🌳 Breaking news - The European Commission announced a 12-month "phasing-in" period, delaying implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation which was set to come into force at the end of this year. This is in response to push back from several stakeholders and producing countries, while many companies and sector associations have called for the regulation to go ahead as planned. https://lnkd.in/dywTvCTx
Commission strengthens support for EU Deforestation Regulation implementation and proposes extra 12 months of phasing-in time, responding to calls by global partners

Talking climate in a board meeting – not always easy. But the rewards are great. It’s time to act…and there are many reasons why. It’s not just a moral argument – it’s a business one too. In today’s Financial Times ad created by Mother, we are urging non-executive directors and chairs to land sustainability at the core of the business agenda. Chapter Zero Fellow, Jock Lennox, says it’s for boards to help put it there, even at the risk of being challenged. He says that when investors began valuing companies according to their sustainability performance, the goal posts moved. They saw poor sustainability performance as an indication of risk that could have a negative effect on business resilience. But companies that could explain their impacts on climate, nature and people, were in a more robust position. If they could manage and communicate their impacts, they could be valued at a premium. And they could differentiate themselves from the competition. It takes leadership, innovation and commitment. And it means companies must empower teams throughout the business to embed sustainability thinking into the DNA of an organisation.
