans are indeed facing challenges from fast-changing global conditions.
Terrafiniti’s partners Dominic Tantram and Joss Tantram share insight and opinion on the trends to watch for 2023 –the good, bad and the ugly.

Sustainable value creation

1st July 2022

Understanding the relationship between your organisation and the wider world, and identifying which issues, trends, dependencies and risks are material (important) to your business future is critical. Not just for measuring and managing impact, but also for developing resilience and responding to the changing requirements of clients, investors and wider stakeholders and ultimately maximising the opportunities for sustainable value creation.

Change is the only constant

Fear of change can block sustainable transformation

4th May 2022

Many people and companies fear and resist change due to uncertainty and perceived higher risks. But the risk of not adapting can be higher - what biases are involved and how do we move forward?

Sustainable intent – not just for Christmas

19th December 2021

Intent in sustainability can be the difference between differentiating a strong (if nascent) approach from a shallow one.
But intent can be difficult to demonstrate to a cynical world.

Biodiversity – the next crisis?

14th October 2021

While we've been concerned with action on climate and tied up with Covid19, a larger, related crisis is brewing. Businesses are waking up to the need for action on biodiversity.
Biodiversity is one of many issues organisations should consider when developing (or reviewing) sustainable business strategy. Many organisations have biodiversity-related dependencies and impacts stemming from their location, supply chains, products and services.

Fossil fuel subsidies – pouring petrol on the climate fire?

7th October 2021

An IMF report this week (6th October 2021) suggests the fossil fuel industry receives subsidies of $5.9tn per year – or a more understandable $11m per minute. The climate crisis is already big enough – why are we stoking the fire?

A planetisation of finance: Earth as a going concern

29th May 2015

The motivation behind multi-capitals approaches is to highlight their value to the economy. Why not focus upon the value of the planet as a going concern?

I agree 10 per cent – the principle of minimum consensus

18th March 2015

Instead of arguing about irrelevant details on topics we agree upon, isn't it logical to stop seeking total agreement and aim for minimum consensus?

All capitals are unequal, but some are more unequal than others

18th December 2014
