A Call for Smart EU Sustainability Implementation, Not U-Turns 🚀 With Europe’s sustainability transition at a crossroads, now is not the time to back out. Over 90 organizations—spanning civil society, business, banks, and investors—have joined forces to respond publicly to President von der Leyen’s to the recent #omnibus proposal announcement. As advocates for transparency and accountability, we at B Lab, alongside these 90+ organizations, have a clear message: sustainability reporting isn’t a burden. It’s a chance to drive long-term growth, attract financing, and foster resilience across the European #economy. At a moment where European leaders are seeking to boost competitiveness and attract major financing to support companies’ sustainability transition, the EU sustainability #reporting framework plays a key role in protecting the #EU market and levelling the playing field with global players. The statement signatories call on European and national policymakers to focus on supporting a smart and easy implementation of EU sustainability reporting #standards, instead of playing ping-pong with the legal framework. 👉 Read more here: https://bit.ly/3DcFkRL Responsible Companies, Frank Bold, WWF European Policy Office, ShareAction, Fairtrade International, World Benchmarking Alliance, Ecopreneur.eu - The European Sustainable Business Federation, B Lab
