Per this article, if July has felt like the warmest month, in say, the past 120,000 years, to you, there is a reason – it was. 

Scientists say this is the hottest temperatures in human history.

But, like they say in sports, records are made to be broken.  This one might not last a month.

If you believe this is someone else’s problem to solve, you might not like the outcome.

What if your business could be part of the solution and be rewarded by consumers for doing so?

This master class discusses that point.

Think about all those companies that have publically stated that they will become net zero by a certain date.

None of them can do that without their vendors having a verified/certified sustainability and carbon program.

As we have repeatedly stated and as this article discusses, supply chains will determine if companies meet their net zero targets.

Now think about the money your company is spending trying to win new clients – In your promotions, what point of difference are you using to differentiate your company from your peers?  Is it really a point of difference?  Is it really something your prospects need?

For them to become net zero, they need to find vendors that are verified/certified sustainable with carbon emission programs.

We all know extreme heat drains your energy and efficiency. 

This article discusses how extreme heat could cost the U.S. $100 billion in lost productivity and, if not addressed, could sap one-sixth of global economic activity ($14 trillion) by 2100. 

9 out of 10 consumers want to know that your business is doing something about this and they are rewarding certified sustainable companies with their purchases…causing certified sustainable companies to be growing up to 20x faster than their non-certified competitive peers.

This article, titled “The Small Business Blind Spot in Supply Chains” talks about a topic we have been posting on for a while –

• Over 70% of a company’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) are via its supply chain
• Climate change is causing companies to set goals to reduce their GHG
• 90% of these companies then force their suppliers to take action on sustainability
• The majority of their SME suppliers are not prepared for this

The article does not suggest the client company give its SMEs a pass.  It says the client company should start the process with its supply chain NOW, so SMEs can decide if they wish to remain a vendor, and if so, how they are going to achieve their sustainability targets.

If you are a SME supply chain vendor and want to proactively get ahead of this in order to take market share, watch this master class, then contact us.

We are seeing new heat records around the world every week.  This past week, in Southern Iran, the heat index (ie, how it feels) registered 156F.  Our bodies cannot withstand north of 160F, so we are nearing the point of science fiction movies where we cannot go outside.

As this article states, it is only going to get worse.

We caused it; we can fix it.

Consumers want to know what your business is doing about it; and 7 out of 10 of them will move their business to a certified sustainable company, as they are rewarding companies that can prove they are part of the solution.

Besides doing the right thing for the environment, certified sustainable companies are growing up to 20x faster than their non-certified peers, due to consumer rewarding them for their actions.

Per the latest Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we need to reduce our global emissions 45% by 2030 (78 months from now) if we are to keep global warming below 1.5°C.

This is an “All hands on deck” call because you are not going to like it when we tip over that threshold.  

This report discusses the current state of affairs in the EU, which is better prepared than most of the world.  Here are the key points:

• There is a persistent gap between transparency and action – 23% of companies in the study still lacked emission reduction targets.
• Though science-based targets (SBTs) are now mainstream, the main emissions producers still lack them – 87% of known emissions are still not being targeted.
• Net-zero targets remain in their nascent stage – 92% of companies do not yet have net zero targets.
• Energy efficiency is working and not negatively impacting revenues – Operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) have gone down by 14%, while revenues have gone up 8%.
• Scope 3 is the key – 92% of known emissions are Scope 3.

How is this an opportunity for you?

• If you are a vendor to another company, you are part of its Scope 3.
• Per the above, Scope 3 is where the problem/opportunity is.
• For the world to meet its emissions goals, Scope 3 vendors need to step up.
• Companies, in need of reporting on their own emissions, need information from their Scope 3 vendors.
• This will force those companies (ie, your clients and prospects) to select vendors that can prove they are sustainable and have a carbon emissions program.
• Net, as time is short, if your company is certified sustainable and carbon neutral, you will help your clients and prospects satisfy their Scope 3 needs, while your peers fail to do so.
• You will take market share…..and have a hand in giving the next generation a fighting chance.

As we have reported, starting in Fiscal 2024, the EU will demand sustainability reports and audits for companies operating there. 

The US SEC is finalizing its own reporting requirements.

By the end of 2023, it is expected that more than half the world’s economies will be requiring some level of reporting on sustainability. 

This brings us to the elephant in the room – the political debate over ESG. 

• First, as a refresher, sustainability is the E (ie, environment) of ESG.
• We DO NOT recommend a company initially pursue an ESG program. We recommend starting with sustainability certification, then carbon neutrality certification, then, a few years later, consider ESG and Net Zero.  This will deliver the highest ROI and benefit to your company.
• At the corporate operating level (ie, on Main Street), sustainability is tremendously beneficial to a company.
• Further, at the operational level, ESG works and companies with ESG programs are out-performing their peers that do not have ESG programs.
• However, Wall Street saw an opportunity and tried to package and sell ESG Funds to the public. The questions associated with these funds are – A) How are companies evaluated/judged in order to be part of a fund?  And, B) Should fund managers be allowed to invest the money of their clients to support environmental and social causes?
• The debate over these two points has become political, as this video explains.

At the end of the day, politics aside, the planet needs your help and by helping the planet, you will also be helping your company grow faster.  This master class explains the benefits to you, the steps you should take, and what to look for in a program.  Contact us with questions.

This article discusses a study on 14 million social media documents (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube), 330 million users (you are probably in the study) and 480 actions (ie, posting or commenting on a post), leading to this question:

• Why, despite increasingly obvious signs of climate change, are we not doing more?

The obstacles are as follows:

1. Disconnected optimism
   Rewards and centers ambitious – but unrealistic – ideas for solutions
2. Information gap
   A lack of reliable and useful information promotes skepticism and a sense of powerlessness among citizens
3. Fear of downsides
   An outsized focus on the negative consequences of action that can detract from genuine opportunities for change
4. Delegation of authority
   The sense that tackling climate change is someone else’s job
5. Hopelessness
   Feelings of defeat and pessimism, a sense that it is too late to do anything

Given that we help companies become environmentally certified sustainable, and besides helping the environment and future generations, certified sustainable companies make more money than their non-certified peers, we should have every company on the planet calling us.  Yet, the fact is, less than 1% of SMEs pursue this opportunity to help themselves while helping the world.

We would add the following to the list:

6. Fear of change – Most of us are not comfortable doing something new.
7. Fear of lack of knowledge – Most business leaders do not feel confident they have enough information to make a decision.
8. Fear of Time Commitment – Business leaders are afraid the process will take their team away from the Day Job.

At the end of the day, all these reasons contribute to lack of action, which is not just a risk to the planet, but also a lost opportunity for the business.  This master class explains the benefits of becoming certified sustainable and also explains what to look for in a program.  If a business follows this guide, it will be happy.
