their businesses more circular through
collaboration with other companies in their value

redesign the way that raw materials enter the

increase recycling at the other end. So, companies
need to work transparently with their suppliers,
as well as with fellow industry players, to
develop new technologies, and approaches. Of
course, companies need to be careful to avoid
infringing on anti-trust laws, but in most cases
new approaches are implemented in tandem with
legal teams, so this is not a risk.</SPAN></P>

that the leaders of today stay focused on bringing
the larger group of ‘not so fast movers, or a bit
of fence sitters’ with them by sharing results
with industry peers. There are many actions
companies can take. For example, new governance
systems can be embedded into boards, such as
aligning financial and remuneration targets with
climate action. Most important: anchor it in your
business and don’t see it as CSR, only.</SPAN></P>

ensure that sustainability is anchored at the
heart of the business. It should not only exist at
the extreme ends of the company. Sustainability

should be anchored at the core, anchored with core
competencies of companies.</SPAN></P>

style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Sustainability should
also be central to the way that companies make
money. Leaders should integrate financial economic
success with doing good for the world. By doing
so, companies futureproof themselves. So, leaders
need to align the vision with the organisation,
explain it, and bring the whole organisation
alone. It takes a lot of effort, but once it is
set it is long lasting. In other words: doing well
(financially/economically) by doing good (for the
world).”</SPAN></P>

people. But by the same token, many regions, such
as Africa and South Asia, are already facing the
effects of climate change, and can’t provide their
own food supply anymore - and so, there is a major
impetus to accelerate action in emerging and

target=_blank>Breakthrough Agenda report</A>,
which calls for strong and targeted international
collaboration in high emissions sectors, such as
power, transport, industry, buildings and
agriculture, to deliver faster, smoother and
cheaper transitions for all. </P>

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0px"
align=justify>The latest report’s recommendations
span financial assistance, research and
development, demand-creation, infrastructure,
standards and trade, to accelerate the transition
in key hard-to-abate sectors. Coordinated action
in each of the sectors will help to mobilise
investment, and create the economies of scale
required to bring down the price of crucial
technologies and sustainable agriculture
solutions.</P>

new sectors – Buildings and Cement were added in

progress in international cooperation across

been made in strengthening international
collaboration in the last year, for example in
expanding financial assistance to developing
countries, and in joint research and development
initiatives. However, much more progress is needed
in ‘harder’ areas, such as aligning standards
and policies to create demand for clean
technologies, and to establish crucial dialogue on
trade in sectors. </P>
