De Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) zou hét nieuwe fundament worden onder duurzaamheidsrapportage in Europa. Maar de praktijk blijkt weerbarstig. De Europese Commissie kwam met eenstop-the-clockbesluit, vereenvoudigde de standaarden en stelde verplichtingen uit. Wat betekent dat voor bedrijven, voor accountants en voor de maatschappij?In deze aflevering vanVitamine Aspreken we metErik Boonen (PwC). Hij volgt de Europese en Nederlandse wetgeving op de voet en deelt zijn inzichten over:Hetstop-the-clockmoment en de gevolgen voor grote bedrijven en hun accountantsDe quick fix voor Wave 1-bedrijven en het uitstel van verplichtingen voor anderenDe spanning tussen regels en intrinsieke motivatie in duurzaamheidsverslaggevingDe rol van accountants in het creëren van vertrouwen en transparantieHoe de standaarden zich verder ontwikkelen en waar we over een paar jaar staan

One of the biggest challenges for those looking to achieve Net Zero is tackling scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions that typically reside in your supply chain. These can account for up to 70% of your total emissions and can be quite the undertaking to gather the necessary data to be able to complete your calculations needed for carbon verification. In the final episode of the Platform to Proof mini-series, we invite Jay Ruckelshaus, Co-Founder and Head of Policy and Partnerships at Gravity, back onto the podcast to explain how to tackle scope 3 emissions, how it works in practice and how carbon accounting software can streamline the process.   You'll learn ·      What are scope 3 emissions? ·      What are the drivers for those tackling scope 3 emissions? ·      Where to start with scope 3 emissions ·      How does supply chain engagement work in practice? ·      What are the benefits for suppliers involved? ·      How can carbon accounting software help with scope 3 emissions?   Resources ·      Gravity ·      Carbonology   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – We introduce Jay Ruckelshaus, Co-Founder and Head of Policy and Partnerships at Gravity, who will accompany Mel on a 3-part mini-series diving into carbon accounting software and the value it can bring. In this final part, Mel and Jay dive into scope 3 emissions, the challenges associated with gathering them and how carbon accounting software can help streamline this process. [02:30] Catch-up on the first part – If you missed the first two parts of the series, catch-up with them here: ·      Part 1: From Platform To Proof – What Is The Business Driver For Carbon Accounting And Reporting? ·      Part 2: From Platform To Proof – How Carbon Accounting Software and Verification Combine for Carbon Compliance [03:50] What are scope 3 emissions?: The term ‘scope 3' comes from a document and initiative called the GHG Protocol, which sets out the core methodology by which companies should measure account for their greenhouse gas emissions. It details 3 different scopes, scope 1 is your direct emissions (i.e. fuel for vehicle use ect), Scope 2 is grid emissions associated with purchased electricity or other forms of energy (i.e. energy for offices). Scope 3 is a very broad term and addresses the emissions created by your value / supply chain. This could include things like transportation of resources you require from a third-party.   These emissions can count to upwards of 70% of a companies total emissions, depending on the nature of the business that can even go as high as 90%! [06:50] What are the drivers for those tackling scope 3 emissions? Jay summaries 3 of the main drivers: Biggest emission source: For those looking to truly hit Net Zero, they can't simply ignore their largest emission source. It poses the biggest risk to the company, so it's in their best interest to reduce them where possible. Of course, this isn't easy as it may involve swapping suppliers or working with existing ones to make their practices more sustainable. It's not as straight forward as addressing your scope 1 and 2 emissions. Regulation requirement: Scope 3 is increasingly being included within mandatory regulations, whereas in previous years, it may have been a voluntary part of those requirements. For example, the new regulations coming into effect for California in 2026 will see around 10,000 companies needing to report on their scope 3 emissions. In the EU, regulations such as CSRD also require reporting on these emissions. Though these haven't been made mandatory as of yet, we can see that changing in future. Stakeholder requirement changes: Customers and other stakeholders are asking for more evidence of meaningful sustainability action. Supply chain initiatives now are gearing more towards sustainable procurement, which coincides with the rise of CSR related activities. This drive to evaluate your supply