Trends in Climate and Sustainability Reporting: Ep. 42 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast

2023 has marked another year of climate and sustainability in the spotlight. There’s been continued — if not increasing — scrutiny on whether brands and businesses are actually following through with their pledges, particularly around climate and net-zero, and whether there are real data and actionable plans behind those pledges.

In many countries, the push for mandatory disclosures has gained momentum during this period. Back in July, the European Commission adopted the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), standardizing how companies within the European Union report climate change and other ESG-related actions. Meanwhile, in the U.S., where policy on climate disclosures remains in limbo, the state of California has taken matters into its own hands, signing into law the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, known as SB-253, which has implications well beyond companies operating in California.

“Red Sky Fuel for Thought“ is a monthly podcast produced by Havas Red, examining emerging themes relevant to brand communicators and marketers.
