| For our final Monthly Briefing this year, our theme is 2030. With 2020 having been a year like no other, perhaps the most positive result has been the wider understanding and commitment to placing responsible business at the heart of business strategy.
As our lead article Think 2030 highlights, we urgently need to accelerate progress to live within planetary boundaries and towards social justice and equity. Looking at how to optimise near-term value through ESG, while building a long-term strategy for sustainable and responsible business, we pose the key questions to ask. While our side article Think 2030: Circularity Strategies and Tips, examines why business models that decouple growth from finite resources, are the only way forward.
Our selected news stories this month focus on the ambitious, with clear line of sight on 2030: Bentley, whose commitments and timings go beyond Government legislation; GSK, with net zero commitments that include being a positive force on nature; and L’Oréal, taking widened responsibility for reducing product impact during use phase and informing customers to make sustainable choices.
From now to 2030 is the time for business to become more inclusive and regenerative. |