chain is being pushed from all directions. [09:55] Where to start with scope 3 emissions: Likely stating the obvious, but ensure you have addressed your scope 1 and 2 emissions first. When looking to your scope 3 emissions, you'll first need to determine which of the 15 emission categories is going to be important for your business to get a handle on. The nature of your business will determine which of the categories are a priority, so if you're a digital service based business, then the raw materials category likely won't be very appliable to you so you'd only need to provide a very high-level summary of any related emissions. For those categories that are a priority, you should identify how in-depth you would need to get with the data analytics, and create a strategy for each of those categories. If you're struggling to start, there are some industry average statistics out there to help you with those initial calculations. It's key to set up a defined measurement cycle, that will need the ability to get more granular as you progress. This is so you can actively track your reduction efforts. Of course, the level of this will be determined by the resource you and your suppliers have to help facilitate the process. It's definitely worth investing in your supplier relationships to make this process run smoothly year on year. Some business that have say 100+ suppliers will often send out a survey to obtain this data, but the quality of the information returned (if any) can be lacking. So, a more direct approach will likely reap the results you're after. Mel highlights an instance where an organisation had an engagement programme, where they selected 100 of their suppliers and provided training and guidance on understanding and reporting on their emissions. The suppliers could then see how beneficial the process was not just for that organisations, but for their own company as well. It's more than just gathering data, it's about effecting your sphere of influence for meaningful change. [14:15] How does supply chain engagement work in practice? As mentioned, one of the ways many organisations have opted to gather data have been through supplier surveys, however, you need to supplement this with other supplier initiatives to get the best results. Gravity took a more empathetic approach, by looking at this process from the suppliers perspective. They highlighted that this should just be an extractive exercise, the supplier should also be getting something out of this. One such way to do so would be to give them training and / or tools in order to measure their emissions so they can give you the data you need, and also have that data to share with their other customers. You can work with them to identify potential emission reductions and energy saving schemes that could save them money down the line. There are also a number of AI tools that can comb the web and look for any public carbon disclosures or ESG reports that suppliers may have already made. So this saves on the initial outreach and results in less burden for both parties. [17:10] What are the benefits for suppliers involved? By adding further requirements to your supplier relationship, it offers the opportunity to evaluate and develop your supplier engagement strategy. The suppliers can benefit both from your experience with carbon reporting, in addition to gaining access to the same tools you use to manage this. By helping them get a jump start on their carbon disclosures, they can benefits from being ahead of the curve if certain regulations haven't effected them yet. We're seeing these sustainability regulations trickle down to new sectors and smaller companies, so them having the data ready puts them at a great advantage. They can also potentially optimise their own processes and save money from the experience by using their data to identify where further reductions can be made. Those supplier reductions then benefit your organisation as your scope 3 emissions improve, it's a win win situation.  [20:35] How can carbon accounting software help with scope 3 emissions? Using Gravity as an example, they've built a lot of tools that can take raw inventory and gather a lot of data concerning purchasing, logistics ect. This is all collated into one area where it can be analysed and used for calculations. They also have an AI agent that can comb the web for specific information that your suppliers may have publicly disclosed. An AI agent can also reach out directly to suppliers for further information which will be collated within your centralised system, checked for accuracy and put into a format that's ready for reporting. This is all done with a full audit trail for transparency. If you'd like to learn more about Gravity and how their energy and carbon accounting software can help you, check out their website.

