With a record $31 trillion in #sustainable #investments last year, it's clear that large institutional investors are incorporating critical environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into their capital allocations and stewardship criteria. https://t.co/14n5u6RD3C

#BizHumanRights study via @BHRRC shows there's a lot of work to do in renewable energy sector. Low scores on land rights; respect for indigenous rights are concerning. Implementing the #UNGPs is a bit better, but none of the companies meet expectations.

Well worth watching! 👀 Nicola Sturgeon on the Wellbeing Economy that challenges the acceptance of GDP as the ultimate measure of a country's success. #Wellbeing needs to be at the heart of everything we do. Perhaps #Canada needs to join? https://t.co/yc57ISSs9G

The 2020 #SDG Report is out! and Canada's grade (21st) is that of a high-school slacker. If it doesn't pull its grades up there'll be deeper consequences than summer school to consider! 🇨🇦 (a G7 country) finishes higher than 🇺🇸 but lower than 🇧🇾 & 🇰🇷. https://t.co/f29ByhMDGi

A client asked us to help them assess their #GenderEquality practices, so we built a tool for it. While still in beta, we think others will benefit from it and are making this #Diagnostic #tool freely available online. Please share. https://t.co/5JofHPIuVT

Getting “back to normal” isn't feasible b/c “normal” got us here in the 1st place. #COVID19 has shown us how deeply connected we are to others & to the planet. With the #SDGs as our 🗺, we can design a brighter, more equal and greener future for all: https://t.co/NBJNuUrSIP

Forget the usual stereotypes of #HumanRightsDefenders. Then meet the 30 yr old Cambodian single mother who was thrown in prison for posting concerns on Facebook that workers from her factory might be laid off in the wake of the pandemic. https://t.co/3t2z1C0cQm

As we return to our workplaces, we are relying on cleaners to keep us safe - but whose got their backs? Cooperation between building owners, contractors & tenants is vital in protecting the rights of cleaners. https://t.co/EdhCKjfQiK
