Per this article:

• March 2026 was the hottest March on record for the United States
• It was 9.35F hotter than average; the largest gap in history
• Nearly 20,000 temperature records were broken
• 2,000 new monthly temperature records were set
• January – March 2026 was the driest for the contiguous United States
• This summer, a strong El Niños could send global temperatures to new records

If we continue this path, it will not be a fun ride for us; and certainly not for our children.

For 10 years, NYU Stern School of Business produced wonderfully compelling studies, showing how environmental sustainability delivers profits.  Their studies also showed that companies that have not become certified sustainable will likely not survive.

Per this article, they have decided that if you have not learned by now, odds are, you never will.

They have changed their curriculum to serve those who listened, understood the financial benefit, and incorporated sustainability into their companies.  Going forward, they will focus on the practice of sustainability in an organization – Platform, Process and People.

If you missed that day of class, what’s the plan?

There have been hundreds of studies on the benefit of a company being able to prove it is environmentally sustainable.

As this article states, a “study of the studies” that combined the results of 640 studies over 10 years produced a treasure trove of data, highlighted by the following.

Companies that can prove their environmental sustainability (ie, are certified/verified) enjoy:

•  36% increase in financial valuation
• 21% increase in profitability
• 20% increase in sales across both B2B and B2C markets
• 6% increase in share price
• 21% increase in productivity
• 57% reduction in employee turnover

This leads to some questions:

• Is it your job to improve the performance of your company?
• Is there anything you are currently doing in your company that is generating the above?
• Would you mind doing something good?

If it is your job to improve your company, and you would not mind doing something good, and all your efforts to-date have not generated results like the above, maybe it is time to consider becoming environmentally certified sustainable.

If you decide to consider it, read this on what you want in a sustainability program, watch this master class, and contact us.

Regardless of whether your company is public or private, it has a governance process.  That process may rest only with you, or it may be in the hands of outside directors.  Either way, the clock is ticking on what needs to happen by the end this summer.

If you are in the EU, the CSDDD was pushed back a year.  But remember, this is for reporting; which means, there needs to be something to report. If you have supply chains, which most companies do, you need to have a plan in place by the time you start your 2027 budget planning this fall.

In the United States, August 10, 2026 is when California SB 253 kicks in.

Canada already has its sustainability programs in place and is buildings its reporting program.

So, here is what you need to do over the next few months:

• Determine if your ESG disclosure posture has been reviewed by legal, finance and operations against compliance timelines. In other words, get everyone in a room and decide how much time you need to get your disclosure plan done.
• Determine if your energy procurement position reflects where the world currently sits regarding fossil fuel and its alternatives.
• Determine if your down-chain vendor governance structure has the visibility and documentation to satisfy your up-chain clients and ensure contracts are modified to accommodate same.

In short, get an environmental sustainability execution plan operational.

The average tenure of a CEO is 5-7 years.

Odds are, if you were hired as a CEO in the last few years, you will soon be looking for your next assignment.

Based on the findings of +600 studies, companies that can prove their sustainability commitment enjoy:

• 36% increase in financial valuation
• 21% increase in profitability
• 20% increase in sales across both B2B and B2C markets
• 6% increase in share price
• 21% increase in productivity
• 57% reduction in employee turnover

Several years ago, the world’s largest asset manager decided it would not hire CEOs if they could not show proof of environmental sustainability leadership.  In effect, from a performance standpoint, this singular commitment separated the cream of the crop from the rest.

Many PEGs, VCs, family offices and corporate owners agree.  Why would they hire a CEO that has a resume that shows s/he manages AGAINST the above.  It begs the question – “For a CEO that has not led her/his company to environmental sustainability certification/verification, what do you believe your financial objectives are?”

When you are looking for your next assignment, what will your resume say?

This article gives the following 10 reasons why you should steer your small company to lead, not follow, when it comes to sustainability:

• If you are part of a supply chain – As we have said, if you are part of a supply chain, you are part of your client’s Scope 3. You can retain that client and win new clients if you become certified sustainable.
• Government work – Many governments are already using sustainability as a gating item in the selection of vendors. You can win business if you are certified sustainable.
• Efficiency – You cannot become certified under our program without our helping you lower your energy usage and cost.
• Lower cost of money – Debt and equity providers are rewarding certified sustainable companies with lower cost of money on both the debt and equity side.
• Competitive advantage – The #1 thing on the minds of consumers is the environment and they are rewarding certified sustainable companies with their purchases. 7 out of 10 consumers will move their loyalty if they find a certified sustainable alternative.
• Impact investment – a certified sustainable company can become an Impact Company, improving its attractiveness to charity donors and impact investors.
• Hiring and retaining staff – You can hire for less and retain staff longer if you are a certified sustainable company.
• Marketing and PR – Due to what consumers want to hear, your ad spend will be seen, remembered and responded to, materially better if you include being a certified sustainable company.
• Leading the way – Showing that you are a leader, not a follower, differentiates you from the pack, on the #1 issue.
• The best you can be – Being environmentally certified sustainable shows you are at the top of your game and separates you from your peers.

Your choice – you can lead or follow.  But….if you choose to lead, besides doing the right thing, certified sustainable companies are growing up to 20x faster than their non-certified peers.  That’s not a bad side benefit.

If you don’t mind being seen as a leader that is helping the environment, and also want to grow your business, read this on what you want in a sustainability program, watch this master class, and contact us.

As we have stated in the past, and as this article discusses, larger companies need their vendors to be able to prove their environmental sustainability.  This is due to:

• Vendors are part of the client’s Carbon Emission Scope 3

• Any organization that already has a sustainability program (which +97% of large companies do) is mandated by its Scope 3 obligations to use vendors that can prove they are sustainable and have a carbon emissions program

• Any organization that has made a Net Zero claim is required by its Scope 3 obligations to use vendors that can prove they are sustainable and have a carbon emissions program

• Any organization that operates within a government that has carbon emission reporting requirements are required by their Scope 3 reporting obligations to use vendors that can prove they are sustainable and have a carbon emissions program

Many of you have received Scope 3 letters from your clients.  The rest of you, who are selling B2B, will receive a Scope 3 letter.  This is the initial notification from your client that you will need to ‘get on board’ with sustainability and emissions reporting, if you wish to retain their business.

For those of you saying, “We have not heard anything about this.  We don’t think it is real,” now that governments are mandating climate reporting, the process has begun. 

This can be viewed as a curse or as an opportunity.  For those of you who see it as a curse, you will wait until you are forced to comply.  At that point, the cost of becoming certified and the cost of protecting or recovering market share will be high.

For those who see this as an opportunity, you realize your prospects and clients MUST have vendors that can prove their sustainability commitment…..and they are out of time.  They are desperate to find vendors that are certified sustainable.  All you need to do is become certified and market that certification documentation to your prospects and clients.
