We are proud to have conducted the #trade #association analysis of Unilever's Climate Policy Engagement Review, which has been recognised by InfluenceMap as the most robust corporate review to date – scoring 100% with the company ranked second, scoring 57%. Unilever has now become the first company to publish a corporate #climate #policy #engagement review in-line with expectations, as clarified by the CA100+ process and investor groups like UN PRI and articulated by the Global Standard for Responsible Climate Change Lobbying. We call on companies to follow Unilever’s lead and challenge their trade associations to ensure alignment with science-based policy and political action in line with their positions: https://lnkd.in/esJPxGqS Rory Cronin Fiona Duggan Patrick Fernando Uzcategui Thomas Lingard Rebecca Marmot Paul Matthews Read more: https://lnkd.in/du7ra9Ru Louise Kjellerup Roper John Elkington Richard Roberts Cami Daeninck Harriet Ayliffe Mark Roper

We enjoyed having so many of you join #Volans #Book #Club with our CEO Louise Kjellerup Roper and Helen Pankhurst, women’s rights activist, scholar and writer. Thank you all for making it such an engaging and inspiring session. It was a truly expansive conversation around the intersections of #climate #justice, #gender #equality, and #politics, highlighting the need to address these issues simultaneously and prioritize marginalised communities, particularly women. Should you be in a position to support the Centenary Action Campaign which Helen has convened, please do donate or get in touch via the website here: https://lnkd.in/dMdqRvVj “We can make a difference to the world around us and to the networks of those that we can influence - our siblings, our friends, our cohorts, the people that we engage with. And that might seem insignificant, but actually, it is incredibly powerful.” Helen Pankhurst The full recording of the session is now available to watch and share here: https://lnkd.in/dDFy5g8C Just as our team had its annual summer shutdown, Volans Book club will also be taking a break for August and resuming in September. Stay tuned for more details! John Elkington Louise Kjellerup Roper Helen Pankhurst
