One of the biggest challenges for business leaders is understanding what happens across their supply chains, from human rights and labour conditions to environmental impacts.
It was a pleasure to meet with Raymond van Eck, CEO and Board Chair of @Fairphone , and the management team to learn how they are putting this into practice. Fairphone is working to address the impacts of mineral extraction, advance labour rights and decent work, and promote living wages across its supply chain.
Fairphone is showing what it looks like to put the Ten Principles and tools of the @globalcompact Compact into practice, understand Scope 3 impacts, and drive collective action on critical minerals. It is possible to understand your supply chain — and taking action is what moves progress forward.

The world may temporarily exceed 1.5°C. That makes climate action more urgent, not less.
Eleven years after the Paris Agreement, #COP31 must be about delivery. Ambition must become implementation.
And adaptation and resilience must now be treated as global political priorities, backed by outcomes that protect countries and communities on the frontlines.
