The oft-quoted argument that ‘it is only by recruiting the biggest companies before they have truly improved their practices and help them along the path that we will create change’ has been wielded for years by those trying to justify why they are accepting money from dubious sources, and has yet to be proven.

In November 2021, 60% of the FTSE100 had pledged to eliminate their contribution to carbon emissions by 2050. This figure has since increased to over 80%.

Is the annual COP conference driving the change we need? COP always generates plenty of headlines - and this year’s in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, was no different. But are these conferences really driving change? Headlines are great, but action is what we need.

With COP 27 underway, it's time for the annual spike in conversation about sustainability. While it's good that attention is focused on such matters, it has obviously moved past discussion. It is now a situation that requires governments and businesses to take tangible action rather than talk.