One of the biggest hurdles for businesses when embarking on their journey to net zero is the calculation required for carbon verification. Depending on the nature and size of a business, it can be quite the undertaking! Those looking to tackle this challenge have various options available to them, including the use of dedicated carbon accounting software, which we'll explore in our latest mini-series: From Platform to Proof. In the first episode of this series, we introduce Jay Ruckelshaus, Co-Founder and Head of Policy and Partnerships at Gravity, to explore the key drivers behind carbon accounting and reporting and how you can maximise value from going through the process.

In this first episode, they explore the key drivers behind carbon accounting and reporting, and how businesses can maximise the value from the process. [03:10] Who is Jay Ruckelshaus? Jay's involvement in sustainability was almost an inevitability, coming from a family of environmental lawyers. Energy, climate and sustainability were topics that often came up at the dinner table, and so it remained a subject near and dear to his heart. Initially, Jay thought he would remain in the academic world, studying polarisation and exploring how energy intensive industries think about sustainability. He found his enthusiasm spiked when working directly with companies and individuals on these topics. As a result, he broke out of the academic world to join forces with a few technology leaders to develop a solution to help businesses measure and reduce their emissions. [04:45] Who are Gravity?: Jay founded Gravity 4 years ago (2021). It provides a carbon and energy management platform, which assists businesses with compliance to the alphabet soup of sustainability legislation currently in effect, such as CSRD and TCFD. This platform also uses the data collected to help businesses find and invest in projects to help reduce their emissions, which ultimately saves on energy, costs and utilities. Their aim was to make it easier for businesses to report their emissions, by streamlining the collection process, and using the data to pre-qualify potential vendors that would fit the businesses needs when it comes to the reduction phase. Jay initially started with emissions heavy industries such as construction, manufacturing logistics, utilities, metals, mining, energy ect. These are industries where data collection can be very challenging, so it provided a very solid base for their software so that it could tackle these challenges first and provide a way for them to work with various e-commerce, software companies and financial institutions, all within one system. [09:05] Why do businesses measure their carbon footprint? Historically, back in the 70's, 80's and 90's, sustainability was often wrapped up in the wider corporate social responsibility movement. We've seen a lot of change in the last decade, where we used to have strictly voluntary schemes such as CSR, that are now transitioning into a requirement. Whether that be by stakeholders or legislation. We've also seen a greater interest in ESG metrics, which require solid figures to back up your claims. This trend follows from the introduction of mandatory legislation from the European Union's CSRD, which is trickling into California law as around 10,000 companies of a certain size that operate in California must now disclose their carbon emissions. [11:40] Why is the language of business value becoming more important for sustainability professionals? It wasn't too long ago that sustainability professionals were lumped in with groups that managed general social responsibility. We're seeing more dedicated and senior roles in relation to sustainability, such as ‘Chief Sustainability Officer'. These roles now integrate with most every branch of an organisation, from the financial reporting to the general strategy for the business. It becomes a central part of the business. Its role can reap many benefits for businesses that embed it effectively, including cost cutting, energy reduction, creation or use of innovative products, opening doors to new markets and investment opportunities. [14:15] What are the key business drivers for carbon accounting? There are many benefits for carbon accounting, such as: - Saving energy: Energy prices are volatile, and often on the rise. Carbon accounting allows you to have a full view on what you're consuming and where you can reduce or look to more efficient options. Building in sustainability from the top down: With increasing scrutiny from stakeholder and consumers regarding sustainability, it's in leaderships interest to ensure that sustainability is embedded in your business strategy. This alignment sets you up well for the future, In addition to creating an avenue to reap other benefits from meaningful sustainability action. New opportunities: Embarking on your sustainability journey will open many new doors. Whether this be for innovative new technology, new partners and suppliers that better align with your values, or access to new investment opportunities. [18:05] How has GHG emissions reporting helped to drive business value? Businesses that get their emissions verified against ISO 14064 can benefit from improved insurance rates and access to green finance. It's also a necessary step towards energy and cost savings. You can't reduce what you can't measure. Doing this correctly will require time and resources, thankfully we're at a time where there are a lot of tools to help businesses with data collection for reporting purposes. The key is to understand where you currently stand, and where you can make improvements. From there you can look at vendors to assist and what financing is available to help facilitate the required changes.   Jay states an example of where Gravity managed to save a US based aluminum foundry over $400,000 in energy costs from their initial assessment. This was achieved through identifying energy hotspots and finding vendors and initiatives to help reduce the energy use and costs. [21:15] What should businesses be thinking about to maximise business value?: The biggest challenge for carbon accounting is typically gathering the data. There are a lot of things to consider, facility energy usage, travel, home workers ect. To make this easier, you should ideally have a centralised location to report and track your emissions data. You also need to ensure that this is as accurate as possible. In order to make sure this doesn't turn into an annual tick-box exercise, you need to embed proactive processes for monitoring and measuring this data. This way, when you have anomalies in energy usage, you can identify these quickly and put plans in place to address it. [24:25] How can businesses keep up with ever changing sustainability legislation? In recent years, the goal posts for specific sustainability regulation and legislation has changed a lot. This is in part due to convergence that is happening between the frameworks, countries and Governments adopting the best bits out of other requirements to make theirs more robust. So, while a lot of the information they're asking for is largely the same, it can still be very confusing to navigate. Jay advises that businesses focus on getting a core system for reporting, monitoring and measuring energy usage and carbon emissions in place. Depending on the requirements that you need to adhere to, you can slice and dice that data up however it's needed, but setting up a unified approach that's embedded throughout your business to get the data needed is they key. [28:40] The Importance of data quality: Your first attempt at this process will likely be rough and ready. Gathering the basics of what's available such as utility bills and general energy usage. Presenting this estimation can make for a great business case to put in place measures to get more granular data. The more granular the data, the more insightful it can be, offering you more opportunities to save money and implement reduction initiatives. This data will reveal trends, form benchmarks and present opportunities for meaningful action that benefits both the business and the environment, all while satisfying your legal and regulatory requirements. [30:50] How can carbon accounting software help?: Data collection is hard, getting the data where you need it to be can be nightmare, especially when multiple departments are involved. Having a centralised location makes this task a lot easier. Calculating this data into something usable is also tricky, and would likely require a skillset that you won't have readily available. This may also involve knowledge of conversion factors if you have multiple international locations. Having a system that can manage all of this, while using methodologies that are in alignment with best practice standards is crucial. Lastly, technology such as carbon accounting software, can really help with creating a proactive approach to the measurement and reporting process. It can reveal anomalies and trends to be acted on, as it can help source vendors and projects to help with emission reductions.

