"Companies should understand and manage their contribution to deforestation. Responsible for up to 20% of global carbon emissions, deforestation is becoming a vital public policy issue. Companies should be ready for future legislation and ensure the sustainability of their supply chains. Furthermore companies who do not manage their deforestation impact appropriately face increasing reputational and ’licence to operate’ risks given growing public awareness of the issue. Highlighted areas are: forestry, cattle, agriculture (particularly palm oil) and biofuels."

"Advancing gender equality in company leadership and throughout organisations remains critically important therefore, with many companies around the world still falling far short of equal representation. We encourage companies to critically and deeply assess where they are falling short and to set specific targets to address this. They should go beyond simply increasing overall representation, towards understanding how they can create more inclusive cultures to attract, and more importantly retain, develop and promote female talent."

"Advancing gender equality in company leadership and throughout organisations remains critically important therefore, with many companies around the world still falling far short of equal representation. We encourage companies to critically and deeply assess where they are falling short and to set specific targets to address this. They should go beyond simply increasing overall representation, towards understanding how they can create more inclusive cultures to attract, and more importantly retain, develop and promote female talent."
