Brightest

Há algumas semanas tive a oportunidade de ter minhas primeiras interações com Nina Benoit, uma especialista com rica jornada acadêmica e profissional, a nível internacional, na área de sustentabilidade. Hoje é diretora de sustentabilidade da Brightest, uma empresa que oferece um software de monitoramento como emissão de GEE, bem como de produção de relatórios ESG, que permite que seus clientes tomem decisões bem informadas no que diz respeito a alocação de recursos e mitigação de externalidades. Além disso, a colega de transição energética é também muito dedicada a produzir conteúdos que gerem conscientização e reflexão sobre os temas em que atua. Nina Benoit, foi uma satisfação contar com sua contribuição para essa série de diálogos com especialistas. Espero que possamos eventualmente cooperar em projetos. Conte comigo!

What are the top reporting standards? 🤔 Navigating all the reporting standards can be confusing at times and it can be tricky to keep up with all the abbreviations used for each standard. So here is an overview of the top sustainability reporting standards you should know about 🍃 1️⃣ The European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) are specific criteria for ESG reporting, developed to support the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These standards aim to enhance transparency and comparability of non-financial disclosures across European companies. 2️⃣ The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) operates as an autonomous entity for establishing standards under the umbrella of the IFRS Foundation (International Financial Reporting Standards) to improve the communication between investors and companies. 3️⃣ The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) offers a comprehensive framework for companies to report on their economic, environmental, and social impacts. The newest GRI Standards provide three sets (economic, environmental, and social) of 34 topic-specific standards. Follow for more sustainability updates and insights 💡 #sustainability #esg #climate

🌱 What is Regenerative Agriculture? 🌍 Regenerative agriculture focuses on rebuilding soil health, increasing biodiversity, and reducing carbon emissions 🌾 Key practices include: 🌿 Keep Soil Covered: By keeping the soil covered with plants or organic matter year-round, we protect it from erosion, retain moisture, and enhance its fertility. 🌱 Maintain Living Roots: Keeping living roots in the soil throughout the year helps promotes microbial activity and continuously feeds the soil. 🚜 Minimize Soil Disturbance: Reducing tilling and other soil-disturbing activities helps maintain the natural structure and health of the soil. 🌽 Maximize Crop Diversity: Diverse crops leads to more biodiversity as well as better pest control, more resilient crops, and a lower need for pesticides. 🐄 Integrate Livestock: Incorporating livestock into farming practices, such as through rotational grazing reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. Together, these practices create a resilient and sustainable food system 🌍💚 Credit: VectorMine - Moore UniDrill #Biodiversity #Climate #Sustainability #Agriculture
