What's the single biggest barrier your organization is facing around articulating the business value of sustainability internally right now?
This input helps ground @wbcsd.bsky.social's ongoing work in what companies are experiencing in real time.
Solutions like this show how companies can turn climate challenges into practical, scalable business opportunities while reducing risk, creating value from waste streams, and strengthening supply chains in the process. That’s exactly the kind of progress we need to see more of across industries.
Please join me in welcoming Charm Industrial as our newest @wbcsd.bsky.social member!
Charm’s technology converts agricultural and forestry residues into carbon‑rich bio‑oil for permanent underground storage, and enables low‑carbon pathways for cement, steel, and sustainable fuels.
At the @earthxorg.bsky.social #EarthX2026 this #EarthDay, @wbcsd.bsky.social is bringing together senior leaders to focus on the critical elements of health, well-being, resilience, and sustainable infrastructure as a core strategy for long-term value.

Today is #WorldWaterDay — a reminder that water challenges are no longer abstract. They are operational, economic, and increasingly material to business performance.
That’s why the results from the 50L Home Coalition’s Los Angeles pilot matter.

I’m looking forward to joining the stage at Responsible Business USA 2026 in Boston this May to moderate a keynote conversation on how sustainability leaders can communicate the business value of sustainability more effectively. If you're attending #RBUSA, I hope you’ll join us. @wbcsd.bsky.social
Today’s stakeholders expect food companies to be transparent about how they’re advancing healthier, more sustainable diets.
Many are stepping up, and our new @wbcsd.bsky.social briefing highlights the progress, the gaps, and what comes next.
#CorporateAccountability #Transparency #FoodSystems
Where are you seeing the biggest challenges, or breakthroughs, in embedding sustainability into core business decisions?
I’d love to have a conversation about how @wbcsd.bsky.social can help you move this next chapter forward.
@trellisgroup.bsky.social #GreenBiz26
I just a @trellisgroup.bsky.social article on why circularity still hasn’t scaled at the pace needed to match rising material costs, supply-chain disruptions, and growing resource constraints.
Where are you seeing the biggest measurement or comparability gaps? #GreenBiz26 #Circularity
On Wednesday, I'll also be speaking in the breakout session, “The Global Circularity Protocol”. This session will explore how a shared measurement approach helps companies make better decisions, reduce waste and cost, and scale circular business models.
If you’ll be there, let me know!
I’m looking forward to joining @trellisgroup.bsky.social #GreenBiz26 next week!
If you’ll be attending, I’d love for you to join the @wbcsd.bsky.social's Opening Networking Reception, “Beyond the Breaking Point: Are We Doing it Right?” on Tuesday.

You can also save 20% on your All-Access pass with our partner code GB26WBCSD.
I also invite you to join @wbcsd.bsky.social’s Opening Reception on Tuesday. A VIP talk will address how sustainability teams are evolving under geopolitical headwinds and rising demands for ROI, highlighting how value is created and demonstrated through work that will be shared with participants.
During #GreenBiz26, I’ll join the session “The Global Circularity Protocol: A Common Language to Measure and Scale Impact,” which will explore how a shared measurement approach helps companies make better decisions, reduce waste and cost, and scale circular business models with confidence.
I’m looking forward to contributing to the conversation on what’s next in sustainable business at @trellisgroup.bsky.social #GreenBiz. I’ll be joined by +2,500 peers and 300 expert speakers to explore the most pressing issues in topics such as resiliency, supply chains, finance, and more.
The ECOSOC Forum brought together governments, FAO, and the private-sector perspective for a holistic conversation on accelerating investment into agrifood systems that deliver climate and resilience outcomes.

I’m looking forward to speaking at the UN Partnership Forum of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Forum tomorrow as part of the high-level opening segment on agrifood systems and climate finance.

@wbcsd.bsky.social
Join @wbcsd.bsky.social and Deloitte to explore how companies can move beyond a compliance-driven approach and use materiality as a lens to strengthen governance, foresight, and long-term resilience.
I hope you’ll join us.
wbcsd.my.salesforce-sites.com/GuestEventPa... #CorporateAccountability
Failure to assess and address climate risk is a failure of fiduciary responsibility.
Failure to disclose *known* material risks to physical locations, infrastructure & supply chains is fraud.
Deliberately avoiding assessing risks to avoid uncomfortable disclosure ... is malfeasance.
That’s why I’m excited about @wbcsd.bsky.social's Global Circularity Protocol for Business (GCP), a science-based, voluntary framework that helps companies measure, manage, and communicate circularity with standardized steps and metrics across value chains.

In my recent piece as a Forbes Councils member on Forbes.com, I wrote on what I’m hearing from executives: climate leadership is no longer “nice to have” — it’s becoming a core driver of business success.
But... you can’t manage (or finance) what you can’t measure.

Where is your organization seeing the strongest climate-to-value connection right now? Is it risk reduction, cost savings/efficiency, revenue/innovation, talent, or access to capital? I’m always interested in how leaders are measuring progress and what’s actually moving the needle.
The biggest shift I’m seeing: “ROI” is expanding from short-term returns to long-term value creation, and climate leadership is becoming one of the ways organizations prove they’re built to endure and grow.
As a Forbes Councils member, I recently published a piece on @forbes.com through Forbes Nonprofit Council about why climate leadership is increasingly tied to real-world business outcomes.

As the holiday season begins, I wish you peace, happiness, and good health, and hope the year ahead brings continued opportunities to drive meaningful impact for your organizations. I look forward to building on our momentum and continuing our work together in the new year.
Throughout the year, I’ve greatly valued the opportunity to connect with so many of you, whether through meetings, events, or conversations, and to hear directly about what’s working, what’s needed, and where we can continue to add value together.
