🇨🇦 Canada Takes a Stand Against Greenwashing: Implications for Australian Businesses Government of Canada has recently enacted groundbreaking regulations aimed at combating corporate greenwashing, requiring companies to substantiate their environmental claims with clear, verifiable evidence. This move is a major step towards enhancing transparency and accountability in corporate sustainability efforts. Key Takeaways: - Legislation Overview: Businesses must now provide concrete evidence for their environmental claims, curbing misleading practices and fostering trust. - Impact on Companies: This shift will influence marketing and operational strategies, emphasising the need for accurate and data-supported sustainability disclosures. Implications for Australia: As global attention on corporate sustainability intensifies, similar regulations could emerge in Australia. Aligning with the WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development focus on climate action and equity, Australian businesses can gain strategic advantages by proactively adapting to these changes. Strategic Recommendations: - Develop Robust Verification Processes: Implement systems to verify sustainability claims, ensuring compliance and enhancing credibility. - Enhance Sustainability Reporting: Regular audits and updates to sustainability reports are crucial for accuracy and alignment with global standards. - Engage Stakeholders: Open and transparent communication about sustainability initiatives can strengthen trust and stakeholder relationships. Aligning with SDGs: - Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Encourage sustainable practices and integrate sustainability information into corporate reporting. - Goal 13: Climate Action – Integrate climate change measures into national policies and business strategies. 🔗 Read more about the new regulations here: https://lnkd.in/eaahcq5F How can Australian businesses prepare for potential similar regulations?

The merger of the two Norwegian ship managment companies, OSM and Thome creating OSM Thome , sees a huge potential for efficiency gains. Lower prices from suppliers and shorter port calls are just two of them. “The merger has allowed us to build a company for the future with safe, efficient and sustainable ship management in our DNA, which will add value to our customers and employees. By integrating resources, we will provide world-class ship management services to our customers and become a more powerful platform,” says Managing Director at OSM Thome in Singapore, Simona Toma. It also resulted in an element of excess resources in work streams, something that was addressed. But Toma declines to specify how many staff members have had to leave due to the merger. Now, it is about taking advantage of the increased size and volume of the company with the aim to bag better deals with the suppliers going forward. #shipping #freight #oceanfreight #management #business #shipmanagement
