Insightful piece in @esg_investor by @Vibeka Mair on #universalowners waking up to #systemicrisks but forgoing short-term gains for long-term stability is far from easy. @TAInstitute_, @universal_owner esginvestor.net/a-new-system-f…

The resolution, Promoting the Social & Solidarity Economy for Sustain. Dev., “offers the tools to confront the great challenges that humanity faces – the reduction of #inequalities & protection of the environment” & will increase the visibility of the social & solidarity economy.

Exciting news from the @UN acknowledging the work social enterprises & others undertake to improve lives & contribute to #SDGs. pioneerspost.com/news-views/202…

2/2 The report identifies 10 key actions that businesses can take to advance #Equality, which include: 1. Implement the UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights 2. Make essential products & services more accessible & affordable 3. Pay & promote #livingwages & incomes

1/2 Inequality is a systemic risk that hurts both society & economy. Last week, @BCTI_WBCSD, powered by @wbcsd, launched its flagship report, unveiling the critical role of the private sector in tackling the #systemicrisk of inequality. #tacklinginequality tacklinginequality.org/flagship-repor…

2/2 “Those looking to fight the inequality crisis are struck by the fact that the people who are affected the most are not considered part of the solutions proposed by political leaders… People want to come up w/ their own solutions & build a new economic system in the process.”

1/2 Nothing about us without us! @jenny_ricks from the @FightInequality argues for the need for systemic change in addressing #inequality in her latest piece in Al Jazeera. www-aljazeera-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.aljaze…

3/3 Companies that want to export technologies that have dual use should, however, implement human rights #duediligence as part of their business strategy to address any #financialrisk that may arise as a result.

2/3 The Export Controls and Human Rights Initiative Code of Conduct released at the #SummitForDemocracy will “apply export control tools to prevent the proliferation of goods, software, and technologies that enable serious human rights abuses.”

1/3 Important development on protecting #humanrights 👇 state.gov/export-control…

Persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to rising #inequality. In this piece for @Reuters, @DavidGrayson_ asks why #disability is left out of #ESG conversation at sustainable business conferences around the world. reuters.com/business/susta…

Interesting interaction between the #Covid19 pandemic and #inequality - in 2022, 21.3% of persons w/ a disability were employed, up from 19.1% in 2021; 30% of workers w/ a disability were employed part-time, compared w/ 16% for those with no disability. axios.com/2023/02/24/emp…
