📣 NEW >> Discover a new report from BCG x Quantis: Adaptation & resilience of companies in the face of climate change: https://bit.ly/4j1szcp 📉 As extreme weather events become more frequent and intense, businesses face increasing risks to their assets, supply chains and long-term viability. With some companies facing potential EBITDA losses of up to 25%, the stakes are too high to ignore. While many companies have made strides in reducing emissions, far fewer have prioritized climate adaptation — a critical factor in ensuring future resilience. ➡️ Follow the link above and discover insights from 25+ CEOs, including: ✅ How leading companies are approaching adaptation as a strategic priority and opportunity. ✅ How to integrate adaptation into your company's operational model — with concrete examples from other businesses. ✅ The levers of action to accelerate adaptation across value chains and industries. 🌎 Adaptation isn't just about risk management — it's a business imperative for competitiveness, innovation and long-term resilience in an increasingly volatile world.

💫 We recently wrapped an inspiring week at Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, where leaders from across the global beauty and personal care industry came together to shape the future of the sector. Quantis was proud to be part of the dialogue, with Emmanuel Hembert — our Global Lead for Cosmetics, Personal Care and Pharma — joining an insightful session hosted by the Value of Beauty Alliance. 💡 At the heart of the discussion: the Alliance’s latest report, spotlighting the wide-ranging socioeconomic impact of the EU beauty and personal care value chain. From farm fields to retail shelves, it’s a strong reminder of the industry’s powerful role across society. #cosmoprof2025 #cosmoprofworldwide #cosmotalks

"Your problems are my problems, let's solve them together." Someone wrote that on our expectations board last night and we couldn't have said it better. What if sustainability professionals in #Berlin had a space to really connect, not just swap business cards, but share frustrations, exchange insights, find collaborators and co-create the solutions? That's the spirit behind the Berlin Sustainability Insiders Network, a new initiative co-led by Quantis and vbc. We're building this because we know: 📌 The sustainability landscape is currently particularly challenging. 📌 Corporates are expecting clear, strategic advice. 📌 And let's face it: sometimes it helps just to be in a room with people who *get it.* This is a space for real talk, fresh perspectives and building bridges between professionals who care as much as you do. Think less "panel discussion," more constructive exchange. Less competition, more collaboration. Huge thanks to Kirsten Siegler and her vbc Agency team for jumping into this with us and making the first event such a success!

📣 New Boston Consulting Group (BCG) + Quantis publication >> A Value-Driven Approach to Nature-Based Infrastructure 🛣️ Infrastructure accounts for over 25% of human-generated biodiversity loss — but the broad scope of this sector presents significant potential to restore ecosystems and build climate resilience. For infrastructure players, addressing ecosystem degradation can unlock business opportunities, foster innovation and enhance their competitive advantage. Dig into the article for more industry insights, plus takeaways from our global survey of over 45 infrastructure companies. Key findings include: 1️⃣ 80% are focused on reducing negative impacts, but only 30% are currently implementing nature-based solutions (NbS). 2️⃣ NbS deliver strong economic returns — over double the ROI compared to traditional "gray" infrastructure. 3️⃣ 90% agree that nature restoration requires collaboration across sectors. Governments, infrastructure owners, engineering and construction firms and real estate developers have unique opportunities to collaborate on NbS—like wetlands, urban forests and green corridors. 🔗 Read the full article to learn more: https://bit.ly/4l0Eb12 Congrats to Quantis' Tanya Strevens, Guillermo GÜEMES FERRER and Simon Gillet for their contribution to this publication!

🌲 International day of forests >> Did you know that trees drive economies? A significant portion of the global GDP depends on nature and its services, yet deforestation disrupts supply chains, raises costs and accelerates climate change. Businesses that keep nature in mind gain a competitive edge.

📰 In the press >> Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws are reshaping the landscape for sustainable packaging. As regulations tighten, how will companies adapt to stay compliant and competitive? Quantis' Emily Wynne breaks it down in her latest piece for Environment+Energy Leader. Discover her insights for guidance on how businesses can navigate EPR and build a sustainable packaging strategy.

🏦 While banks may have relatively limited direct impacts on nature, their influence through financing can be substantial. As enablers of the real economy, banks can steer financial flows toward nature-positive outcomes, helping clients transition to more sustainable practices and sharing in nature-related risks. 🌱 Regulators, civil society and markets are increasingly pushing for action — urging banks to integrate nature considerations into their portfolios. ➡️ But the challenge is real: Assessing nature-related impacts and risks is complex and data is often incomplete — and difficult to capture in one holistic metric. Despite these hurdles, the momentum is growing. Banks that proactively tackle these challenges will not only align with evolving regulations but also unlock new opportunities for sustainable growth. 🔗 Discover our pilot with leading European financial services group Société Générale, which provides a first-of-its-kind methodology for evaluating nature impacts across the power utilities sector: https://lnkd.in/dGgVFxRj
