CONSULTATION ON ACCOUNTING & REPORTING THE CLIMATE IMPACT OF CERTIFIED COMMODITIES


Last year, we announced our collaboration with ISEAL Code Compliant sustainability standards, including the Better Cotton Initiative, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and others, to lower the climate impact of purchased goods and credibly report on these benefits up and down the value chain. We have now published, Accounting + Reporting the Climate Impact of Certified Commodities, which is open for public consultation until 01 October 2021
 
This initiative is made possible thanks to a grant from the ISEAL Innovations Fund, supported by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO.

BEYOND NET ZERO - CREDIBLE, AMBITIOUS CLIMATE STRATEGIES

 EVENT RECORDING 


Recorded 22 September 2021
As part of CLIMATE WEEK NYC 2021 + NET ZERO FESTIVAL LONDON 


Net Zero commitments are soaring, but many are ‘greenwishing’, lacking concrete plans or involve postponing short term climate action. With speakers from WWF, EDF, Patagonia, and SustainCERT, this discussion focuses on how companies can set ambitious climate strategies and highlight concrete solutions they can take today to reduce emissions within AND beyond their corporate boundaries -- and the fuzzy space in between.

It will also look at how addressing Scope 3 emissions and carbon markets can work together for more ambitious climate action and how to navigate the complexity of emerging claims and practices to recognise climate leadership.