Det er svært at sige ESG uden at sige AI – altså kunstig intelligens. Vi ser, at AI lynhurtigt kan generere CSRD-rapportering eller dobbelt væsentlighedsanalyse. Er det godt eller skidt? Hvor kan AI bringe merværdi til ESG-arbejdet og hvor er faldgruberne? Lyt med når jeg diskuterer AI i ESG-arbejdet med seniorkonsulent Holger Enevoldsen fra SustainBusiness – konsulenthuset, som jeg har grundlagt sammen med Jens Vogel. Holger Enevoldsen har bidraget til at udvikle SustainBusiness' egen AI-model ”Allasia”. Den bliver brugt som ”greenwashing detektor”, altså til at identificere vildledende markedsføring og er trænet med udgangspunkt i konkrete eksempler fra Forbrugerombudsmandens anbefalinger for miljømarkedsføring. Allasia analyserer virksomheders kommunikation og markerer formuleringer, der kan være vildledende eller svære at dokumentere. Du kan høre om: • Fordele og ulemper ved at benytte kunstig intelligens til ESG-rapportering • Hvornår bringer kunstig intelligens merværdi til ESG-arbejdet • Hvad det præcist er Allasia kan benyttes til og hvordan den fungerer • Hvordan modeller som Allasia kan ”læse” den systematiserede ESG-data og hurtigt danne sig et overblik over indhold Nævnt i episoden: • AGI – Artificial General Intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligence • AI-modellen NotebookLM: https://notebooklm.google/ • Klimaatlas: https://www.dmi.dk/klimaatlas/ • Greenwashing-tjek med Allasia: https://sustainbusiness.dk/greenwashing-tjek/ • Rapporten ESG-kommunikation i møbelbranchen: https://sustainbusiness.dk/rapport-esg-kommunikation/ • Artiklen: ”AI mod greenwas¬hing: Konsulenthus har et bud” i Børsen: https://borsen.dk/nyheder/baeredygtig/ai-mod-greenwashing-konsulenthus-har-et-bud?b_source=baeredygtig&b_medium=row_0&b_campaign=news_4 • Green Claims direktivet: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20240308IPR19001/parliament-wants-to-improve-consumer-protection-against-misleading-claims • Forbrugerombudsmandens anbefalinger til virksomheders miljømarkedsføring: https://forbrugerombudsmanden.dk/longreads/virksomheders-miljoemarkedsfoering-forbrugerombudsmandens-anbefalinger • Læs mere om SustainBusiness' uddannelse af salgsorganisationen https://sustainbusiness.dk/uddannelser/ Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

In dieser inspirierenden Folge spricht Stella Ureta Dombrowsky mit der wunderbaren Lilith van Amerongen über ihre außergewöhnliche Expedition: Lilith will allein von Hamburg bis zum Südpol reisen, um auf die Klimakrise aufmerksam zu machen – und dabei wissenschaftliche Daten sammeln, Spenden für Waldschutz generieren und eine Geschichte erzählen, die berührt.  

Stella Ureta-Dombrowsky takes you on a journey to discover your personal values compass. Because your finances shouldn't just work – they should reflect who you are and what truly matters to you. What if investing could smell like freedom, taste like justice, or sound like the future? This episode dives into exactly that: how to identify your values and bring them to life in your financial decisions. With clear insights, honest questions, and hands-on tips, Stella shows that sustainable investing isn't just a trend – it's a powerful statement. For women. For everyone who wants to align their money with meaning. Takeaways: Your core values have a powerful impact on your financial strategy. Money is neutral – but how we use it is not. Ethical banks matter when it comes to responsible investing. Small steps in investing make a big difference. Values like social justice and independence are key. Promoting women in business is essential. Microfinance can create real social and economic change. Reviewing your current bank is a crucial first step. Diversification is essential for successful investing. Awareness of your values is the first step toward financial empowerment.

