When we say that 2023 is the "year of opportunity"... When we emphasise that we not only care about the environment but want to actively participate in preserving it... When we claim that our business network is not only global but one that connects us - and you - with top-tier entities... When we declare that "Together We Are Shaping The Future"... This new development is one of the many exceptional advancements of which we are proud and are talking about. The Global Chamber of Business Leaders has joined the prestigious community of the Global Plastics Treaty Business Coalition! It's a monumental feat as we join with over 100 renowned business entities with a view to treating with the issue of plastic pollution, creating awareness, educating the public and collaborating, etc. These business entities include: • 3M • Ikea • Coco Cola • L'oreal • Aldi • Pepsico • Nestle • H&M Group • Walmart As the world experiences certain environmental and ecological challenges, we remain committed to doing our part to secure collective success of varying degrees.

I wonder what Paul Polman makes of this? Less than 5 years after his departure, the business that led the global sustainability movement has announced a U-turn on its ESG strategy. Unceremoniously binning some key sustainability targets. We have soaked up the Greenwash and Spin like a dirty sock in a washing machine For many, this is a moment to weep. But for me, it is a moment to celebrate. Why? Because it highlights that our system is broken. The reality is: ❌Unilever have been too slow to act ❌Unilever have been too cautious in acting at scale ❌Unilever haven’t had the courage to say to the markets “F**k you and your focus on short term profits irrespective of the cost to the planet” Most Global Businesses have watched from the sidelines, cherrypicking sustainability initiatives that suggest to the outside world that they are taking the issue seriously; whilst most CSO’s will tell you they are not. Being a Chief Sustainability Officer is, in most organisations, a thankless task. We cannot wait for politics and big business to save us… we need every SME business to take the lead and drive the agenda forward in a million communities around the world.

The time to act was 50 years ago, but profits first and the earth second has been the only choice by all, with no exclusions, without being able to cover fixed obligations, the entirety of any positive impact initiative would be dead before it started. The EPR came giving a semblance to reprieve to this end and has allowed some amount of revenue to go towards projects that would have remained purely ideas without, but so much more is needed to completely shift the problems we face to the solutions that are needed. We have the technology, we have the secondary resources, we have the knowledge, but we lack the ability to change collectively due to lobbyists that favour profit/power over the well-being of the masses and Earth at large.

In 2023, we continued to make strides in our sustainability efforts. Our most important contribution to sustainable development lies in supporting the health of people, impacting over 8 million individuals worldwide every day.🌍 Lundbeck collaborated with international and local advocacy groups to raise awareness about neurological diseases. Their efforts included supporting healthcare professionals, combating stigma, and empowering people living with these conditions. In 2023, we made a new agreement with the Red Cross to support mental health and psychosocial services in Ukraine in the coming years. Eight out of ten of our 2023 sustainability targets have been achieved or are on track. For example, we successfully increased the share of women in senior management. While our scope 3 emissions increased due to business growth, we achieved a decoupling of growth and scope 3 emissions. Additionally, we signed more than 50 suppliers up for climate commitments. To further reduce our carbon footprint, we adopted solar energy sources at production sites and secured commitments from over 50 suppliers to use renewable electricity. Furthermore, Lundbeck heavily invested in chemical recycling, benefiting both the climate and the environment. These efforts reflect Lundbeck’s commitment to sustainability, health, and a better future for all.

It was so incredibly inspiring to attend SUSTAINABILITY LIVE this week. It was PACKED with incredible people working relentlessly to move away from 'business as usual', intentionally, bravely, disrupting in order to create a better business world for future generations. Here are 3 key points from my initial reflection: Firstly Fabrice Beaulieu of Reckitt made it clear that customers want brands to make society better. If your brand does not do this you will be obsolete. Secondly Rhian Kelly from National Grid spoke about how the vast majority of people want to work for companies with strong sustainability goals. Thirdly Schneider Electric's Katie Mills said that 80% of the graduates that apply to Schenider do so because of their sustainability strategy. This is where B Corp really comes into it's own. If your businesses is committed to doing good, you need to be able to prove it. To your customers, to your employees, to all your stakeholders. B Corp certification proves you are not greenwashing, that you are not involved in just some clever marketing or are only prepared to show the good bits of the business. Get in touch if you would like to learn more, about B Corp in general or about how I can help you on your journey to certification. Let's work together to create a safe, fair world. It isn't too late, yet. #bcorp #bcorpcertified #betterbusiness #sustainablebusiness #ethicalbusiness #noplanetb #thetimeisnow

🌍 Delighted to have attended the ChangeNOW Summit in Paris, dedicated to solutions and innovations for our planet. It was truly inspiring to engage with so many passionate individuals on the crucial environmental objectives that we all have to protect the planet. 🎯 On the road to 2050, #businesses must strengthen the implementation of carbon reduction strategies to address emissions across all scopes. 🌱 A special shoutout to the panelists Luiz Fernando do Amaral, Cyril Garcia, Cléa Martinet, and Antoine Vanlaeys for their insightful speeches during the conference "Carbon Reduction: From Strategies To Concrete Action". 🗣️ As @Luiz said, "You don't manage what you don't measure." The first step of the challenge is to collect data on our carbon footprint. 🤝Thank you Luiz Fernando do Amaral for highlighting Unilever as a good example of a company that has standardized measurement and collaborates closely with other companies to gather data and reduce Scope 3 emissions within the supply chain. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ejp4qbrb Rebecca Marmot, Nicolas Liabeuf, Sophie Jayet-Creusot #ChangeNow2024 #Sustainability #Carbonfootprint #Decarbonization #CSR #Unilever #Sdgs
