PR people, advise your brands to go beyond 'good deeds' in their corporate social responsibility. Corporate philanthropy. Charity work. Scholarship schemes. Building healthcare facilities. These are all good. But brands need to also embrace environmental sustainability. What actions are you taking to ensure your brand is environmentally responsible? We talk about 'care capitalism'. Have you considered the negative impact of your operations on the environment? #corporatesocialresponsibility isn't limited to corporate giving. You should have an environmental sustainability plan, especially if your company's operations clearly impact the environment. We all function in this environment, and we need to strike a balance between a healthy ecology and a healthy economy. And you, the PR specialist, need to provide that counsel to your Management. Environmental sustainability, if neglected over time, is a potential crisis source but has its image payoffs if you act right. #publicrelations #reputationmanagement #sustainability #environmentcare #csr

The European Parliament has voted to amend and postpone the EU Deforestation Regulation by one year, after some governments, companies and business associations pushed for delaying the rules ensuring products sold in the EU are not linked to deforestation. NGOs and spokespeople for the European Greens have criticised the decision, saying the delay undermines progress, and the amendment is a ‘step-backwards’, watering down the law. Additionally, more than 50 companies, including Patagonia, H&M Group and Ikea, publicly reaffirmed their support for the European Green Deal, warning against deregulation that could undermine climate action and environmental standards, and highlighting the value of unified EU-wide laws in fostering competitiveness and transparency.
