The latest trends and initiatives in ESG and Sustainability
Our Perspective
Sustainability progress is often undervalued when driven by regulation, but compliance requires significant effort and strategic focus across industries and organizations.
Industry Updates
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has published a 97-page draft of its next Corporate Net-Zero Standard that recognizes companies for climate finance and carbon removal investments, provides clearer guidance on Scope 2 and 3 commitments and prescribes what should be included in climate transition plans.
Brazil’s COP30 presidency pushed through a compromise climate deal that would boost finance for poor nations coping with global warming but that omitted any mention of the fossil fuels driving it. In securing the accord, Brazil hoped to demonstrate global unity in addressing climate change impacts.
The Department of Energy (DOE) has undergone a sweeping restructuring that eliminates or renames several clean-energy offices while elevating fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and critical mineral development. The changes reveal the most significant realignment of federal energy priorities since the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
Industry Spotlight