Stella Ureta-Dombrowsky nimmt dich mit auf eine Reise zu deinem inneren Werte-Kompass. Denn deine Finanzen sollten nicht nur funktionieren, sondern zu dir passen – zu dem, was dir wirklich wichtig ist. Wie kann Geldanlage nach Freiheit riechen, nach Gerechtigkeit schmecken oder nach Zukunft klingen? Genau darum geht's: Wie du deine Werte erkennst – und wie du sie in deiner Finanzstrategie lebendig machst. Mit klaren Gedanken, ehrlichen Fragen und praktischen Tipps zeigt Stella, wie nachhaltiges Investieren mehr ist als ein Trend – nämlich ein Statement. Für Frauen. Für alle, die ihr Geld mit Sinn einsetzen wollen. Takeaways: Die eigene Wertebasis beeinflusst die Finanzstrategie erheblich. Geld ist neutral, aber unser Umgang damit ist es nicht. Nachhaltige Banken sind wichtig für ethische Geldanlagen. Kleine Schritte in der Geldanlage sind entscheidend. Werte wie soziale Gerechtigkeit und Unabhängigkeit sind zentral. Frauenförderung in Unternehmen ist ein wichtiges Thema. Mikrofinanzierung kann soziale und wirtschaftliche Veränderungen bewirken. Die Überprüfung der eigenen Bank ist ein wichtiger Schritt. Diversifikation ist entscheidend für eine erfolgreiche Geldanlage. Das Bewusstsein für die eigenen Werte ist der erste Schritt zur finanziellen Selbstbestimmung.

Der er sæsonstart i Bæredygtig Business, og i dag gør jeg status over rapporteringsstandarderne både i Europa og i den store verden for at forstå, hvilken indvirkning de bl.a. har haft på investorernes lyst til at investere i de grønne virksomheder. Til at hjælpe mig med det store overblik har jeg Jane Jagd på besøg. Hun er Director, Net Zero Finance i We Mean Business Coalition, som skal få erhvervslivet og politiske aktører til at gå sammen om at drive klimahandling. Vi gør status over rapporteringsstandarderne, kigger på den Europæiske CSRD og den internationale ISSB, og ser på, hvordan markedet vil udvikle sig i forhold til ESG-rapportering, herunder den lidet elskede taksonomi, som Jane Jagd faktisk mener er fantastisk. Endelig taler vi om emnet ”Anti-ESG og hvordan danske virksomheder skal navigere rundt i de Anti-ESG-vinde, der blæser i øjeblikket. Du kan høre om: • ESG rapportering i Europa og i Verden – indvirkning og konsekvenser • CSRD og ISSB – forskelle og fællesnævnere • Sektorstandarder og globale standarder • Hvordan data bliver bedre og bedre og hvad det kommer til at betyde for virksomhederne og deres ESG-rapportering • Hvordan investorer og banker fremover vil have øget fokus på de grønne virksomheder – eller dem der er på vej til at blive grønne(re) • Hvorfor man ikke skal være for hurtig til at fordømme de virksomheder, der ligger under for ”Anti-ESG” Nævnt i episoden: • We Mean Business Coalition: https://www.wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/ • CDP: https://www.cdp.net/en • NFRD - Non-Financial Reporting Directive: https://greenly.earth/en-gb/blog/company-guide/what-is-the-non-financial-reporting-directive-nfrd • Rapporten "Interesting solutions from inside the CSRD climate reports": https://www.wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/blog/interesting-solutions-from-inside-the-csrd-climate-reports/ • IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: https://www.ipcc.ch/ • ISSB: (står for International Sustainability Standards Board og skal måle de ikke-finansielle risici) https://www.ifrs.org/groups/international-sustainability-standards-board/ • IFRS (står for internationale regnskabsstandarder): https://www.ifrs.org/ • TCFD – Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure: https://www.fsb-tcfd.org/ • Uddybning af scope 1, 2 og 3: https://virksomhedsguiden.dk/content/temaer/invester-i-baeredygtighed/ydelser/hvad-er-et-klimaregnskab-og-hvilken-vaerdi-har-det-for-din-virksomhed/f36f342d-9692-497e-8e28-0f7a5778dd5a/ • US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP): https://fasb.org/standards • Sukuk: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sukuk.asp Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

