@emmalherd is spot on when she says writes: "As regulators ratchet up their scrutiny of environmental claims, businesses are feeling the heat." The best way to avoid greenwashing? Get Fairtrade certified.

Something from me today in the AFR on the need for business to increase transparency and rigour in their corporate reporting on climate change and ESG performance. > Regulators turn up heat on corporate greenwashing https://t.co/3L6odMcwN9

Fairtrade ANZ would like to express our condolences to the family and friends of Deputy PNG Prime Minister Sam Basil who was killed in a motor vehicle accident overnight. He was a good man and a strong and fearless leader. https://t.co/92zLpWH4Dk

The latest scientific evidence shows we have a 50-50 shot of passing 1.5 degrees of warming in the next five years –– a 50% chance of saving low-lying islands and reefs and securing a future for all Pacific people.

That 50% is worth fighting for with everything we’ve got.

[UN Fiji, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu & Vanuatu @UNinFiji]

“If we don’t save the planet🌏as we seek prosperity for people, there will not be any destinations in the Pacific to visit in time,” says our Resident Coordinator, @SanakaS, speaking today at the @UN’s High-Level Thematic Debate on #sustainabletourism & #inclusiverecovery.

The deadly heat this week in India and Pakistan should dominate the news everywhere. It's a horrifying event in its own right - and a glimpse of what is likely to become routine.

[Molly Harriss Olson @MollyHOlson]

Companies that are Fairtrade certified have their whole supply chains audited regularly. So you don't have to worry.3/3

[Molly Harriss Olson @MollyHOlson]

So 91% of the stuff you buy might be, in some way, sourced through slavery. Feel comfortable about that? You shouldn't.2/3

[Molly Harriss Olson @MollyHOlson]

We know modern slavery is a thing - and the new IJM report has just proven it again. According to them, 91% of companies said, in the modern slavery reporting, that there were risks of modern slavery in their supply chains. 1/3

[Molly Harriss Olson @MollyHOlson]

May we all have the courage and wisdom to define the future - and success - like @ashbarty did today:
"Success for me is knowing I've given absolutely everything I can. I'm fulfilled. I'm happy." #success

There's been lots of chatter about $7 coffee lately so I had a chat to @RichelleHunt on @abcmelbourne today about the supply chain and what's really going on. https://t.co/eVBF8MiA32

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...
