I help companies leverage sustainability to drive Business and Societal Value #smallactionsBIGDIFFERENCE
We are in a #sustainability chapter of #conflict. Customers demand #transparency and #tracing from companies yet #greenwashing and backpedaling is abundant. Sending the right message matters. Supply chain alignment and 3rd party certifications are key!

Long-term #sustainability means having a #legacy plan that integrates inevitable changes.
What not to do: Despite rising green energy, #Saudi Arabian minister of #energy said:
“We are still going to be the last man standing, and every molecule of hydrocarbon will come out.”

Advice from @Professor Katy Milkman, @the Wharton School professor and author, about #NewYearsResolution s also applies to making last change in organizations: 1) Have a growth mindset. Change is possible and achievable, 2) Find out what's in the way, 3) Break it into bite-sized increments
In December 2023, 10% of all job postings were for fully remote positions, yet 46% of all applications went to those positions. Bridging the gap between what managers want and what employees want is key to long-term #sustainability! Companies are just made up of people! #WFH #TRO
@BetterUp CEO Alexi Robichaux, Forbes #FutureOfWork50 luminary, at #Davos: changing the relationship between employees and employers is key to future human flourishing and innovation. Mental health is no longer taboo, but a critical resource to protect! #smallactionsbigdifference
Great read about how @iptiQ an *insurance company* strives to build #trust.
Applicable lesson: Don't #automate everything. Allow your employees to be full humans at work, and let your customers interact with them VS a faceless online portal! #ethicalAI
Great interview about the "gift of time!" 🔍 #Trust and #Transparency take time to build. Empowering employees, keeping your stakeholders informed are powerful intangible assets which serve you greatly! #TransparencyMatters #smallactionsbigdifference
This holiday season, remember the #Social competent of #ESG. Report by @the Conference Board finds that 50% of workers are not happy with their compensation. Top priorities: location & hour flexibility, aligned incentives, and PTO!
#Empowered #employees = #sustainable #success
Good example from @Taskrabbit re: setting #sustainable workplace norms: #motivation and #productivity lessens during the holidays. So "recharge" week was established between #Christmas and #NewYears to give all employees time off to truly unwind, knowing they wont be pinged!

Expected fight on the path to #sustainability at #COP28. #SultanAlJabar, president of this year's COP and executive of #Adnoc says to one group that there is "no science" to motivate #fossilfuel phaseouts/ to another fights adamantly for them. We need clarity from #leadership!
#COP28 Happy to see @un Global #Stocktake Report telling world leaders lessons I've taught my students for years! #smallactionsbigdifference. #Consumers have immense power to generate or reduce #emissions. #Corporations can leverage their intangible assets for #sustainability!
#COP28 🧵
All over the world Climate turned the corner this year. In Canada we had our worst wildfire season EVER before summer even hit. In 2023 the COP global climate conference has never been more important yet more compromised. Your daily #COP28 coverage begins here
All eyes on #COP28 for the #future of #sustainability. Oil and natural gas industries have continued to invest in new production, out of step with global #netzero goals. Be ready to dispel the common #myth that burning fossil fuels is necessary to produce #petroleum byproducts!
