Businesses and financial institutions are uniting and calling on governments to provide the regulatory certainty they need to transform their operations and supply chains as they work toward a sustainable future. The Business for Nature coalition recently published five high-level recommendations and 20 detailed policy asks for governments to accelerate the action needed on nature. The policy recommendations call on governments to urgently adopt policies to: 🌎 Make sure business and finance protect and restore nature 🌎 Ensure natural resources are used and managed sustainably to reduce negative environmental impacts 🌎 Value and embed nature in decision-making and disclosure 🌎 Align all financial flows to a transition to a nature-positive, net-zero and equitable economy 🌎 Adopt/strengthen ambitious global agreements to address key nature loss challenges This is an urgent appeal to governments for their immediate leadership to strengthen the policies, incentives and legislation that will drive the necessary business action to halt and reverse nature loss this decade. 🔗 Read the policy recommendations: https://lnkd.in/e7ZP58hD #naturebasedsolutions #netzero #sustainablebusinesss #sustainablefinance

The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) are bringing new attention to the governance of sustainability within organizations. A pragmatic approach to compliance with these complementary laws can deliver true transformational change.

BSR's Global Lead, Human Trafficking and Forced Labor Claudio Formisano highlights Tech Against Trafficking's leadership in the field, as showcased once again in this year's Trafficking in Persons Report issued by the U.S. Department of State. #supplychainmanagement #bizhumanrights #sustainablebusiness #supplychains
For the second year in a row, the U.S. Department of State Trafficking in Persons Report has made reference to our BSR led collaborative initiative Tech Against Trafficking, which I have the privilege to lead alongside a fantastic team of experts. I welcome this year's report focus on the role of #digitaltechnology, in particular the emphasis on data privacy and protection. The Accelerator program has taken us to support world leading anti-trafficking organizations such as Unseen UK IOM - UN Migration Polaris (formerly Polaris Project) to share data responsibly by preserving the privacy of victims. You can read more about such impact here https://shorturl.at/w0Yu8 Our research mentioned in the report has mapped over 300 tools to address modern slavery. As the business and human rights field gets more refined in creating digital solutions to unveil #forcedlabor in global supply chains, we look forward to updating our research and capture how the market has evolved in recent years. Stay tuned! #tech4good #sustainability Phil Bennett Darren Edge Leigh Anne DeWine Darren Edge Shubha C. Natalie Volin Lehr Lale Tekişalp Taylor Hannegan, Esq. Alice Pease Jiajia Chen Laura D.

Sustainability teams are facing numerous internal hurdles as they work towards advancing an energy transition that is just, fair, and inclusive. While this push has been gaining recognition and is increasingly on the agenda of multilateral organizations and governments with growing expectations for business, practitioners are struggling to understand how to initiate just transition efforts and get the right people engaged. Drawn from experience working with those who are navigating these challenges, BSR’s Ouida Chichester, Cameron Steagall, and Andrey Pertsov share four lessons on how to advance a just transition inside a company. For guidance on planning for a just transition within your company, check out BSR’s Just Transition Planning Toolkit (https://lnkd.in/e7wthB4T). or reach out to us at web@bsr.org. #regulatoryaffairs #sustainablebusiness #justtransition #cleanenergy
