Today, representatives of Sweden’s official business delegation to COP30, representing all sectors of an economy, publishes a joint Op-Ed in Sweden’s leading business newspaper, Dagens Industri, calling on global decision-makers to: 1. Set clear, predictable, and long-term targets to mobilize capital and innovation. 2. Introduce policies – such as tax incentives, carbon pricing mechanisms, emissions trading and fossil subsidy removal – to create markets for sustainable solutions. 3. Harmonize standards and strengthen sustainability criteria in procurement to drive demand for circular and climate-smart solutions. 4. Build capacity and transfer knowledge to remove local barriers, strengthen institutional capacity and attractiveness for investment. 5. Ensure an inclusive and just transition by involving private sector climate leaders, academia and civil society to make policies effective, fit for purpose and free from unnecessary bureaucracy.

Sweden brings a strong track record and a wide range of scalable solutions to turn pledges into projects – making the NDCs both investable and actionable. Together, let's bridge the implementation gaps. #Sweden #COP30 #SwedenTheClimateMatchmaker #SwedenatCOP

The countdown to #COP30 in Belém has begun. The Nationally Determined Contributions that governments will put on the table will show us where they intend to go – but our assessments of corporate transition plans reveal whether the real economy is ready to deliver. Over the past four years, we assessed 450 companies from the highest-emitting sectors on their readiness for a low-carbon transition. The figures below show both the risks and the opportunities ahead.

With #ClimateWeekNYC behind us, all eyes are on #COP30 in Brazil. I left New York energized by conversations with companies deeply committed to delivering on their sustainability objectives, and individuals doing the hard work to get it done. As we look ahead to Belem, I look forward to seeing this commitment carry into serious corporate engagement with policymakers—to help shape the market conditions needed for sustainable transformation. We’re already seeing shifts in power and road transport; long-term, creative policy support is needed now to accelerate transformation of some of the most challenging sectors, including heavy industry and food systems. Bain will be on the ground in Belem as well as in Sao Paolo during "preCOP" week. We're excited for what’s to come and hope to see you there! Please don't hesitate to reach out. #COP30 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #ClimatePolicy 

For 25 years, the United Nations Global Compact has united business, Government and civil society — putting a human face to the global market and proving that sustainability and business success go hand in hand. Here’s to what’s next. 🌍 #UNGlobalCompact25 Now, as we look to the next 25 years, we want to hear from you: If you could see one major change in corporate sustainability in the next 25 years, what would it be?

Seeing the World Through Two Eyes At the 2025 Tyler Prize Award Ceremony, Dr. Ishwar Puri, Senior Vice President for Research & Innovation at USC, offered a reflection that feels especially resonant as we look ahead to COP30 in Belém: “In Canada, there's a saying attributed to the Mi'kmaq Elders of Nova Scotia — seeing with two eyes: with one eye you see one way, and with the other eye you see another way, and then you reconcile it. If we see the world with a human eye, who is seeing it with the environmental eye?” As nations prepare to gather in the heart of the Amazon for COP30, Dr. Puri’s message is a timely reminder: true progress demands balance — between people and planet, between human ambition and environmental stewardship. Tyler Prize laureates embody that vision — scientists, advocates, and innovators who help the world see with both eyes. 🎥 Watch Dr. Puri’s full reflection from the 2025 Tyler Prize ceremony below. #TylerPrize #COP30 #ClimateLeadership #EnvironmentalScience #Sustainability #USC #Belém #ClimateAction

I’m proud to launch the “𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞-𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 – 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”. When supply chains fail, everyone feels it, because 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬. I asked myself: what if the supply chains that connect producers and consumers could become a force for collaborative climate action and local sustainable development? Together with the Kuehne Climate Center, we turned that idea into the 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞-𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝. We focused on the transport and logistics links, such as roads, railways, ports, and corridors that keep supply chains running but are often overlooked until disruptions hit. The Life-Links Framework is a 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩-𝐛𝐲-𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 to co-develop and co-invest in solutions that strengthen the transport links that keep global trade moving and empower local communities. The result is 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: avoided losses when disruptions occur, GHG emissions reduction, and other economic and sustainability co-benefits. This has been a truly collaborative effort that took over a year. My heartfelt thanks to the 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞-𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 experts from academia, business, development, and civil society; the 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and many others who helped shape and test the Framework. The integration of 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐆𝐇𝐆 𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 will be high on the agenda at COP30 in Brazil. I invite everyone, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬, to apply the Life-Links Framework and share your experiences. Because only together we can build resilient supply chains for good.

“The drive for sustainability is far from over.”♻️   That’s one of UPM VP of Responsibility Sami Lundgren’s key takeaways from Climate Week NYC and the 80th UN General Assembly – both of which he attended last week in New York City.   Other key takeaways include:   🚧There are now more and bigger challenges to driving sustainable business than we’ve seen in the past 20 years.   📈 Many organizations are still progressing on sustainability topics, but making less proactive communication about it.   💪The recent surge of 3,000 new members joining the UN Global Compact - mirroring the spike seen during the COVID-19 pandemic - shows that challenging times can strengthen the momentum for sustainable business.   For more details, you can check out Sami’s key takeaways on the events by following the link in the comments.   #WeRenewTheEveryday #UnitingBusiness #ClimateWeekNYC #UNGA80

At Ferrero, we believe the private sector has a key role to play as a powerful enabler of solutions for climate action. At the Pre-COP30 event hosted by ICC Brasil, our Head of CSR and Sustainability, Mario Abreu joined peers to discuss how business can turn commitments into measurable progress. Key insights: 🌿 Transparency drives resilience. Real-time traceability and open data are essential foundations for credible climate action and adaptation. 📈 Rising expectations. Governments, investors and consumers now demand proof that supply chains are deforestation-free and safeguard people's rights. 🤝 Partnerships multiply impact. Wide cross-sector collaboration is the only way to sensible climate change mitigation. 👩🌾 People-led approach. Climate change consequences will significantly affect the most vulnerable, so a just transition must empower smallholder farmers and protect children.
