Many workplaces have been tackling psychosocial risk for a while now. From "we need to treat psych risk in the EXACT same way as we do physical risks" to our current state of knowledge that says that the traditional WHS risk management approach won't work (and won't comply with legislative obligations), the learnings are starting to stack up. Samantha Thomas and I share some of those learnings in this paper, including ways to avoid the potential pitfalls.

Came across this interesting research in @science into the climate policies that have achieved major emissions reductions over the last twenty years. A timely release given where we are on the run up to COP 29 and the work countries are doing now on NDCs 3.0. The key points I took out 👇 but more importantly the link to the full article to have a read yourself. Researchers analysed global evidence of 1500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 across 41 countries from six continents. In that time 63 - yes 63 - successful policy interventions were found with total emission reductions between 0.6 billion and 1.8 billion metric tonnes. The study found that policy combinations—rather than standalone initiatives—proved most successful in cutting emissions. The findings also highlight though, the importance of sector specific policy approaches, of economic development to the mix of policy effectiveness and ultimately, and least surprising, the level of increase in effective policy measures needed to cut emissions fast enough. There is no one size fits all approach - read the full article here https://lnkd.in/eWNhVRFC #climateaction

I'm thrilled to announce the latest episode of the EY Sustainability Matters podcast, where we take a closer look at the environmental footprint of our food choices. From farm to table, the impact is significant, and it's time we bring it to light.

On the podcast Stephen dispels the myths that sustainability means compromising on quality or profitability. 🌟 Pete Statham, Head of Sustainability and Government Relations at Sysco GB, shares how Nutritics' software is revolutionizing the industry by enabling large-scale, impactful changes. Discover how tweaking just one menu item can have a measurable environmental impact when scaled globally. Our guests discuss the potential for innovation and the opportunities that lie ahead to forge a more sustainable, resilient food industry of tomorrow.   #SustainabilityMatters #EYGlobal #Sustainability   Listen to the full episode: Apple Podcasts -  https://lnkd.in/etRJvXax Spotify -  https://lnkd.in/eETstcFA

Setting a strategy in a world of competing demands is really challenging and something we have grappled with in setting our own new sustainability strategy... Some of my thoughts, our process and the commitments we have made are discussed in the article below. Would love it to spark a conversation.... #sustainability #climate #strategy #sustainabilitystrategy #CSO Rebecca Dabbs David Larocca Alexandra Banks Sarah Bagshaw Adam Ross

If we can't describe the destination we will never get there. This is that moment. Please contact your National Standard Building organisation to find out how to get involved and PLEASE SHARE THE NEWS. If people don't know about it they can't get involved - and we need as many of the 171 countries with National Standards Bodies to be actively co-creating this as possible.
