🌍 Reflections from the UN Global Compact UK Summit 2024 🌍 Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the UN Global Compact Network UK Annual Summit 2024, where leaders from across sectors came together to tackle some of the biggest global challenges. Here are my key takeaways: ⌛ SDGs: The Time to Act is NOW The stats are sobering—only 17% of the SDGs are on track, and there’s a staggering $4 trillion investment gap. What really stood out to me was the urgency to mobilise purpose-driven finance, not just for short-term gains but for a more sustainable and equitable future. We need to elevate the 'S' in ESG to ensure that our impact extends beyond the environment, addressing social inequality and human rights. ⛓ Supply Chains: A Force for Good From Unilever’s pivot to "Partners with Purpose" to John Lewis being held accountable by their customers, it’s clear that reimagining supply chains is key to building resilience. The integration of women’s economic empowerment, deforestation-free commitments, and supplier diversity are essential steps toward an inclusive, fairer global economy. It’s inspiring to see companies not just talking about these issues, but taking real action. 🌍 Data Transparency & Greenwashing: A Fine Line As sustainability reporting becomes increasingly mandatory, companies need to ensure that their efforts aren’t just ticking compliance boxes. Transparency is critical, but it must lead to tangible action. The conversation around greenwashing—particularly the fine line between ‘doing enough’ and being dismissed as ‘woke’—was fascinating. With new laws on the horizon, accountability is about to take centre stage. ✨ Attending this Summit has reinforced the belief that while the challenges are enormous, so is our collective capacity for innovation, collaboration, and real change. It’s time to act with courage, conviction, and purpose. What are your thoughts on the evolving role of businesses in tackling the SDGs? Let’s keep the conversation going! 🌱 #Sustainability #UNGlobalCompact #SupplyChains #ESG #SDGs #ClimateAdaptation #Greenwashing

For instance, we have... ...increased the total share of green electricity to 71.7 percent (E), ...founded the non-profit organization Axel Springer Freedom Foundation (S), ...and introduced a Supplier Code of Conduct (G). Of course, these actions are just a small portion of our overall progress.

ESG reports have a long history. Here are my thoughts on our recently published ESG report and how they might relate to other companies: 1) 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠: because of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) transparency around ESG is undergoing a radical transformation. For this FY2023 report this is mainly reflected in an updated materiality analysis and an updated structure. For FY2024 and FY2025 the changes will go much deeper. 2) 𝐓𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬: as of this year, we are still trying to appeal to a wide range of audiences with our ESG report, both to experts and to non-experts. With CSRD this won't make sense any more. Stay tuned! 3) 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: We have been publishing ESG/sustainability reports for several years. It was interesting to see that this year's report created much more interest of internal stakeholders than in past years. Especially Finance functions are more involved. Thanks to Luisa McLachlan and Claudia Fröhlich for the incredible work in putting this great report together!

Today, the second comprehensive Report on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), highlighting Axel Springer's achievements and initiatives over the past year, has been published. I've been involved in a few of these initiatives, yet seeing them all come together in our comprehensive report fills me with immense pride and underscores the significant impact of our collective efforts. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: - Publishing a climate-related opportunities and risks statement in July 2023. - Releasing our first Group-wide energy guideline in October 2023. - Introducing a Supplier Code of Conduct in line with the German Act on Corporate Due Diligence in Supply Chains. - Integrating D&I expectations into performance assessments and remuneration processes for top managers. - Celebrating our employees' contributions with various events, including the first Axel Springer Women Con and the inaugural Award for Change. - Expanding advanced training opportunities, with a focus on artificial intelligence, through the Axel Springer Academy of Journalism & Technology This last part makes me especially proud of what we at the Upskilling Team at Axel Springer Academy of Journalism & Technology have achieved in 2023. Our expanded training programs are equipping our colleagues for the future, reflecting our commitment to a sustainable and inclusive company. Thank you to everyone who supports us on this journey. Together, we're building a sustainable and future-proof future.
