💡 3 takeaways from today's UN Global Compact Network UK 2024 Annual Summit Thank you to Neighbourly Digital Lead Sam Wolf for sharing your insights, including the word of the day: Greenhushing The concept that businesses who are making sustainability progress are keeping quiet as they face backlash from a) those who believe the business is not doing enough and b) from capitalists who are interested in growth, and think the green agenda is a distraction. #UNGCUKSummit24 #FromAmbitionToAction

#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