In this episode of Sustainability Bridges, we are joined by special guest Professor Thorsten Sellhorn, Director of the Institute for Accounting, Auditing and Analysis at the Munich School of Management, part of the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich.During the episode, Professor Sellhorn walks us through the findings of his insightful research that analyses the firstsustainability reports that large companies published in line with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). He also details the information and data points available through the Sustainability Reporting Navigator, an AI-driven platform that allows anyone to search through the sustainability reports of over 500 large European companies, of which he is a co-founder. Professor Sellhorn also gives his expert opinion on the future of the EU Sustainable Finance regulatory framework and theEuropean Commission's Omnibus simplification proposals, explaining the impact these proposals will have on the corporate reporting landscape and beyond, and how we can simplify without losing substance. 

In dieser Episode spricht Stella Ureta Dombrowsky mit Finanzcoach und Nachhaltigkeitsberaterin Jennifer Brockerhoff über unser oft ambivalentes Verhältnis zu Geld. Gemeinsam tauchen sie ein in die Welt der Finanzpsychologie und zeigen, wie Projektionen, Emotionen und gesellschaftliche Prägung unsere Finanzentscheidungen beeinflussen – besonders im Kontext nachhaltiger Geldanlage. Es geht um mehr als Rendite: Die beiden reflektieren über Einsamkeit, soziale Verbindungen, die Rolle von Kapital für eine nachhaltige Zukunft und die Frage, wie wir Geld als Mittel zur Lebenssicherung neu denken können. Ein inspirierendes Gespräch über Veränderung, emotionale Blockaden und den Mut zur Transformation – persönlich wie systemisch.  

"Controller sollen doch nur Zahlen liefern" - ein Mythos, der sich hartnäckig hält. Dabei gehören ethische Überlegungen schon immer zum Controlling-Alltag: Wie transparent berichte ich? Welche Kennzahlen wähle ich aus? Wie gestalte ich Anreizsysteme? Die neue Ausgabe 4/2025 der Fachzeitschrift Controlling zeigt, warum diese Fragen heute noch brisanter sind. Von der CSRD, die Controller zu Ethik-Übersetzern macht, über soziale Normen, die ehrlichere Budgets fördern können, bis hin zu Corporate Psychopaths, die klassische Performance-Systeme ausnutzen. Die Kernfrage bleibt: Wie schaffen wir den Spagat zwischen Effizienz und Moral? Darüber spreche ich im Performance Manager Podcast mit Prof. Dr. Martin Hiebl von der JKU Linz, einem der Herausgeber der Zeitschrift Controlling.

Keine Sommerpause im Nachhaltigkeitskosmos! In dieser Episode diskutieren Meike Müller und Alexandra Herget die aktuellen Entwicklungen der EU-Regulierung, u.a. die Arbeitsunterlagen zur Überarbeitung der ESRS der EFRAG und die CSRD Quick-Fix Reform. Ein lautes Zeichen gegen die Deregulierung gab es in einem offenen Brief an das EU Parlament mit dem Wunsch an den geplanten Standards festzuhalten - unterzeichnet von vielen großen Unternehmen. Während sich die Unternehmen hier laut äußern, sieht man ganz andere Signale aus den USA. Denn dort sind signifikant weniger Nachhaltigkeitsberichte veröffentlicht worden und auch die Nachhaltigkeitskommunikation geht zurück (Stichwort „Green Hushing”). Gründe dafür sind u.a. die aktuelle Stimmung der US-Regierung, die sich offen gegen Nachhaltigkeit ausspricht. Es bleibt ein Tauziehen im Nachhaltigkeitsbereich….

Regulatory pressure related to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is growing. While federal ESG rules in the U.S. remain fragmented, states like California are pushing forward with tough climate disclosure laws. Meanwhile, the EU is advancing sweeping directives like CSRD and CS3D, imposing new reporting and due diligence requirements across global supply chains. In this 10-minute podcast, Deb Boehling, a senior lawyer at LB3, and Tony Mangino discuss how procurement teams can reduce ESG compliance risks by building key obligations into vendor contracts, such as adherence to laws, third-party audits, and remediation for non-compliance.  The stakes are high—sustainability is no longer optional—it's a legal, financial, and reputational imperative.

