In the first of a two-part series for Sustainable Views, Claudia A. R. De Meulemeester dives into the world of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances or “forever chemicals” and examines the challenges confronting regulators who face a trade-off between restricting potentially toxic chemicals and pushing industry to seek alternatives whose large-scale commercialisation is yet to be tested.

Tough global competition, the devastating effects of climate change, and soil erosion are the key challenges facing the EU agriculture sector, said European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, while presenting the bloc's key priorities for farming and food policies. “The emphasis on financing the necessary transitions - whether through a ‘dedicated and commensurate CAP budget,’ a ‘temporary just transition fund' and ‘a well-resourced nature restoration fund’ both outside the CAP, or the strengthening of public-private partnerships to mobilise capital” - is a move welcomed by COPA COGECA, am umbrella body for farming unions and co-operative bodies across the EU.

The ESG disclosure landscape is complex and rapidly evolving, posing compliance challenges and risks for companies. However, it also presents opportunities for better integration of sustainability considerations into corporate strategy and risk management, and more useful sustainability reporting. It was a pleasure working with Rebecca Grapsas Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP on an op-ed outlining steps companies can take to mitigate risk and maximize opportunities in this evolving field. https://lnkd.in/ewthtbwT The Conference Board The Conference Board Europe #ESGCenter Merel Spierings Christine Guinessey Manali Paranjpe Sustainable Views

“OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] are acting as the gatekeepers to the repair market,” Swappie head of public affairs Europe Claire Darmon told an online press briefing on Tuesday. “It is time to address the balance of power in the market and restore a level playing field between OEMs and third-party providers.” By me on Sustainable Views #righttorepair #circulareconomy https://lnkd.in/eY23VvzV

Antimicrobial resistance is estimated to kill more people than HIV and malaria. Investors are calling for a deal, similar to the Paris climate Agreement, to address the challenges of AMR, including setting reduction targets for the use of antibiotics in agriculture and animal farming. Maria Larsson Ortino, health lead at Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM), says that AMR poses a serious threat to investment portfolios, economic stability and global health. #amr #animalfarming #sustainability https://lnkd.in/etjmGErH

EU policy makers and companies are eagerly waiting for the details of a landmark report on EU competitiveness, including how the continent should best position itself in the green transition. The European Commission recently announced a “clean industrial deal”, which is seen as a "make-or-break moment" by Ann Mettler, Europe vice-president at Breakthrough Energy and previously chief of the European Commission’s internal think-tank. "The EU either reclaims the mantle of economic and technological powerhouse, or cements what many see as an irreversible decline," she says. In this opinion piece for Sustainable Views, Mettler explains three core areas that will be key to success. #EUcompetition #industrialstrategy #greentransition https://lnkd.in/eVWVNSaX

Within days of taking office the Labour government put onshore wind back on the agenda for England, by lifting the de facto ban, and it also set ambitious targets for the whole of the UK. While lifting the ban was a “good start” says Josh Taylor an associate director at law firm Osborne Clarke, he does not expect it alone will lead to a significant increase in onshore wind developments in the short term, “due to planning issues and grid constraints”. However, major reforms do look to be on the way. And, yesterday, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero confirmed it has asked National Grid ESO for practical advice from on how to achieve “clean power by 2030” #OnshoreWind #CleanPower #NetZero https://lnkd.in/dUaMuptc

British biomass firm Drax Power must pay a £25mn fine to UK energy regulator, Ofgem, after breaching reporting requirements in the government’s renewables obligations scheme. “There are no excuses for Drax’s admission that it did not comply with its mandatory requirement to give Ofgem accurate and robust data on the exact types of Canadian wood it utilises,” said Ofgem chief executive Jonathan Brearley.
