Worrying to see some of Europe’s biggest CEOs calling for the full abolishment of corporate due diligence rules.

Six months ago, the same voices were calling for “simplification.” Now they want to scrap the framework entirely. What changed? (1/7)

"The rich cause #globalwarming. They're responsible for 70% of the stock of GHG in the atmosphere, for using up 60% of the world's carbon budget.
You can't scoff 60% of the cake and say 'Well, we all need to cut back now'"

🚨Financial institutions worried about lack of ambition shown by the @EU_Commission on the sustainability #reportingstandards 🚨
Investors need consistent metrics across companies to decide how to sustainably invest their money 💸👇

[Dave Keating @DaveKeating]

Draft 🇪🇺sustainability reporting standards now under consultation are "a significant rollback of ambition" some investors groups say

The standards, to be set in August, will determine what companies must declare about their environment & climate impacts https://t.co/OlWjUbLX62

The global financial architecture is both unfair and inadequate to meet the challenges of our time.

Global leaders at the #NewGlobalFinancingPact Summit today must channel the “spirit of Paris” once again.

Huge opportunity to get the first steps of this needed reform right. 1/3

NEW 🚨 French waste management giant @Veolia is accused of buying a “toxic” Colombian landfill & has failed to address the risks to defenders who speak out about pollution.

We need the EU 🇪🇺 to pass a strong #CSDDD law to stop corporate abuse like this.

“Fossilflation” isn’t a word we hear a lot, and yet it’s largely to blame for the enormous strain on our finances right now. Only by understanding the real causes of our problems can we pursue the right solutions!

Our banks are in a hidden relationship with oil companies. Together, they’re fuelling climate change 🔥

Responsible investors' views on #CSDDD👇

"To have the greatest impact on real-world emission reductions, it must require all in-scope companies to adopt robust transition plans including climate targets, demonstrating their efforts to align with 1.5C of global warming" 🌍

Policy experts Emily Murrell, @EliseAttal and Aleksandra Paliska shared their view on the proposed EU directive on corporate sustainability due diligence (CSDD) with @Enviro_Finance. 🗨🌍

The IPCC & most vulnerable nations clarify the job ahead of us:
- In the Pacific, the struggle to survive has started.
- 3.3 billion people worldwide -- nearly one in two -- are now highly vulnerable to extreme impacts.
- Saving 1.5C = ending fossil fuels. Full stop.

"Revising directors’ duty of care on an EU level would be a strong signal that it is no longer tolerable for directors of companies to operate without considering the wider implications of their decisions and to justify them based only on profits."

[Alba @Alba_MHoms]

"Of the 27.5 million businesses in Europe, around 1% adopt a form of governance that commits directors to consider sustainability matters and stakeholder interests"
