The Commodity Crunch: Value at Risk from DeforestationSustainable Brands
This document summarizes CDP's 2013 forests report, which collected information from companies on risks and opportunities related to deforestation. Key findings include:
- 139 companies disclosed, with over $3 trillion in market capitalization, a 39% increase from 2012.
- Demand for commodities like beef, soy, and palm oil is a primary driver of deforestation.
- Companies dependent on these forest risk commodities are exposed to regulatory, reputational, and operational risks from deforestation.
- Disclosing companies improved their scores by an average of 27% compared to 2012, showing better understanding of risks and actions to reduce deforestation impacts.
This document summarizes a design residency project focused on reducing bulky waste, such as furniture, ending up in landfill. Each year in the UK, 1.6 million tonnes of bulky waste is thrown out, with 42% being furniture. Currently, re-use rates for items like sofas are only around 17%. The residency brought together designers, waste managers, and other stakeholders to explore how to increase re-use rates and reduce bulky waste ending up in landfill. Over 10 days, the designers investigated materials streams and systems through visits to waste facilities and a teardown of a discarded sofa. Their insights informed recommendations for designers, manufacturers, waste managers, policymakers, and local authorities to better support

- The document discusses managing sustainability data for businesses, which has become complex due to data from various sources. It provides an overview of sustainability reporting trends and drivers for tracking this data.
- Key challenges with using spreadsheets are discussed, such as reconciliation between years and generating real-time reports. Enterprise software is presented as an alternative, with features like automatic reporting and data validation.
- Case studies are presented on how companies like Stonyfield Farms and Seventh Generation developed sustainability metrics and programs to track performance and identify areas for improvement. Developing a business case for automation is recommended to gain management approval.

This document summarizes key findings from Prophet's 2010 corporate reputation study. It finds that companies with strong reputations see higher stock prices and sales. The study measures the reputations of 145 large companies across 18 industries. It identifies the top drivers of reputation as products, personal relevance, and leadership. The importance of social and environmental responsibility, or "purpose", is growing for reputation. Industries like chemicals and oil/gas now see these purpose attributes as more important to reputation.
Our lives are composed of stories from our past that shape our mindset and future. While classic stories teach lessons like "slow and steady wins the race," modern times require being both fast and steady to succeed in life's race. Creative geniuses distinguish themselves by changing established stories and leaping forward continuously, keeping them ahead of the competition.
