♻️ Can we really compare carbon footprints?

At product level, carbon footprints can be difficult to compare - even when products look identical.

Without a shared approach, emissions data is not always directly comparable, making it harder for businesses and policymakers to make informed decisions.

That's why with @CarbonMeasures, we are co-leading the independent Technical Expert Panel on Carbon Accounting, bringing together experts from business, academia and civil society, to provide carbon accounting that can be used to compare products and support emissions management.

The Panel's first publication sets out its mission, the opportunity ahead and the guiding principles that will underpin this work, while building on existing efforts across the field.

Trade finance offers a valuable line of defence against financial crime.

For financial institutions, transactions involving ocean shipments can provide valuable visibility into the movement of goods, helping identify potential sanctions evasion, trade-based money laundering, fraud and other forms of financial crime.

But as deceptive shipping practices become more sophisticated, effective vessel checking is becoming increasingly complex.

Developed by a working group of our Financial Crime Policy Taskforce, our new guide sets out practical recommendations to help financial institutions strengthen vessel screening through proportionate, risk-based controls, better use of maritime data and technology, and greater collaboration across the public and private sectors.

Professor Ines Meyer of the Living Wage South Africa Network says that companies should pay their workers R20,000 per month.

The network’s latest study of 2,000 participants in South Africa revealed that R20,000 was the amount needed to live a decent life.

Although the average respondent had net pay below R14,000, South Africans with net pay above R25,000 could live a decent life.

The R20,000 figure was selected as the midpoint, as it allows South Africans to adequately satisfy the following criteria:

To realise the lives they value;
Save something for the future;
Be prepared for occasional emergencies, like unforeseen medical costs, and
Enjoy a decent standard of living and human dignity

Meyer states that companies seeking to preserve their market share will eventually have to pay their employees at least a living wage amid calls for broader social reform.

As Summit Chair Vinod Hirdaramani puts it, stabilisation was about getting the economy back on track. The harder question now is what we do with that progress.

Where will the next growth opportunities come from? What will make Sri Lanka more competitive? How do we attract investment and connect more strongly with regional and global markets?

At the 𝗦𝗿𝗶 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗮 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 & 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, these are the questions that will be on the table, with policymakers, investors, business leaders and international voices looking at what needs to happen next.
