Welcome to this week's edition of the Sustainability Newsletter. This newsletter will update you with the latest news and information in the sustainability sector to help your business transition towards a greener future.
The urgency of sustainability is undeniable. From climate change to resource depletion, businesses face a growing responsibility to operate in an environmentally and socially conscious way. But simply complying with regulations isn't enough.
For many businesses, sustainability has been about minimising negative impacts – a focus on "doing no harm." But this approach is no longer enough. Consumers, especially younger generations, demand more. They expect companies to be active contributors to a healthier planet and society.
This raises the question: what is "good enough" for sustainability?
One way to think about it is to move beyond ESG as a simple obligation, it's time to go beyond compliance.
In the news this week, ERM环境资源管理 announced a partnership with Workiva to streamline real-time data collection for ESG disclosures. Elsewhere, a report from 摩根士丹利 revealed that 85% of surveyed companies view sustainability initiatives as a value-creation opportunity. Finally, Diageo announced a €100 million investment to decarbonise the historic Guinness production facility.
