Sustainability

Our vision is that together we can accelerate a climate-positive economy that restores forests and communities, while simultaneously empowering people.

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) have announced the members of the project working group leading the work to create a new sustainability reporting standard for agriculture and fishing.

Over the course of April, Acre convened a number of virtual round-tables to discuss business continuity and effective Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) leadership during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Organizations now have the means to disclose a complete picture of the waste impacts in their activities, products and services – following the launch of a new reporting standard by GRI, provider of the leading global sustainability standards.

In its newly published annual stewardship report, Martin Currie explains that such engagements allow asset managers to influence companies in which they invest to encourage sustainable returns over the long term. The report details its efforts to address specific issues – namely water risks, cybersecurity and tax responsibility – collaboratively.

This week there has been an insightful contribution to the debate about sustainability disclosure in the EU, provided by Carol Adams, Professor of Accounting at Durham University Business School.

The COVID‐19 crisis is accelerating the transformation of business – one that solidifies the private sector mandate of a stakeholder‐first, rather than shareholder‐only, mentality.

Today, we’re releasing our 2019 Impact Report, which encompasses our environmental, social and governance work throughout the past year and explores our progress to-date on our impact goals.

The Report was prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core option, a set of international standards governing sustainability reporting.
