Another achievement and many others are yet to come.... :) CSR is when a company operates in an ethical and sustainable way dealing with its environmental and social impacts. This means a careful consideration of human rights, the community, environment, and society in which it operates.

This #WorldEnvironmentDay we are sharing our commitment to creating a fair and green future in which people, places and nature thrive. Our strategy is based on the following commitments: • Working where there is most need and we can have most impact • Listening to local voices and empower people. • Embedding equity and inclusion in everything we do • Learning from local practice to promote wider change • Being collaborative and innovative • Acting as environmental exemplars Take a look at our strategy in full here: https://lnkd.in/evyEJT-z #Strategy #Environment

Caring for the human rights of future generations signifies caring for the sustainability not only for tomorrow but also for today by acting to create the conditions necessary for systems change, which is evolving overarching economic, political, and social systems into sustainable forms, centered around values .

As we kick off Green Week, it’s a good time to reflect on the interconnectedness between sustainability and social justice. Climate change and environmental degradation don’t impact everyone equally, and it's often those already facing systemic inequalities that bear the brunt of these environmental challenges. Communities of colour, economically disadvantaged individuals, and marginalized groups frequently experience the worst consequences of climate change. Whether it’s poor air quality in urban areas, limited access to green spaces, or disproportionate exposure to pollution, the reality is stark: the most vulnerable are often the least responsible for the environmental crises we face. Sustainability isn’t just about reducing carbon emissions or conserving natural resources. It’s about creating a more equitable world where everyone, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status, has access to clean air, water, food, and safe living environments. This concept, known as environmental justice, pushes us to see sustainability as part of a broader mission for equality. Minority groups often have less access to decision-making spaces where environmental policies are shaped, meaning their voices are missing from the solutions that could benefit them the most. By actively involving diverse communities in sustainability efforts, we can create more inclusive policies that reflect the needs of everyone, not just the privileged few. As we mark Green Week, it’s essential to recognize that sustainability is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Inclusivity must be at the heart of the conversation. Whether through grassroots movements, community projects, or policy advocacy, we need to ensure that the voices of minority and marginalized communities are heard loud and clear. By integrating environmental justice into our sustainability work, we can build a future that is both sustainable and just. So, as we celebrate Green Week, let’s remember that sustainability is not just an environmental issue—it’s a human rights issue. #GreenWeek #Sustainability #EnvironmentalJustice #SocialJustice #Inclusion #Diversity #ClimateAction #MinorityRights #Equality Grant Sutherland Sarah Shea

Celebrating Young Environmental Champions 🏅🌿 Recognizing and celebrating the achievements of young environmental champions can inspire others to take action. Highlighting their stories not only acknowledges their hard work but also demonstrates that young people can make a significant impact on environmental issues. These champions serve as role models, showing their peers that it is possible to create meaningful change. Sharing these success stories through various media channels can amplify their reach and impact. Awards, public recognition, and media coverage can motivate more young people to get involved in environmental activism. By celebrating these champions, we can build a culture of appreciation and support for youth-led environmental efforts. #EnvironmentalChampions #YouthLeaders #ClimateHeroes

🟩🟥🟪 Show you colours! 🟨🟦🟧 Today is SDG Flagday. What is your favourite colour? Very tough decision. If you have seen some of my earlier posts you might know that I strongly lean towards 13 - green (of course), and 5 - red. But I would also add 11 - yellow and 12 - beige. As a Basel-citizen these seem very important in my daily life. I thought a lot about, how to celebrate flag day. Should I find a way to contribute to the goals in any way, no matter how small? This should be the standard to strive for every day. Should I gather tips for everyone to do their part? Many of such collections exist. I decided to treat myself to a bit of education and challenge you to do the same. Find some resources or online course to read up on the SDGs and take a little of your time today or over the next days. To get you started, I added some links in the comments - please feel free to add to that. I think I want to take a closer look at the KPIs behind the goals. But I will see, where my research takes me. What are your plans for this year‘s flag day? #togetherforthesdgs #sustainabilityeducation #gsd #staycurious UN Global Compact Network Switzerland & Liechtenstein
