Why Due Diligence Demands Real Dialogue From the German LkSG to France's Duty of Vigilance and the upcoming CSDDD, due diligence laws demand meaningful stakeholder engagement. Here's how to get it right.

Due diligence without real dialogue is just paperwork. Workers won't speak up to auditors easily. Only trust-based engagement surfaces the risks that matter. 👉 buff.ly/rFTIZ3B

The Plastic Paradox: Confronting a Existential Threat We live in a world built on plastic: and increasingly poisoned by it. Microplastics are in our food, water and bloodstream. Nanoplastics are crossing biological boundaries we once believed were impene...

I’ve just published The Plastic Paradox.

It challenges the idea that banning plastics equals progress and argues instead for honesty about material trade-offs, market failure and system design.

A protest scene with people gathered outdoors, one person holding a handmade sign showing the Earth and the words “There is no Planet B.” Overlaid text reads: “Responsible business must protect people and the planet.” Below it is a quote asking how the government will ensure its responsible business review addresses human rights, labour rights, and environmental harms across supply chains. A circular headshot of a woman with glasses appears alongside her title as a Green Party peer. The Green Party logo is at the bottom.

Businesses must respect human rights, labour rights and our environment — across whole supply chains, at home and abroad.

I’ll be pressing the government on how its review will ensure that.
