It feels like corporate sustainability is at a crossroads. Where will it go next?? Here’s Uplift’s 2 cents. ?? ?As geopolitical tensions rise and short-term business pressures take precedence, some companies are scaling back on once-ambitious ESG initiatives. Major players in energy, finance, and manufacturing are rethinking their commitments. But history tells us sustainability isn’t linear—it ebbs and flows with economic and political tides. While today’s climate seems uncertain, the long-term trajectory still points toward a more sustainable future. And this is a future we all need. Sustainability isn’t going away. Companies that can balance resilience, innovation, and adaptation will be best positioned when the tide shifts again. How is your company approaching sustainability in today’s evolving landscape? #Sustainability #CorporateStrategy #Leadership?

Over the past year, ESG and DEI have come under increased scrutiny from various stakeholders, including regulators, investors, and the public. While some organizations are pulling back or reframing their commitments to try and avoid controversy, others recognize that abandoning these initiatives entirely can create greater business and reputational risks. The challenge for sustainability leaders is how to move forward with confidence amid regulatory changes, business uncertainty, and conflicting stakeholder values. Uplift can help your company fortify its sustainability strategy and communications. Our combination of technical sustainability and ESG experts and trained sustainability and crisis communicators, give us a unique perspective and ability to help navigate the road ahead. #esg #sustainability #communications #responsiblebusiness #strategy

In a time when discussions about the necessity for nonprofit, sustainability, climate, and humanitarian work is being re-evaluated, we are reminded of this quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a quote that has guided our work, and reminds us that we shouldn’t take for granted the impact we can have when we work together for something greater than ourselves. #CorporateResponsibility #SustainabilityLeadership

CSRD is raising the bar for supply chain transparency! With affected companies submitting their first reports in 2025 and 2026, it’s crucial to prepare for both the direct and trickle down effects on the directive.? While the CSRD encompasses a broad range of requirements, let’s dive into the key supply chain transparency and responsibility requirements: 1?? Statement on Due Diligence: Provide a clear statement on your due diligence processes, including regular risk assessments and supplier engagement activities. 2?? Identifying and Assessing Material IROs: Detail how your company identifies and evaluates Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities (IROs) using the double materiality approach. 3?? Strategy, Business Model, and Value Chain: Demonstrate how sustainability is integrated into your business model and value chain. 4?? Material IROs Integration: Analyze how identified IROs are integrated into your broader strategy and business decisions. 5?? Policies on Material Topics: Share your company’s policies addressing material sustainability issues as per your double materiality assessment. 6?? Actions and Resources: Outline the actions and resources allocated to address these IROs. 7?? Metrics and Effectiveness Tracking: Define clear performance metrics and tools to track the effectiveness of your sustainability initiatives, especially in the supply chain. Meeting these requirements ensures your company is prepared for CSRD compliance, fostering transparency and building trust with stakeholders.? Dive deeper into each requirement in our blog post below covering actionable for preparing for CSRD Compliance #CSRD #Sustainability #SupplyChain #ESG #Compliance #DueDiligence #DoubleMateriality https://lnkd.in/dYznSgFW
