Over 130 companies, including Unilever, Nestlé, IKEA, and Kering, have urged world leaders to take stronger action against biodiversity loss ahead of the United Nations' #COP16 Biodiversity Conference. The companies, part of the Business for Nature coalition and representing $1.1 trillion in combined revenues, are advocating for faster implementation of the #BiodiversityPlan, which aims to conserve and restore ecosystems by 2030. Signatory countries are expected to submit plans to meet goals like reducing pesticide use and promoting sustainable agriculture, though the U.S. is not among the signatories.

Suppliers are critical partners in advancing sustainability programs. However, companies often have a supplier base with different levels of resources and progress. As a result, coordinating a program that effectively engages suppliers can be a lot of effort. To unlock the benefits of supplier progress, it helps to first understand the barriers to working across the value chain and identify appropriate strategies for overcoming these barriers. This includes using a platform that empowers suppliers such as Pure Supply™ to engage, educate, and execute sustainability efforts with suppliers.

The Science Based Targets initiative says “To track towards supplier engagement targets, companies need to implement an effective supplier information or data-collection solution." We are doing just that! Pure Strategies' Tim Greiner (Co-Founder and Managing Director) and Lou Tarricone (Senior Sustainability Advisor) headlined a recent Environmental Defense Fund EDF + Business webinar with Samantha Sturgeon (Product Development and Sustainability Manager, Radio Flyer), moderated by EDF's Naledi S. The four reviewed practical strategies for maximizing your supplier engagement approach and effectively managing your supply chain impacts — highlighting solutions, tools, and best practice success stories. Tim and Lou also introduced Pure Strategies' new Pure Supply™ platform, which provides a way to engage, educate, and execute solutions in the supply chain, empowering suppliers with clear information, guidance, and support for reaching renewable energy and climate targets.

New research shows that 58% of the largest companies in the U.S. are staying silent on genuine ESG progress due to greenwashing concerns. With global ESG assets over $30 trillion in 2022 and 85% of investors believing ESG assets yield better returns, according to Bloomberg as well as Kroll and Kyushu University, companies risk missing out on investments and consumer connections by not communicating their sustainability efforts. Brand Finance indicates that major brands are losing billions of dollars by failing to highlight their sustainability achievements. Additionally, Connected Impact and Ringer Sciences have revealed significant gaps between social media ESG messaging and actual disclosures in reports and corporate documents.