Willkommen zur vierten Folge meiner Sommer-Mini-Serie im ESG-Talk-Podcast – rund um emotionale Frauenthemen mit Finanzbezug. Diese Episode widmet sich der Frage: Was hat Selbstliebe mit Geld zu tun? In dieser Solofolge spreche ich über die emotionale Beziehung von Frauen zu Geld – über Selbstzweifel, alte Glaubenssätze und gesellschaftliche Prägungen, die uns beim Investieren im Weg stehen. Ich zeige dir, warum dein finanzieller Weg nicht im Depot beginnt, sondern in deinem Denken über dich selbst. Es geht um kleine, machbare Schritte, um Routinen, die Sicherheit geben, und um die Kraft von finanzieller Selbstachtung. Denn: Du bist es wert! Takeaways: Finanzielle Selbstbestimmung ist ein Akt der Selbstliebe Emotionale Hürden hindern oft am Investieren – doch sie sind überwindbar Selbstwert und Geldwert sind eng miteinander verbunden Alte Glaubenssätze lassen sich erkennen und neu schreiben Kleine Schritte im Finanzalltag machen einen großen Unterschied Geld ist ein Werkzeug – für Freiheit, Wirkung und Selbstachtung Investieren darf werteorientiert sein – ganz im Sinne von ESG Finanzielle Erfolge feiern stärkt das Selbstvertrauen Jede Frau hat das Recht auf ein gutes Geldleben Du musst nicht alles wissen – du darfst einfach anfangen Kapital 00:00 Einführung in emotionale Frauenthemen und Finanzen 01:48 Selbstliebe und Vermögensaufbau 05:32 Geld und Selbstbild: Emotionale Hürden überwinden 08:40 Glaubenssätze über Geld: Negative und positive Perspektiven 11:02 Praktische Tipps für den Finanzalltag 13:36 Zusammenfassung und Ausblick auf die nächste Episode   Der ESG-Talk-Podcast: Social Media: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/esgtalkpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/esg_talk_podcast/   Podcast - Links: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0NUvvcweDOrPFQFaWTtMEl Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/esg-talk-podcast/id1682453395 Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ESG-Talk-Podcast-Start-2023   Female Finance (Deutsch) - WhatsApp-Gruppe: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KL7yiAlWs092N6Iw4ICmnl   Das Booklet  zum Podcast (gratis Download) Flipbook; 1.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I sat down with Ollie Carpenter, Director of Environmental Risk Analytics at Risilience, to unpack how global businesses are moving from climate ambition to action, through risk-informed decision making.Ollie and his team work with companies like Nestlé, Burberry, and Maersk, helping them build digital twins of their operations and supply chains to stress-test climate and nature-related risks. What I found particularly insightful is how this risk-based lens shifts the sustainability conversation from “nice-to-have” to essential business planning.We covered:The difference between physical and transition risk, and why both matter for supply chain resilienceHow regulation like CSRD and TNFD is raising the bar on climate disclosureThe evolving role of procurement in decarbonisation, supplier engagement, and scope 3 measurementWhy near-term transition plans (to 2030) are more actionable than distant net-zero targetsThe hidden vulnerabilities in agricultural supply chains most companies still overlookAnd how employee pressure is becoming a key driver of sustainability inside firmsIf you're trying to embed sustainability into operational planning, link it to financial outcomes, or simply stay ahead of climate-related disruptions, this one's really worth a listen.

