Africa: Eliminating Food Waste through a Circular Economy

The circular economy is an economic model focused on eliminating waste and inefficiency and promoting greater resource productivity. The carbon footprint of wasted food is approximately 3.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere on an annual basis. The shift to a circular economy is not only about managing waste—it presents a new economic paradigm for rethinking how we design, use, and reuse our resources (both products and services), with an estimated economic output potential of USD $4.5 trillion per year by 2030.
The COVID-19 pandemic showed in many cases all the drawbacks of the present economic model- the linear economy (‘take-make-dispose’). Facilitated by Shared Value Foundation, join us at the B Corp Climate Summit on [Date + Time] to explore how long-term thinking that applies a circular economy lens could help establish a more resilient and sustainable business.
The session will focus on:

What is the essence of applying circular economy principles in managing food waste?
How are businesses involved in food adopting circularity principles and business models to become more resilient over the long term?
Hear from two companies the story of how they introduced circular principles in their business activities: the vision, their approach and the challenges they encountered.
Potential of the circular economy strategy for a green recovery post pandemic?

Europe: Interdependence Coalition Virtual Launch

Join us for the launch of the Interdependence Coalition, a policy initiative to advocate for stakeholder governance across Europe.

There is a better way to do business.
During the first B Corp Global Climate Summit, we are thrilled to officially launch our Interdependence Coalition.

We’re setting out to transform how companies operate and how they are governed to contribute to an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system.

Success of the EU’s proposed Green Deal depends on businesses considering the planet as a stakeholder. Without a vibrant planet, we can not support healthy communities nor can sustain business. It is time for change.

Our objective is to make sure every company registered in the European Union aligns the interests of their shareholders and administrators with those of wider society and the environment by making it a pan-European directive.

Earlier this year, in partnership with The Good Lobby, B Lab Europe responded to the European consultation on Sustainable Stakeholder Governance and presented our position in a letter, signed by over 60 B Corps. There are many proposals underway in the EU that further the sustainability related path that the EU has set for its economy. These include proposals for regulations related to non-financial reporting, to investors’ duties and to due diligence in supply chains. These all need to be aligned for the fullest impact on our economy, society and planet.

The Interdependence Coalition is bringing together a broad and growing coalition of leaders from across all sectors and nations across the European Union to help deliver this new contract between business and society.

Africa: Plastics Leading Towards a Circular Economy

At the global, national and local level, there is increased action to address concerns around plastics in the environment. The circular economy approach in plastic waste management requires producers to take responsibility, save energy, design waste out of the system, and create a market for reuse.
In this session, we explore the role of plastics in our society and how existing recycling and reprocessing infrastructure can be improved and enhanced to capture and recycle more plastic waste; avoiding escape into the environment.
Governments have imposed legislation and regulations that would, among other things, require extended producer responsibility and impose bans and restrictions on plastic products sales. We will explore the role of the private sector and the B Corp Movement in supporting the implementation of these regulations and importantly how such regulation can be used to drive innovation and change in the way businesses handle plastics after first use.
Specifically, the session will aim to:

Explore options to improve waste management, reduce plastic use and increase recyclability in the region;
Investigate the role of the private sector and B Corps in shaping and implementing plastics regulations;
Common challenges companies face in combating plastic waste, and how to overcome them; and
Opportunities for businesses to drive innovation and change in the way they handle plastics after first use.

This one hour session will bring together leaders from creative agencies, consultancies and businesses from different sectors on how to engage different audiences from consumers to investors around climate action, how to avoid greenwashing and how to effectively communicate your own business' journey towards Net Zero.

United Kingdom: How to Measure your Digital Carbon Footprint

Participe AQUI // Take part HE...

Every time we visit a website, send an email, or use social media - a small amount of carbon dioxide is being emitted. This is your digital carbon footprint. While one person’s digital carbon footprint may be quite small, the collective amount of the world’s digital usage is monstrous - and increasingly worrying - collectively the digital world accounts for approximately 3% of the global greenhouse emissions - more than the global aviation industry!

Join us for this event, co-hosted with Business Declares and Wholegrain Digital to understand what your digital footprint as a business is, why it matters and how you can take action.

What you will learn:

How to measure and reduce the digital carbon emissions of your business.
Best practice examples from across the B Corp community.

Australia & New Zealand: Set the Date: Planning for Net Zero

With the urgency of the climate crisis, B Lab has challenged its community to take action, and 80 ANZ organisations have committed to hitting Net Zero by 2025. The question is, now what?

Whether your business has committed or is yet to, we must understand the steps involved in reaching net zero, and how to do so effectively. Join our discussion around the importance of net zero, and why B Lab believe this is a critical action for businesses to champion. If you have not already, we will also show you how can join the businesses championing climate action and commit to Net Zero by 2025 with us.

We will then dive into how your business can act, learning about effective emission reduction, and how to avoid greenwashing, with the help of key case studies. This webinar will challenge leaders to reflect on their own action plan, and consider the best opportunities available to reach net zero. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your ideas through our 'speed dating' breakout rooms.

This event is an initiative of the B Corp Climate Collective - Business Emissions Reduction Working Group - whose purpose is to advance ambitious business action towards a safe climate, and brought to you by People With Purpose - a Certified B Corp - whose purpose is to equip business to improve the world.

The film will be made available to all conference delegates for 24hrs on 1st July.

To host your own screening, please complete this form: https://togetherfilms.org/2040-screenings/ Join the regeneration! https://whatsyour2040.com/

The 2040 journey began with award-winning director Damon Gameau (That Sugar Film). Motivated by concerns about the planet his 4-year-old daughter would inherit, Damon embarked on a global journey to meet innovators and changemakers in the areas of economics, technology, civil society, agriculture, education and sustainability. Drawing on their expertise, he sought to identify the best solutions, available to us now, that would help improve the health of our planet and the societies that operate within it. From marine permaculture to decentralised renewable energy projects, he discovered that people all over the world are taking matters into their own hands.

This journey is the central premise for the documentary ‘2040’, a story of hope that looks at the very real possibility that humanity could reverse global warming and improve the lives of every living thing in the process. It is a positive vision of what ‘could be’, instead of the dystopian future we are so often presented.

Africa: Investing in Today's Youth for a Sustainable Tomorrow

Currently, half of the world’s population is under the age of 30, with 90%of this age group living in emerging and developing economies and 50 percent unemployed or working and living in poverty. The aspirations and needs of young people, and their ability to meet their full potential, remain largely unmet due to stagnating economic growth and limited opportunities for advancement. Despite the odds being stacked against them, we know that when youth are empowered, development outcomes improve.
As the youth population continues to grow and make an impact, the business world is starting to see increased changes brought on by this target audience. Their energy, passion, and courage to challenge the status quo are needed to identify and address complex global problems, and their insights are worthy of attention and investment.
Today’s youth are demanding that companies practise good and ethical business that goes beyond lip service. They want businesses to be mindful of their impact on society and the environment. And while this snowballs, many major corporations are making some big changes to accommodate the needs of this revolutionary audience.
Businesses engaging with the youth have incredible potential to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, like climate change, at a grassroots level if they are given robust platforms to connect and act. We invite you to our Youth Session at the B Corp Climate Summit on July 1.
The session will focus on:

Role of youth in fighting climate change;
Integrating Youth, Business and Climate Change; and
Opportunities for youth and business fighting climate change.
