Oil and gas producing companies are failing to report accurate figures for their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

As the Paris Agreementʼs goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C slips further and further out of reach, one might imagine that there would be increasingly urgent calls from the media and from politicians to accelerate progress towards reducing emissions and achieving net zero by 2050. Instead, Trumpʼs leaving the Paris Agreement on his first day in office was obscured by countless other executive orders, and last month Kemi Badenoch was able to abandon net zero by 2050 as an official Tory party policy with little backlash.
Key figures within the EU Plastic Recycling Industry and others have joined forces to raise alarm over the European Commission’s draft Clean Industrial State Aid Framework, citing a critical lack of support for circularity measures. The broad coalition of circular economy stakeholders, led by waste-sorting technology provider TOMRA, today calls on the European Commission to integrate provisions that support circularity measures under the draft Clean Industrial State Aid Framework (CISAF). Despite being recognised as one of the four pillars of the Clean Industrial Deal, circularity is notably absent from the CISAF’s core provisions.

The EU’s Omnibus Proposals aim to amend its sustainability framework – notably the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). However, rather than clarifying uncertainties and harmonising laws as intended, in practice, the debate over the impact of the Proposals has introduced further confusion. In this article we discuss why, whatever the future of the Omnibus Proposals - companies operating in the EU and the UK should not ease up on ESG compliance programmes.
On the shores of Bali, local fishermen used to pull in their daily catch only to find their nets tangled with plastic waste. What was once a pristine marine ecosystem had become a dumping ground for pollution. This growing crisis spurred the creation of startups like Seven Clean Seas, which set out to remove plastic from oceans and build a sustainable future. Across Southeast Asia, similar green startups are emerging, driven by the urgent need to tackle environmental challenges. With strong government backing, increasing investor interest and a market eager for sustainable solutions, these businesses are reshaping industries and pushing…
