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.

Exciting news from the @UN acknowledging the work social enterprises & others undertake to improve lives & contribute to #SDGs.

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.
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

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 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.

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.”
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.
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.

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.

Stay tuned! lnkd.in/eJUCaGQZ
