Perhaps Gordon D’Arcy would pen an article and do a deep-dive to establish the real truth on why the IRFU cancelled the Ireland Men’s 7s program after 10years of great success qualifying for both the Tokyo & Paris Olympics..!

[The Irish Times @IrishTimes]

🏉 Gordon D’Arcy: Players emerging from private schools are super athletes but lack rugby IQ

👉 Head coach has been working with essentially the same squad for three years – he cannot go to the market for a quick fix

👉 The provinces in Ireland are almost entirely beholden to what their academies produce, supplemented by three overseas players and perhaps the odd Irish-qualified player available from abroad. That is the entire toolkit

Excellent article by Gordon Darcy today, and whilst I agree with many of his points, however since he mentioned ‘rugby pathways’ - in my opinion it’s a great pity IRFU & their leaders decided to cancel the Ireland Men’s 7s program after 10years of great success.!

Mike - this is excellent & can I, #DavidR_FinTech, make one comment - as there is a real need for upskilling All sectors to implement ESG, as ESG is perhaps the biggest ever behavioral driver & challenge of our time, we have only one planet let’s look after it🌏🌍🌎#EarthDay

Are you growing sustainably with sustainability?

Growth in general, and digital growth in particular, is closely linked to sustainability.

ESG, which stands for environmental, social, and governance, has become a critical factor for investors and businesses alike.

Despite the challenges associated with incorporating ESG considerations into decision-making, there are ways to overcome barriers and reap the resulting benefits.

Here are some potential solutions:

➡️ Standardization

While there is no universal framework for measuring ESG performance, there are several existing frameworks that organizations can use as a starting point. For example, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) provides guidelines for sustainability reporting, while the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) provides standards for specific industries. Organizations can also work with stakeholders to develop tailored reporting frameworks that address their individual ESG risks and opportunities.

➡️ Transparency

To improve the transparency of ESG reporting, organizations can work with stakeholders to understand their information needs and develop clear and concise reports that address those needs. Organizations may also use third-party verification and assurance services to validate the accuracy and reliability of their ESG information.

➡️ Complexity

To address the complexity of ESG issues, organizations can use a materiality assessment process to identify and prioritize the most significant risks and opportunities. That can help organizations focus their efforts on the most important problems and develop targeted strategies to solve them.

➡️ Financial performance

To align ESG considerations with financial performance, organizations can use a total value framework that considers the long-term impact of ESG issues on financial performance. That can help organizations make informed decisions that balance short-term and long-term interests.

In the age of ESG, every action that paves our way to a more socially responsible and sustainable future is valuable.

Let’s walk this path together, it’s worth it.

I'd love to read your thoughts in the comments💡

Wow-o-Wow, this is why ESG is the biggest ever behavioral driver & challenge of our time, and one we All must accept … we have only one planet let’s look after it🌏🌍🌎#EarthDay @ValaAfshar

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

"Something to think about: #EarthDay

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Let's scale that to 46 years. We have been here for 4 hours. Our industrial revolution began 1 minute ago. In that time, we have destroyed 50% of the world's forests. This isn't sustainable."

Congrats to @Failte_Ireland 10th anniversary promoting @Irelands stunning @WildAtlanticWay, over 2600 km, from majestic @Donegal starting @ Inishowen Peninsula to picturesque Kinsale in Cork, wow, perhaps the best marketing tool ever in terms of Economic value☘️.

[Fáilte Ireland @Failte_Ireland]

A big day for tourism today as we mark 10 years of the Wild Atlantic Way at #Meitheal2024, Ireland’s most important tourism trade event.

Since we launched the brand at Meitheal 2014, the @wildatlanticway has become a globally recognised tourism brand and has provided an economic engine for the west of Ireland.

New report estimates that almost 2 million more tourists visited the region in 2023 than in 2013.

The Wild Atlantic Way drives €3billion in revenue per year, an increase of 58% in 10 years.