Bienvenue sur la Radio Circulab (ex Activer l'Economie Circulaire) Aujourd'hui, Justine et Brieuc nous invitent à plonger au cœur des paradoxes de la réglementation européenne !Pourquoi des initiatives cruciales comme la CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) sont actuellement "torpillées", malgré leur adoption même en Chine et leur rôle essentiel dans l'approche de pérennité des entreprises ? Comment cette situation pousse les entreprises éclairées à voir l'économie circulaire non plus comme une contrainte, mais comme une stratégie de pérennité ?Quant au Passeport Produit Digital (DPP), levier stratégique énorme pour l'avenir de la réparation, du réemploi et du remanufacturing, ce nouvel outil offre un potentiel incroyable pour les produits neufs et reconditionnés, en fournissant une "fiche d'identité commune" accessible.Nous abordons ensemble tous ces sujets :Comment les entreprises ayant déjà investi dans la CSRD continuent leurs démarches, car un retour en arrière leur coûterait désormais trop cher.Pourquoi le DPP, qui est purement économique et technique, pourrait devenir un outil stratégique puissant pour l'alignement des chaînes de valeur, la relocalisation et la prévention des actions néfastes.Le lien direct entre le DPP et le Product Data Sheet (PCDS), un standard qui vise à rendre l'information sur les produits plus accessible et à soutenir l'économie circulaire.La tension entre la vision purement écologique et l'aspect économique de l'économie circulaire, et comment les standards internationaux comme les normes ISO sur l'économie circulaire peuvent aider à unifier le langage et les objectifs.Les enjeux économiques et environnementaux qui façonnent l'avenir de l'économie circulaire sont très challengés actuellement. Le contexte géopolitique, à la fois "flippant et enthousiasmant", redéfinit la manière dont les entreprises abordent la durabilité.Pour aller plus loin : Baladez-vous sur notre site internet (tout neuf) ; Téléchargez nos outils sur la Circulab Academy ; Inscrivez-vous à notre newsletter ; Envoyez-nous vos retours ou suggestions sur Linkedin : Justine Laurent et Brieuc Saffré.

Send me a messageMost people don't think about carbon emissions when they think about the internet—let alone digital advertising. But here's the kicker: the ad tech ecosystem is responsible for roughly the same emissions as the global aviation sector. Yes, really.In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I spoke with Frank Maguire, SVP of Product Marketing & Sustainability at Equativ (formerly Sharethrough), about the often-overlooked climate impact of digital ads. We broke down how every impression, bid, and page refresh contributes to a complex, energy-intensive infrastructure—and what's actually being done to clean it up.Frank shared how programmatic advertising works, why the auction-based model generates such high emissions, and what's being done to make ad delivery more efficient. We explored GreenPMPs (Private Marketplaces) that strip out high-emission inventory while improving performance, the role of AI in optimising and complicating emissions, and why industry collaboration is key.We also discussed how regulation like the EU's CSRD is pushing companies to measure and act on their digital carbon footprint—and why that matters for brands, platforms, and consumers alike.If you've ever wondered how something as invisible as online ads can have a tangible climate impact—or how business can respond—this episode unpacks it all.Listen now to learn how the ad tech world is confronting its emissions problem, and what it means for sustainability in digital infrastructure.

In 2024, key legal and regulatory shifts transformed the ESG landscape across the U.S., Canada, U.K., and EU. In the U.S., the SEC adopted—and later stopped defending—climate disclosure rules, while the Department of Labor's ESG rule faced litigation and Congress advanced anti-ESG bills. At the same time, the EPA began deploying $27 billion under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, and youth-led climate lawsuits saw major wins. California's climate reporting laws (SB 253, SB 261, AB 1305) faced challenges but remained in effect, and greenwashing litigation expanded to cover broad corporate ESG claims. Internationally, the U.K. introduced mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain rules, the EU implemented the CSRD and CSDDD, and Canada passed a new Modern Slavery Act. Together, these changes mark a global move toward greater corporate transparency and environmental accountability. Join Josh Galperin, professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, in conversation with Lauren Lynam and Morgan Martin as they unpack the year's most significant ESG legal developments across the U.S. and beyond.

För stora bolag är det allt mer livsviktigt att kunna samla, analysera och rapportera sin ESG-data på ett lika digitalt och strukturerat sätt som den finansiella datan. I avsnitt 590 träffar vi Daniel Gadd, medgrundare och vd på SaaS-bolaget Position Green, en nyckelspelare på den framväxande marknaden och med fokus på bolag med mer än 500 anställda. Men med USA:s backlash i kombination med EU:s tveksamheter kring utrullningen av rapporteringsdirektivet CSRD, har branschen drabbats hårt, och Position Green har efter avsnittet spelades in tvingats till vissa nedskärningar. Är det kris på riktigt - eller bara naturliga gropar på vägen mot ett mer datadrivet och transparent näringsliv? Digitala produktpass (DPP) är ett annat viktigt EU-krav som rullar ut under de kommande åren. Vill du grotta mer i detta kan vi rekommendera avsnitt 588 med Karolin Catela från GS1 Sweden och Elin Dahl Sandrén från Filippa K, som berättar om hur de tillsammans jobbar med transparens och spårbarhet i textila värdekedjor inom The Fiber Traceability Initiative.
