?? Staying on course when approaching storms. ?? Last week, ChangeNOW and BSR hosted a Chief Sustainability Officers gathering at Mo?t Hennessy’s headquarters to discuss insights from BSR’s new report and to share panelists' perspectives on key issues in the sustainable business landscape. Here are my top five takeaways from the event: It’s All About Scaling Impact: "Reach the early majority as soon as possible." — Kevin Tayebaly, Co-Founder, ChangeNOW The Need for Policy Support: "Self-regulation doesn’t work; policymakers need to step up." — Veronique Toully, Global Head of Sustainability, UCB Diversity and Strong Leadership are Key: "A diverse board and a committed CEO who champions sustainability make all the difference." — Iris Maria Alexis Van der Veken, Executive Director, Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 Democracy as a Business Priority: "Democracy isn’t optional for business—it’s essential. We must use every tool we have to protect it." — Aron Cramer, President and CEO, BSR Refocusing on Impact Beyond Reporting: "After reporting, we need to refocus on the goal of creating real impact." — Aron Cramer, President and CEO, BSR ?? The journey towards sustainable transformation is definitely complex and challenging, and even more so when the global context is so shifty and unpredictable, but the voices I heard at this gathering were truly inspiring and energizing. Here is the latest report of BSR, Between Two Worlds: Navigating Sustainable Business in a Turbulent Transition, which explores how sustainable business practices might evolve in the coming years. #Sustainability #BusinessLeadership #ChangeNOW #BSR #Impact #SustainableBusiness #LeadershipForChange #CorporateResponsibility ?? ?? ??

What I’m Trying to Build I believe that true success lies not just in what we build, but in how we build it, and in the legacy we leave behind. Pura Vida Eco-Cottage is the embodiment of that belief—a vision where sustainable luxury meets a deep connection with nature. It’s a place where people come not just to visit, but to reconnect with the world around them, and within themselves. The foundation of this project is built on a few core values: people, sustainability, and community. We are creating a sanctuary in Costa Rica where guests experience the breathtaking beauty of nature while contributing to its preservation. Every cabin, every experience, is designed with the smallest possible environmental footprint and the largest possible impact on well-being. This isn’t just a business; it’s a movement toward mindful, responsible living. At the heart of Pura Vida Eco-Cottage is a leadership philosophy inspired by pioneers like Simon Sinek and Bob Chapman. Leadership, to me, is about service—putting people first, creating an environment where everyone feels valued, and fostering a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration. I envision leading a team that thrives not because of pressure, but because they believe in the purpose behind what they’re building. It’s not about numbers or targets; it’s about people who find meaning in their work, and in doing so, give their best. If my dream comes true, this will be more than an eco-lodge. It will be a place where people—guests, team members, and the local community—grow together. It’s about building a legacy that goes beyond profits, creating a lasting positive impact on both the environment and humanity. puravidaeco-cottage.com #Sustainability #Leadership #MindfulLiving #PuraVida #EcoCottage #BobChapman #SimonSinek #BuildForTomorrow

Advocating for more Socio-Economic Development (SED) and less CSR/CSI as we build a resilient community and future, our Social Impact and Sustainability Lead Wanetsha Mosinyi who was speaking at the inaugural CSR Summit 2024, highlighted that SED does not attract immediate popularity, as it requires long term investment, both in resources and time. Delivering a masterclass titled ‘???????????????? ?? ???????????????????? ??????????’, Wanetsha focused on innovative approaches and strategies, exploring new opportunities, and providing compelling case studies. He buttressed the need for organizations to utilize tools such as Theory of Change where companies need to first determine long term impact in order to ensure sustainability of projects. Wanetsha highlighted three steps towards building a purpose led brand as 1) Believing in the power of purpose, 2) Acting with intent and 3) Connecting with Consumers. Spotlighting Okavango Eternal - a Building Forever initiative that demonstrates De Beers Group commitment to sustaining livelihoods and protecting the natural world, while telling the Botswana natural diamond story to the world - he also shared the idea of infusing inspiration from nature to influence jewelry design. A classic case in point is the Enchanted Lotus High Jewelry Collection which drew inspiration from the lotus flower for its natural beauty and symbolic meaning. The lotus flower is found in abundance in the famous Okavango Delta and every time a purchase is made a connection is made with the people of the delta. In ending Wanetsha left the audience with the following poignant point to ruminate on: “If you can’t measure it, it doesn’t exist” Carrie Bench #BuildingForever #MakeLifeBrilliant #BuildingSustainableLivelihoods

The Impact of Social Responsibility on Brand Reputation _________________________________________________________________________ Social responsibility is playing an important role for modern businesses. Companies like Patagonia and Ben & Jerry’s excel in this area. Patagonia focuses on environmental sustainability. They use recycled materials and support conservation efforts. Ben & Jerry’s promotes social justice and fair trade. They advocate for climate action and human rights. These actions are not just for show. They are deeply embedded in their business models. Customers notice and appreciate these efforts. Loyalty increases when people see a company doing good. Public perception also improves. People are more likely to trust and support ethical brands. In the long run, this boosts brand reputation and sales. Ethical practices are essential for lasting success in business. Businesses that care about the world build stronger connections.
