Topco Media is proud to announce Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) as a platinum partner for the Future of Sustainability Conference.
“COP27 saw countries reaffirming their commitment to limit a rise in global temperature to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, as well as cut greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. The conference brought together more than 45 000 participants to share ideas and solutions and build partnerships and coalitions to address climate change and its impact. “
“South Africa boasts a strong agricultural sector that accounts for at least 10% of the country’s export earnings. The sector has been steadily growing over the last few years, but now economists fear this growth is starting to slow due to rising costs and transport challenges.
Finding alternative transport options could not only offer the sector the support it needs for continued growth, but it could also have the added benefit of reducing carbon emissions.”
“Organisations are becoming more socially and environmentally conscious, and you can see it from the top down. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange recently delivered draft climate and sustainability disclosure guidelines,. South Africa’s own ESG disclosure rate (for rating purposes) has been lauded by The Responsible Investment and Ownership Guide. So yes, ESG is here to stay.”
