What I have been up to this week, to date, in Vienna and Wales. A complex mix of ecotoxicology and vultures.

Some reflections on the implications of Patagonia’s landmark change of ownership for the wider business sustainability agenda. Spoiler alert: not everyone will follow suit. An interview by Matt Barr with my colleague Louise Kjellerup Roper and I: www.wearelookingsideways.com/p/the-announ….

We live in extraordinary times, which is creating enormous pressure on the sustainability agenda. So, is sustainability-as-usual the right approach or are we now in a dramatically different era that demands radical rethinking? 

To address these questions, ERM, GlobeScan and Volans have partnered to develop a robust consultation on the state of the sustainability agenda. We would greatly appreciate your participation in a wide-ranging stakeholder consultation to inform progress against critical 2030 sustainability goals. You can complete the survey here:

The results will shape a public report as well as a series of dialogues on the state of the field and the most promising pathways forward. You can indicate your interest in being a part of dialogues over the coming months in the survey. Thank you!
