New #ImpactBrief is out! New reports, new strategies, and a boatload of news about business and sustainability. What did we miss?

Really great to see the official launch of the BC ESG Centre of Excellence to support the adoption of ESG but it's also significant step forward in building awareness and developing resources for the business community, with a special focus on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Understanding and integrating ESG factors are crucial for sustainable growth and long-term success for any business. I'm excited about the potential impact this center will have on promoting sustainable business practices across various industries and helping businesses of all sizes to navigate the complexities of ESG. It's a commendable initiative that signals a positive shift towards more responsible and impactful business operations. For anyone looking to deepen their understanding of ESG or seeking resources to integrate these principles into their business strategy, I highly recommend visiting https://www.esgbc.ca/.

🔄 "Built to last but with a lasting impact." That may well summarize the paradox of the viral Stanley Tumbler. This trend seems to have strayed far from the original sustainability vision that Stanley set out to champion since 1913. 🌱 Stanley has always committed to making products that replaced single use items. "The most sustainable products are the kind that never need to be thrown away or replaced. Stanley has created reusable, Built For Life™ products for over 100 years, reducing demand for disposable products that end up in waste and water streams." 📈 However, what happens when hyper-consumerism grips a product intended for sustainability? What role can companies play when the tides of consumer behaviour shift unexpectedly? The reality is that the viral interest in Stanley Cups skyrocketed their sales but also exposed the dark side to growth - overconsumption. “To avoid any negative environmental impact from your Stanley tumblers, you would have to keep reusing them for the rest of your life and then pass them on to your children.” ♻️ As the narrative of the Stanley Tumbler unfolds, it prompts us to reflect: How can we, as a collective society, align our consumption practices with the sustainability ethos that companies like Stanley strive to uphold? Is it enough to create sustainable products, or must we also cultivate a culture of sustainable consumption? Do you really need more than one Tumbler? #Sustainability #MindfulConsumption #Overconsumption #EnvironmentalImpact #EcoFriendly #ChangeMindsets #YourCompany
