I can tell you that I genuinely love tarpon fishing, and it is my passion for wild fish and wild places that made me realize that I have a responsibility to give back, and ultimately inspired me to launch Emerger Strategies. My company gives back as a 1% for the Planet member, volunteering our time with nonprofits like The Sustainability Institute and helping other organizations measure & improve their #sustainability performance. If you are a business owner who is also a passionate angler, you may not realize that your company may be harming the very sport that you love. That’s why I created a free Simple Sustainability Assessment. In less than 2 minutes, you can get up to 10 action items to begin your company’s sustainability journey!

I was talking to my buddy yesterday—he’s co-commissioner in my fantasy baseball league with me, so yes, a real person here. Not a typical made up friend for LinkedIn purposes. Anyway, he asked if I was still working with nonprofits doing environmental work. I told him most of the work I do is for for-profit companies. But it occurred to me, how many people hear about sustainability or solutions for climate change or biodiversity loss or deforestation and think that it’s only the work of nonprofits like WWF? In a way it makes sense because so often the conversation turns towards the price of these solutions. So if they’re not profitable, then it only makes sense to some people that money-making businesses wouldn’t be involved. But if you work in this area, you’ve seen the studies that show reusable items save money. That brands trying to do things more sustainably (or even working towards circularity) are positioning themselves for customers now and in the future. That single-use plastic limitations and fines are only getting stronger. You see this stuff. But most people don’t. It’s a perception problem—one that still needs a lot of work. So anyway, if you want help changing this perception, let’s talk. Because nonprofits aren’t the only ones trying to clean up our home these days.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the 'Green' buzzwords and changing opinions around #ESG? Let's simplify it. I believe every company can integrate #sustainability by focusing on direct, measurable impact. At Lemonade, we've been committed to making a positive difference for the environment since Day 1. My #sustainability strategy is focused around four key pillars: donations, carbon reduction, eco-friendly products, and our B Lab certification. Here's how it works: 💧 The Lemonade #giveback has donated $2.3M to environmental causes, supporting projects like clean water initiatives, tree planting, ocean conservation, beach cleanups, and more. 💧 I work directly with 14 climate organizations across four countries to ensure transparency and accountability for every $ donated. 💧 Lemonade was the first US insurer to forswear investment in #coal and #fossilfuels. 💧 Our environmentally friendly car insurance is built around planting #trees based on policyholders' driving habits, to reduce carbon emissions. To date, Lemonade has planted over 300,000 trees. 💧Don't be afraid to ask for help. I reached out to Noel Kinder, London L., K. Corley Kenna and other #sustainability experts to help craft my strategy. They ran sessions for myself, Yael Wissner-Levy, Tim Bixby, and other key stakeholders from the Lemonade team. 💧 Experimented with Edo Perry's amazing new platform, Elements World, to incentivize and educate our employees about sustainability efforts. 💧 We've joined the #bcorp Net Zero coalition, standing shoulder to shoulder with companies striving for net-zero emissions. Our commitment involves adopting science-based targets for emission reduction and using Earthly's data tracking to monitor our environmental impact. 💧 We've implemented employee travel restrictions, adhere to Green Building Standards, and choose eco-friendly vendors. 💧 Plus, our #bcorporation certification underscores our legal commitment to environmental responsibility, with a thorough assessment every three years. If you want to join us on this journey towards a sustainable future for all for-profits, my DM's are always open for questions!

What's the point of talking publicly about sustainability? 🤷 It's not a rhetorical question, though I sometimes think people don't believe it's worth answering. 🤦 There are plenty of real answers. One of the best is: to inspire more action. And if you want to do that, you're best off speaking to people in a way that resonates with them. Everyday language. Great stories. Specific, tangible stuff they can get to grips with. You know the kind of thing. If this is part of your role - or you want it to be - then why not join more than 250 other people who've signed up for our online breakfast event next week. 🤔 Join us on Wednesday 13th March as we discuss all things climate comms with a panel of guest speakers who walk the walk every day: - Sam Sutaria, WaterBear CEO - David Hayman, Campaign Director at Make My Money Matter - Rosie Gordon Lennox, Head of Brand at Hubbub ➡️ Link to sign up: https://lnkd.in/ekhWJzxm ++ P.S.
