➡️ What are the key actions Sustainability Teams need to take to drive climate and nature action? ⬅️ On Monday I posted about the big challenges faced by Sustainability Teams. These were collected at a Winmark event last week. Thank you John Jeffcock for the invitation and Nina Buttle for co chairing. I shared my top 10 tips for delivering meaningful climate and nature action in business. Here they are: 1.    The business and especially senior teams need to ‘get it’ – they need to be climate literate and have ambition and courage. Ideally every leader in your business will be a climate leader 2.     Purpose and Impact is everything. Achieving  buy in from a company that is primarily profit not purpose driven is really difficult, if not impossible 3.    Antonio Guterres says to solve the climate crisis we need to do “everything everywhere all at once” - but companies must focus on where they have the biggest impact and drive urgent action there 4.    Embed sustainability targets/milestones into incentive schemes - you get what you measure and reward 5.    Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) need to be involved in strategy, capital allocation and shareholder discussions 6.    CSOs need to have a seat at the table 7.    Cross functional governance and involvement is critically important. Finance, supply chain, procurement, R&D, product development are all critical functions to have on side 8.    There needs to be adequate resource for all the reporting to avoid fulfilling this prophecy made by one CSO: “the earth will burn down while we are filling out ESG surveys.” 9.    We need cross sector and supply chain collaboration. So much of what has to be delivered demands a systemic or sector response 10. Lobby and advocate for the right regulatory level playing field – don’t use your or your trade association’s influence to delay or dilute regulation What have I missed? #climatecrisis #naturecrisis #sustainability #climateleadership #climateactionnow #sustainablitychallenges The photo is from Pexels.com - a great free resource for climate change imagery, the picture courtesy of Alena Koval
