The Uplift Agency reposted this
My youngest daughter excitedly told me, “Mom, I made a work laptop, a notebook, and I’m talking to three clients.” It was a heartwarming moment as she emulated my work at The Uplift Agency. This experience reminded me that our children observe how we navigate challenges, handle stress, celebrate victories, and achieve success in our professional lives. They keenly pay attention to our response to adversity, our attitudes, dedication, and the delicate balance we strike between work and home life. With many people working remotely now, our children have the opportunity to observe us more than ever. I wonder how it will influence their own relationship with work. I hope my children observe that I love what I do and who I work with, that I’m motivated by a higher purpose to drive sustainable and responsible business transformation, and that though my company is my fourth child - they will always come first. #responsiblebusiness #workingparent #sustainablebusiness #sustainability #CSR #priorities

The sustainability conversation is heating up. Consumers and stakeholders expect more, with 73% of U.S. adults believing corporations should do more to combat climate change. In response, companies are setting bold goals – 1/3 of the world's largest have net-zero targets. But here's the problem: Fewer than 10% have a plan to get there. Combine this with stricter regulations like California's Climate Accountability Package and a surge in climate litigation (over 2,300 cases as of May 2023!), and we have a pressure cooker situation happening to companies. 🌿 Rising expectations 🌿 Premature claims 🌿 Increased scrutiny The result? Communicators, lawyers, and sustainability professionals are navigating a complex landscape with significant risks. Is your company prepared? Uplift can help you navigate this greenwashing pressure cooker and build a genuine sustainability strategy with clear communication and achievable goals.

Uplift propelled a global manufacturer towards ESG leadership through a comprehensive analysis. We assessed their existing initiatives, pinpointed critical environmental and social factors, and developed a comprehensive strategy, targets, and three-year implementation plan to improve the client’s performance in key areas such as #GreenhouseGas emissions, product and packaging design, #wastereduction and #humanrights due diligence in their supply chain. The #Impact: This collaborative effort yielded a powerful ESG strategy and action plan, including a rigorous human rights due diligence process for their supply chain and robust data collection for emissions tracking.
