Instead, Business & Human Rights's outreach to tech companies was largely met with silence. Analysis: business-humanrights.org/en/from-us/bri…

It’s clear from the very poor #COP29 agreement that rich countries are placing all their bets on private capital to deliver the transition to renewable energy. This is a path fraught with risk and danger - my takeaway from Baku explains why: business-humanrights.org/en/blog/the-co…

The European Commission omnibus proposal signals a shift towards a Trump-influenced deregulatory agenda that prioritises market freedoms over public interest. European Parliament & member states must not eviscerate corporate sustainability. Mary Robinson & me for EUobserver: euobserver.com/eu-political/a…

The #omnibus, coming at a tumultuous time for global markets, creates further uncertainty for business & investors. Responsible companies that have already invested in reporting & due diligence systems, and intend to continue, will lose out. Me & Heidi Hautala for Sustainable Views
