One of the topics to add to our daily stand up is to prioritize market activities that we can leverage by having our impact chain POV

• The Apple video was one example - See my suggestion at https://bit.ly/Challenge_Solution 

• Climate week this week is another: https://www.climateweeknyc.org/

I am in NYC to meet with www.Gildan.com  who has an event for their Retailer Partners

I am also meeting with other Partners: https://www.climateweeknyc.org/sponsors-and-partners

Such as  https://www.organicvalley.coop/ 

See their participation: https://www.climateweeknyc.org/sponsors-partners/organic-valley 

Their "Cooperative" is a relevant structure for Impact Chain to be uniquely relevant

HERE IS ANOTHER BIG ONE that provides us an opportunity to share our POV and position Impact Chain as thoughtful, wise, confident LEADERS:

"ESG has lost its meaning. One advocate says let’s throw it in the trash"

EXCERPT:

What comes next: Regulatory agencies and governments need to reinforce environmental measurement requirements and objectives. “We need to regulate climate disclosure and create metrics that are verifiable and standardized, and available to investors and to consumers,” said Rothschild.

Others agree that rules and reporting need to be more closely regulated.

Current metrics are vague and don’t have specific measurement systems attached to them, Jenkins told CNN. He hopes that “more focused, thematic metrics can enable investors to target specific impact areas and have a better assurance that their money is actually going to benefit the desired outcome.”

The good news = 70% are worried

The bad news = There is no single corrborated path to solving the climate crisis

The Real Prof. Katharine Hayhoe (@KHayhoe) posted at 11:37 AM on Thu, May 04, 2023:

On climate change, we often assume people are either believers or deniers.

I don't like either label, because climate change is not a religion.

Instead, I prefer the 6 categories identified by @YaleClimateComm for the US.

California Bill - OPPORTUNITY - Copper Team Conversation ... please - Sent March 2023

Here is an updated version of my email to Sunil, Ram, Rakesh …to get thoughts about the MOST strategic prospects

I have made several connections with potential sales prospects as I try to focus on specific types of more "strategic prospects" where we can demonstrate how we were (literally) instrumental to helping them. My goal is to build a pipeline of qualified prospects and predictable sales... by understanding the market needs that match our promises.

Per the NPR story about the Bill in California, this is the comment to consider, "... 5000 companies forced to comply."

Is this (one of) the best situations to look for worried sales prospects? Which of these 5000 should we be talking to? What is the timing for their fear and our process?

As we prioritize Governance "situations" around the world with the; closest timeline, weight of punishment, urgency, compatibility with our capabilities, and match with our mission...

1. Which situation should be our priorities?

   1. Which authorities have the most muscle and teeth where we will we see non-compliance lead to fines and other discipline?

   2. Which can we point to that position OUR SOLUTIONS as the ideal method to prevent such pain?

2. What are the (most) important promises that we can make?

   1. Prevent x$ in fines

   2. Increase sales x% 

   3. Save xTime with new efficiencies

3. What can we offer that will inspire them to take a FIRST MEETING with us?

   1. See below “SUMMARY Intro 1”

   2. Not sales... Insights from our conversations with their peers

      1. Example: Our POV on options like Carbon Offsetting

   3. Their "Roadmap" of options with timing and requirements

   4. Invitation to affect the functions of our platform for their priorities

   5. ?

A few more thoughts:

The right clients will be our Partners that share benchmark data and WANT to brag about these shifts. This is rare but valuable. 

A cultural mind-set match is also key. There is power and promotion when they have a planet-conscious (often younger) customer base.

Let's get out the imaginary "crystal ball" and imagine our plan...

Years ago I did a project with Jeff Bezos and Harvard where he had us write a press release several months in advance... with all the details and participants... that we could follow like a road map.

Here is a list of Organizations focused on sustainability that include CSOs, CTOs, and CMOs ... add CHO for Human Resources... People decide what to do!

This Doc - https://bit.ly/Assoc_CSO_CTO_CMO 

Lawmakers in the European Parliament voted 544-18 to approve the adoption of new proposed rules requiring companies to substantiate and verify their environmental claims and labels, aimed at protecting consumers from greenwashing. The new rules form Parliament’s negotiating position on the EU Commission’s proposed “Directive on Green Claims” released in March 2023.

SOCIAL ACTION...where I used #ImpactChain in my Comments

  Awareness can grow by targeted “Social Networking” directly with prospects on Linkedin

One example is to accurately comment on their relevant posts as I build my reputation with them

         Such as; This example to an Australian Gov consultant

And this one to Grey Lee comparing 8 ESG reporting frameworks (Thoughts?)

And my recent post with a subtle mention

Dr. Ram’s 1-on-1 meeting invitations will be helpful. Rakesh asked me to deliver the final copy and layout

So he can share with our developer (which I wish that I could work directly with to save Rakesh’s time)
