Listen to the full episode here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eSiCnR_A #DEI #BusinessLeadership #TransformativeLeadership #SustainableBusiness #JustCapital #WBCSD
In this WBCSD podcast episode, I talk with Martin Whittaker, CEO of JUST Capital, about how businesses today face substantial pressures from investors to disclose business performance that is increasingly tied to environmental and social issues — and we discuss the importance of putting the right governance in place to navigate these risks and mitigate them. We dive into the evolution of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues, what it means for business in terms of human capital and a company’s broader role in society, and how this work is shifting with a recognition that the employees are the important beneficiaries. Finally, we highlight the need for more effective collaboration, and how to develop actionable approaches for business leaders. Take a listen! https://lnkd.in/eDvgr7cg WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development #DEI #BusinessLeadership #TransformativeLeadership #JustCapital

Last week, WBCSD held an interactive webinar exploring mechanisms for #investing in land-based solutions to reduce and remove #emissions in the #ValueChain and beyond. 📽 Missed it? Watch the webinar now: https://lnkd.in/eV5nxi7j Our panellists Ryan Jones @ Indigo, Courtland Kelly @ Corteva Agriscience, David D'Hollander @ Proforest and Abby Snyder @ Verra discussed: ➡ How corporates evaluate these different mechanisms as part of an overall climate strategy ➡ Navigating potential trade-offs, risks, unintended consequences and synergies of the different mechanisms ➡ Key considerations for corporate claims, accounting, strategy, target-setting and reporting Here were just some of the key takeaways: 💡 Each mechanism has different #financing models, accounting rules and #reporting obligations. They are interconnected but may not be mutually exclusive. 💡 The most impactful mechanism depends on the objectives and activity type. Companies and stakeholders need to determine the best one for their situation. 💡 We need all these mechanisms to work at scale for farmers and producer communities. Stay tuned for more on financing mechanisms for land-based action - including an event at #NYCW. Marine Lefebvre Kate Newbury-Hyde Tom Williams
