Wow einfach Hut ab vor den Mitarbeitern von #Ökoworld, die unermüdlich den Entscheidern dieser Welt ins Gewissen reden, "213 Kontakte zu Unternehmen in E-Mails und Video-
konferenzen [..] und 44 Vor-Ort-Besuche". Auf einer Hauptversammlung eines indischen eBus Herstellers wurde eine Rede gehalten und "unter anderem die Klimastrategie, [..] den Anteil erneuerbarer Energien [,] Transparenz im Lieferkettenmanagement, insbesondere zur Wahrung von
Menschenrechten und Umweltstandards [thematisiert]. Diversität wurde angesprochen – insbesondere die Förderung von Frauen in der Belegschaft sowie der Anstieg des Frauenanteils in Führungspositionen". Bei einer anderen Firma war #AIEthics Thema!

"Britain’s top court said local authorities were wrong to give permission for an oil development near London’s Gatwick Airport because they failed to consider the wider impact of burning more than three million tons of oil that will be taken from the site.

"Investors will be asking companies for data on indirect greenhouse gas emissions that new U.S. financial disclosure rules exclude, the International Sustainability Standards Board's (ISSB) chair told Reuters.

"Investors say #Scope3 is important," ISSB Chair Emmanuel Faber said in an interview."

There are terms like PPA and REC. Not all of those tools are #greenwashing. Proper #RenewableEnergy Credits (REC/GoO) can help to fund existing #renewable #energy projects and Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) create new #renewables! This includes drilling into scope2 and #scope3 #co2 emissions of #Google #Amazon #Microsoft. This includes not only #electricity consumption but also emissions caused by the creation of the hardware, building, infrastructure...

Update:
#SEC signals backing off on #Scope3 #emissions

"Walking back the Scope 3 requirement would represent a win for those in the corporate world that lobbied against the changes and would deviate from European Union rules which would make Scope 3 disclosures mandatory for large companies starting in 2024."

Scope 3 emissions included:

"By 2026, those companies will have to publicly disclose how much #carbon is produced by their operations and electricity use. Critically, by 2027, they will also be required to report #emissions generated by their #SupplyChains and customers, known as “#Scope3” emissions, which are highly controversial among business interests, including the #FossilFuel industry."
