Achieving the UN’s Global Goals: How Nestlé Plays its Part

At Nestlé, we understand that for our company to be successful in the long term, we have to create value not only for our business, but for everyone we touch. Those include billions of people from the farmers who grow our ingredients and the families that enjoy our products to the communities where we live and work and the natural environment upon which we all depend. It is our business to deliver food and enhance the quality of life, but we want to ensure that the people we work with on that journey also benefit.

Seeing the World from the Eyes of Your Supplier

Supply chains are a critical element of sustainability success for most companies. Yet working on supply chain sustainability is a challenging task. It’s hard enough to get people in your own company to change their behavior, but influencing the actions of those in another company—even as a large customer—can seem nearly impossible.

The Future of SRI - Sustainable, Responsible, Impact Investing

Eight years ago I received the call asking me to consider joining Trillium Asset Management as CEO. Since that time, we have seen more interest than ever in the field of sustainable investing from a wide variety of institutions, mainstream money managers, and families often driven by women and millennials, bringing assets over to impact. But we are also keenly aware that since the election, the new Administration is actively working to dismantle many of the key policy initiatives we have advocated over the last 35 years. So we are at an interesting crossroads. Looking out over the horizon, I see six emerging trends that I believe shed light on the future of sustainable investing.

Chasing Arrows: The Continued Central Role of Recycling in the Circular Economy

A key tenet of the “circular economy” sustainability paradigm is the reduction in reliance on virgin materials. The goal is to create high-functioning products that flow from cradle to cradle instead of cradle to grave – that is, a closed-loop system, where products are reused rather than disposed of, as opposed to a linear, single-use oriented system. This goal is aptly captured by the classic chasing arrows symbol. Recycling helps build our economic, natural, and social capital, using fewer resources and protecting natural resources as well as impacted ecological systems. It can have positive social impacts as well. This article explores the continued role of recycling in supporting the circular economy.
