Mark your calendars and find our colleagues at COP16 Colombia next week!

Our CEO Adrian de Groot Ruiz recently spoke at the Pioneering Impact: The Future of Business with Impact-Weighted Accounts webinar hosted by Impact Economy Foundation. He highlighted some exciting developments in the realm of impact. “For example, food comes with social and environmental costs - think health impacts and CO2 emissions. There's a significant opportunity in shifting diets, but the question remains: how do we make that change?” This is where the Impact Weighted Accounts Framework (IWAF) plays a vital role. Adrian shared how we’re partnering with Cornell University and New York State on a groundbreaking pilot to incorporate environmental and social costs into public procurement systems. “This is something you did not see five or ten years ago. And to succeed, having a pre-competitive standard like IWAF is critical.” Missed the webinar? You can watch it here: https://lnkd.in/d-aZmyiC #impact #sustainability #webinar #IWAF

We're excited to be supporting the True Cost Accounting (TCA) Dialogue Series & Summit: Scaling Implementation. This initiative aims to scale TCA implementation by 2030 - helping business leaders, researchers, civil society, philanthropy, governments and individuals to mainstream TCA, ultimately to achieve greater collective impact. To truly reform our food systems we need to account for the multi-dimensional impacts that our food policy and business decisions have on our health, environment, economy, and society. True Cost Accounting can serve as a guide to design a more sustainable, equitable and healthy future for all.

What a turnout! Our Responsible Value Chain Expert Leanne Heuberger was joined on stage by Henk Hofstede from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. at the Sustainable Retail Event, a conference aimed at retailers to step up their sustainability efforts. What began as a small gathering for around 30 people turned out to be a packed venue with nearly 300 attendees 🙌 A few key takeaways: 🔹 The focus on value chain transparency and sustainability data is more crucial than ever. Impact data supports institutions towards understanding, reporting, and managing the societal impacts of their value chains, own operations, and investment portfolios, making it easy to identify risks and opportunities. 🔹 One of the biggest challenges for retailers is translating sustainability strategies into meaningful, actionable steps. Your next step could be education, data collection, or metrics tracking. 🔹 We introduced retailers in the audience to the critical links between biodiversity loss and the products they sell. Everyday products such as smartphones, sofas, or sneakers have many positive and negative impacts that retailers must be aware of. We're proud to have simplified the complexity of biodiversity, demonstrating how vital nature and ecosystem services are for businesses. Are you a retailer ready to take action?
