Double materiality, I’m looking at you 👀 📌 working with partners and peers to learn from and gee each other on, eg 🌟Net Zero Lawyers Alliance🌟 📌 putting in the work internally to better be able to serve our clients in their own sustainability journeys - finding new ways of working together cross-group, new delivery models, new legal ground to master. Being ‘chief horizon scanners’ takes active work to deliver on 🌅 In short, our sustainability work at Mannheimer Swartling has many inputs, outputs, wins and challenges and this report ⬇️ gives a flavour of 2023 (in Swedish 🇸🇪).

The Green deal is here to stay. And we need International Action, Intentional Implementation, Investments and Industrial Policy to deliver on our impact ambitions. That was a very clear message during the CSR Europe European Sustainable Industry Summit 2024 in Brussels! I participated in the high-level plenary session on Leveraging the EU Sustainability Framework for Corporate Impact, in which we discussed the vital role of #regulation to drive sustainability forward, in a way that prioritizes meaningful impact for people and the environment. Co-creation with producing countries and the small scale producers themselves is key. Companies should also collaborate with each other, finding pre-competitive synergies to address the problems they share. Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives (MSIs) cross-industry and including civil society play an important role to leverage knowledge and data sharing, finding solutions together. Thank you to my fellow session participants for the thought-provoking and inspiring conversation! Amaryllis Verhoeven Dr Hakan Lucius Francesco Tramontin Wouter Vermeulen Lorena Sorrentino One thing is certain; there’s enough work for us all still to do to ensure sustainable and inclusive #impact. But together, we can get there! Read more about the session and the summit here: https://lnkd.in/evGSuk4y  #CSR #ResponsibleBusiness #CSDDD #EU #EUSISummit

#LeadershipSpotlightSeries 🔦 Virpi Stucki is Chief Fair Production, Sustainability Standards and Trade Division at UNIDO and Member of the Board of Advisors 2024 -2026 of the UN Global Compact Network Austria. In line with the United Nations Global Compact focus topic “SDGs” we asked Virpi Stucki: „Why should companies engage with the SDGs?"   „Although there is a lot of evidence that SDGs makes business sense, the progress toward reaching the targets is not yet at the required level. More evidence-based advocacy is still needed on the return on investment that balances the people, planet and prosperity." We are looking forward to working together!🤝 #UnitingBusiness #SustainableDevelopmentGoals
