"Knowledge is Power," a phrase attributed to Francis Bacon, is still relevant today. Although our methods of gaining knowledge have changed and the amount of available information has increased significantly, our ability to understand and use this information remains essential. This capacity for knowledge acquisition and application is particularly crucial in the context of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM). #GISTM #TailingsManagement

What is the business case for integrating sustainability across key functions? The recent report "Sustainability Value Triangle" offers practical guidance for finance, IT, and sustainability leaders on how to enhance collaboration, improve integration, and create greater business value. Here are some key findings from the report: - 44% of respondents believe that sustainability reporting promotes meaningful collaboration that generates value. - Fewer than one-third of IT and finance leaders feel there is a high level of competence and understanding of sustainability within their functions. - While only 6% of leaders think that AI has already provided significant value for sustainability, 50% expect it to do so in the next two years. To conduct this research, the Sustainability Value Creation Partnership was established. The partnership includes Accounting for Sustainability (A4S), SustainableIT.org, Salesforce, GlobeScan, and ERM Sustainability Institute.

The new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) does more than update the existing directive. It will revolutionize the way packaging in the EU is designed, manufactured, marketed, used, and disposed of. However, it’s not just about the materials. Companies will need to consider their entire supply chain, as the EU is strongly promoting circularity. This means rethinking processes to ensure sustainability at every stage, from production to end-of-life management. The PPWR will affect anyone doing business in the EU, regardless of where the company is headquartered and will harmonize practices across all EU Member States.
