By Liz Peters This holiday season, it’s not a hit movie ticket or must-have toy you should be concerned with getting your hands on: it’s a pass to IWBI’s SocialSustainability Summit in New York City. On December 13, this groundbreaking, full-day event will be solely dedicated to driving the future of socialsustainability.
But issuance of social, sustainability and sustainability-linked bonds—which reference specific key performance indicators, or KPIs—grew fastest (Display). That’s hardly surprising because, third, companies are facing increasing investor scrutiny about their sustainability goals and continuous pressure to raise their game.
In short, more sustainable snacking is an immense and important task – one we are embracing holistically and wholeheartedly, to drive ever-greater long-term positive impact for people and the planet. Indeed, our ingredient sourcing programs are where most of the work of our carbon emissions reductions and socialsustainability efforts live.
As part of our continued commitment to the future and in line with our strategic ambition to lead the sustainability transformation, we have taken a holistic approach across five interconnected areas where we can contribute the most: food systems, circularity, climate, nature, and socialsustainability.
As a global snacking leader dedicated to making snacking right, we are determined to lead in helping to drive sector-wide transformation for more sustainable sourcing at scale. Additionally, we continued to achieve 100% Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certified palm oil sourcing in 2022.

Moreover, technology must be anchored in society to be sociallysustainable, meaning that the use of resources is well motivated and explained. 6G for sustainability 6G networks should contribute to an overall sustainable development in society by enabling the transformation of other sectors than just ICT.
Since then, heatwaves across the northern hemisphere, gathering energy and food security crises, and climate policy actions across the globe, notably in the US , have raised new questions about the path to a netzero economy – alongside concerns about the impact of inflation, disruption and transition on existing economic and social inequities.
The science should guide the measurement of sustainable business – particularly when it comes to climate goals. Are all those netzero commitments really ambitious enough?
