🧐 Are companies setting ESG goals they can’t keep?

On this week’s The Responsible Edge, @robsherwin explained why weak governance is the biggest risk to corporate sustainability—because without accountability, ESG commitments crumble under commercial pressure.

💬 “If you’ve got the right tone from the top, then all sorts of good things can be done in the environmental and social space. If you don’t have that, you’re going to struggle.”

Rob shared a simple but powerful governance test—Is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it wise?—to help businesses future-proof decisions and avoid ESG failures. Check out the video snippet to see why good governance isn’t about compliance—it’s about staying ahead of shifting expectations.

Recent news underscores this urgency. For example, @PplsPartnership recently withdrew £28 billion from State Street due to its retreat from ESG commitments, reallocating funds to managers with stronger governance. Similarly, @BlackRock's recent resumption of stewardship engagements after new SEC guidance highlights how pivotal governance is in navigating evolving ESG standards.

This is heartwarming and a reminder of the good in humanity.

200+ South African firefighters landed in Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire.

Upon arrival, they greeted Canada with a special song and dance in the early hours of the morning...full of pride and resilience!

How’s it going? To mark 1st anniversary of 🇷🇺’s invasion of 🇺🇦, Ukrainian Postal Service has released Banksy mural as stamp. A picture is worth a thousand words…

[Dame Melinda Simmons @MelSimmonsFCDO]

On this awful 1 year milestone of the 🇷🇺 invasion my colleagues in 🇬🇧Embassies around 🌎 played the 🇺🇦 National Anthem to show their support for 🇺🇦. All of us @UKinUkraine so appreciate their support now and over the whole of the last year.

On the war in Ukraine for @unherd, a year on.

“Even a battlefield breakthrough… would lock Russia in a long-term disaster.”
Very perceptive by @gideonrachman to show the other side of the coin.

@CathLoveday The gun is still there - facing the cricket pitch of @HAC_TheCompany off City Road. It’s a private, secure space, but I hope the friendly security may let you in for a quick pic. If not, let me know - I’m a member.
