It’s important to dedicate a day to highlight the importance of protecting our planet. 🌍 These conversations matter. But what happens after today? What happens when the discussion fades away? For us, the work continues… 🌳 Read our 2023 Sustainability Report: https://okt.to/3nuXTY We have – once again – laid out our own numbers to hold us accountable to our 2023 aims. Over the past year, we’ve made a concerted effort aimed towards our three Corporate Social Responsibility focus areas. 🙌💥 We’re proud to see that we’ve truly made a difference. And in the industry, we see potential for a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsible future. Today, we hope to see more companies make a similar commitment to change. It starts with talk, but driving positive change is about the action that follows. #WeAreApex #SustainabilityReport #ESG #EarthDay #EarthDay2024 #Sustainability | Peter Hughes | Lakshmi Woodings | Sheril James | Chantal Cantin | Emma Bickerstaffe

We released our ESG report today. Let me know if you would like to receive one of these in the mail.

The JSE hosted a Sustainability Showcase over the last couple of days, including insightful presentations from issuer representatives and other sector experts. The Showcase reinforced the increasing importance of sustainability and ESG considerations for corporates and institutional investors. There were many interesting insights, including a session focusing on natural capital assets facilitated by Kelvin Massingham from FSD Africa. He highlighted that 62% of Africa’s GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature. In South Africa that number is 80%. This emphasizes the need for increased focus on nature-based solutions, in the same way that we are now focusing on renewable energy to address the current energy constraints in South Africa, and the broader climate crisis. These efforts are now buttressed by the COP15 Global Biodiversity Framework and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), amongst others.

We recognize our unique opportunity — and our responsibility — to drive positive change while creating sustainable value for our business, our customers, and society. That's why we're committed to becoming net zero by 2040. Read our full 2023 (FY22) Sustainability Report (in partnership with our parent company Tennant Company), which marks the conclusion of our previous sustainability strategy developed in 2014. The report details our sustainability and ESG commitments, along with progress and actions. 👇 #Sustainability #EarthDay

This week, Assent released our 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report. The work embedded within this report is a really important reason why I choose Assent! TLDR? These are my 3 takeaways from it: DEI: Reaching & surpassing a 1:1 ratio of women to men is a proud achievement, exceeding our targets. On this note - we were recently featured in United Nations Global Compact's newly launched Toolkit focused on Gender Equity Solutions: https://lnkd.in/gpN4swTn  Team Growth: Coaching, learning and curiosity have been important career values of mine. I became a leader early in my career and developed curiosity for growth and progression through coaching in sport. We surpassed our baseline target this year in providing our team members with meaningful career paths resulting in more than 200 new job transitions (adventures!) internally. Team Prosperity: This past year, our teams participated in community volunteering, engaged with our new ERGs and enhanced our collaborations with our global, hybrid teams through meaningful & social connections.

Given the revolution in sustainability, the pressure on organizations and persistent ambiguity, it’s hardly surprising that the role of the Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO) has swollen to almost unmanageable dimensions. It is marked by fuzzy mandates, crossed reporting lines and multiple demands.  In Part Two of our special report, we take the role as our starting point. If the CSO is only part of the answer to the sustainability challenge, it is still an essential part. https://lnkd.in/dznXRfvk
