Global Risks 2022

12th January 2022

Most major sustainability issues have important risk dimensions for companies – and societies. In many cases these are still not adequately represented in board-level discussion, company risk assessments or registers.
WEF’s Global Risk Report provides a very useful, comprehensive global review and outlook upon what is important, and this article provides an overview of 2022’s report.

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.

Certified Real Greenwash

Certified Greenwashing – Real Greenwash Kitemark

8th December 2021

To-date, claiming environmental credentials has been somewhat of a niche activity. But now that consumers, governments and even a few companies are waking up to the power of blah blah blah - greenwashing really has gone mainstream.
There’s so much activity it can be difficult to keep up and not be overwhelmed with who’s claiming what and on what basis – or perhaps more importantly - what lack of basis.
It’s time to get professional. So, we’re pleased to announce the new Real Greenwash KitemarkTM.

COP26 What was achieved?

COP 26 – WHAT WAS ACHIEVED?

17th November 2021

Overall Glasgow’s COP26 made good progress in some areas but failed to move others forward - what was really achieved? The world is still way off track for the Paris 1.5 degrees C – the widely accepted target that only really represents ‘hopefully not too dangerous’.

Climate disclosure & ISSB the end of greenwashing

Now climate disclosure means business – COP 26 and ISSB

8th November 2021

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?

Choice is an illusion

28th January 2021

Choice is a leading aspect of modern life and is a powerful tool in the marketplace. But how much is real and how much of this choice is an illusion? And where does responsibility lie to choose sustainability?
Should it lie with consumers encouraging businesses to converge with their values?
Or are the issues so important for long-term wellbeing and quality of life that the appearance of choice is an illusion and businesses must place sustainability in the heart of their business models?

You might be familiar with using a hierarchy to save waste or carbon.
But what if you want to conserve your own personal energy?
