One member asks, “We are wondering if any companies have transitioned away from offering disposable coffee cups to employees as part of their operational waste reduction strategy and how did that go? If they did transition from disposable, did they provide employees with reusable cups/tumblers to use in the office? Any insights or lessons learned from the process would be much appreciated!” Read More

One member asks, “Given the increase in greenwashing regulations and overall scrutiny from providing misleading statements, my team has been discussing the development of an internal “claims policy” to clearly define how employees can most accurately communicate our sustainability and climate-related achievements. Have any members implemented something similar? If so, is it a standalone policy, or is it incorporated into an existing environmental, sustainability, or ESG policy? Any examples, lessons learned, or general guidance would be greatly appreciated. Read More

One member asks, “Are members still pursuing SBTi and SBTi validation for targets? As SBTi continues to fine-tune the next Corporate Net-Zero Standard we are finding it is becoming less business friendly and more complex. Simultaneously, we are aware that many large companies are moving away from the SBTi framework and opting to set internal science-based targets. Is SBTi still the gold standard or are others considering other frameworks like ISO? Would deeply appreciate it if any members are willing to share their experience particularly if they have moved away from SBTi.” Read More

One member asks, "We are leading a materiality assessment next year. We are not hit by the CSRD so are not required to do a fully-compliant CSRD double materiality assessment but I do plan on doing a "double materiality light" assessment (as we did last time in 2023 with a big four firm leading). Does anyone have recommendations for data-driven platforms? I have heard positive views of Datamaran but wondered what experience you have had with them and/or other data-driven tools/methodologies."
