The European Parliament has voted to adopt the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), following months of negotiations between the European Union (EU) institutions and member states.
“Ensuring that corporations take responsibility for preventing and managing the environmental, labour, and human rights impacts of their supply chains is key to global sustainable development efforts. The adoption of the CSDDD is a step in the right direction”, Suzy H. Nikièma, Director of Investment at the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) said.

Some asset managers are retreating from their public ESG commitments due to so-called ‘greenhushing’ suggests a report into ESG investing in private markets.
The report, ‘The State of Private Market ESG and Impact Investing in 2024’, was published by PitchBook, a market data provider for the private equity and venture capital markets.
It found that firms are no longer prioritising some of their ESG and impact investing programs for fear of a backlash from opponents of green and sustainable investment strategies or for fear of reputational damage amid claims of greenwashing.

Nestlé Purina utilises a variety of fish and seafood items, sourced from around the world and is the first GSSI partner from the petfood industry to join the global partnership network.
A high proportion of the seafood ingredients in Purina’s products are seafood sidestreams - those parts of the fish remaining after fillet removal. Despite this, the company believes that it can further expand its use of responsibly managed and sourced seafood and has set a goal for the ingredients in its products to be 100 percent responsibly sourced by 2030.

All leaders have two selves. There’s the self we prefer to present to the world – the one that is run by our pre-frontal cortex and is measured, rational, and capable of making deliberate choices. And then there’s the self, run by the amygdala, that is reactive and impulsive and often causes us to fail to meet our commitments or overreact in frustration. The antidote to reacting from the second self is to develop the capacity to observe your two selves in real time. You can start by noticing and labeling your negative emotions such as impatience, frustration, and anger – to get distance from them. Also, watch out for times when you feel you’re digging in your heels. The absolute conviction that you’re right and the compulsion to take action are both strong indicators that you‘re operating from that second self. Finally, it’s important to ask yourself two key questions in challenging moments: “What else could be true here?” and “What is my responsibility in this?” Questioning your conclusions offsets confirmation bias and looking for your responsibility helps you focus on what you can change – your behavior.

Various environmental, social and governance (ESG)-related funds from Abrdn, Morgan Stanley and UBS have recently been renamed to omit sustainability-related phrases.
In addition, according to data from Morningstar Direct cited by the FT, launches of environmental, social and governance (ESG)-related funds have been steadily declining, with only six launched in the second half of 2023 compared to an average of nearly 100 a year between 2020 and 2022.
The trend follows a ruling from the SEC in September 2023 that 80% of assets in funds must be related to the name.

As increasingly tighter rules aim to address environmental concerns, businesses face mounting pressures to meet these new sustainability targets.
This year’s InCosmetics Global trade show housed a dedicated Sustainability Zone to help beauty and personal care companies navigate the ever-changing rules, as they continue their journey to become more sustainable throughout their supply chains.
According to Dr Barbara Olioso from The Green Chemist Consultancy – who was moderating and overseeing the Sustainability Zone – it’s a challenging topic for businesses and more collaboration could very be helpful.

A collaboration between aquaculture technology specialists Ace Aquatec and start-up Tiny Fish aims to advance the Scottish salmon industry’s circular economy by helping the sector gain access to new premium food markets for its smallest fish.
Scottish salmon farms have an approximate monthly survival rate of 97 to 99 percent throughout their lifecycle, with the fish lost each month commonly being composted. However, through their new collaboration, Ace Aquatec and Tiny Fish hope to alter this fate, culling smaller fish and marketing them as a premium food product.
