Melbourne Zoo uses coffee grounds and animal waste to make compost

Every shipment tells a story, and for us, it plants a seed too  🌱 With our “One Tree for Every Pallet” initiative, each pallet we ship supports reforestation projects around the world. We’ve been proudly working with Up2You for years to reduce the environmental impact of our supply chain, because sustainability isn’t a campaign, it’s a commitment. 📦 It’s a small action with a big impact: less CO₂, more biodiversity, and a supply chain that gives back to the planet. Because exporting quality also means thinking long-term, for people and for the environment. 🌍 Track our trees and learn more here: plant.u2y.io/brands/349

Sustainability is a core foundation of how we operate. At BY.ARTISANS, every detail is designed with intention from the ground up: Local sourcing - We prioritise Australian-grown botanicals wherever possible. That includes foraging, working with local producers, and reducing our transport footprint. Closed loop - We repurpose botanicals like eucalyptus leaves from koala feedouts, spent coffee grounds, and fruit waste. After distillation, all organic material is returned to the earth through composting. Efficient still design - Our hybrid column still uses continuous vapour distillation and recycles energy through heat integration. This is one of the smallest continuous stills in Australia, translating to 10x efficiency over traditional stills. For businesses focused on reducing their environmental impact, we create products with purpose and stories that align with modern values.

Many thanks to the Global Biodata Coalition for the invitation to share Addgene’s experience and lessons in sustaining biodata. Funding is necessary — but not sufficient — for biodata sustainability. Sustainable data ecosystems are built by pairing investment with the right services, access models, and technological innovations to meet real-world needs. • Sustainability grows when biodata underpins tools and services that people value and rely on. • Community-driven value creation is key: the full potential of biodata emerges when the community can access, contribute and reuse biodata. • Access models and legal frameworks should not only support long-term stewardship but protect the integrity of biodata collections while ensuring access—and value—for users. • Infrastructure that leverages emerging technology should not only scale reach and quality but do so responsibly and in the best interests of the community it serves. This is a timely and enormous opportunity for biorepositories, funders, research service providers, academic institutions, governments and private organizations to align on practical pathways that keep biodata useful — and usable — now and into the future to maximize benefits for everyone. #DataSustainability #OpenScience #FAIRData #DataGovernance #ResearchInfrastructure #DataStewardship #ResponsibleAI #LifeSciences #PublicInterest

The uncertainty surrounding US federal funding, the emergence of unethical AI solutions, and the ever-growing volume of biological data are piling pressure on core biodata resources worldwide 🌎. Just as the lights go on, there is a risk of taking such infrastructure for granted and forgetting its absolute contribution to powering the scientific endeavour. After all, intellectual progress can only be understood in the light of discoveries that have come before, and such resources ensure the continuity of scientific advancement 💡. Last week in Montreal 🇨🇦, I joined the Global Biodata Coalition Sustainability Lab to explore various strategies for addressing current funding challenges while preserving the fundamental principles of #opendata. Thanks, Guy Cochrane and team, for the invitation to join the Lab and share our experience with the Open Targets public-private model

What is the Sustainability, that we should seek? I have been reflecting deeply on food and its many intersections, and I wonder if the true sustainability we seek lies not only in specificity but in resisting commodification and instead turning toward the forgotten or underutilized ingredients that are native or adopted within certain regions. These ingredients thrive with little or no negative impact on the environment. For food to be truly sustainable, it must be familiar to its people, rooted in their cultural identity and everyday lives; it must also be familiar to the climate it inhabits, able to adapt naturally without forcing ecosystems to bend; and above all, it must be accessible, not just available to a privileged few. Without these three compasses of cultural familiarity, ecological fit, and social access, sustainability risks becoming abstract and disconnected. Imagine offering a Yoruba man pounded potatoes instead of pounded yams: he may eat it once out of necessity, but he will not return to it, because it does not resonate with his sense of food identity. In this way, many global agendas on sustainable food overlook the simple truth that people will not embrace what does not feel like theirs, no matter how green or innovative it may be.

Launching our new sustainability platform: Forest Positive Policy, Regenesis. On behalf of the APP Board, I am honored to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to this initiative Regenesis. Regenesis is about deepening and broadening the impact of our previous efforts. It encompasses three vital pillars: forests, people, and the value chain. - In forests, we are embracing a landscape approach—one that seeks to maintain and increase biodiversity and the life sustained by the ecosystems where we operate. - For people, we are implementing a more structured approach, making sure we achieve lasting and measurable improvements in the lives of all those touched by our operations. - And across our value chain, we’ve focused on ways in which we can bring our suppliers and customers on the journey and engage them in working with us to leave a positive legacy for future generations. Beyond our forest positive policy, we are already making progress in our sustainability journey. One of the most notable achievements is at our OKI mill, which now operates on 98% renewable energy. Our vertically integrated model can take advantage of these efficiencies and is one of the reasons why we are unique in the industry. This achievement reflects the kind of progress that’s only possible through shared commitment and collaboration. We deeply value your partnership. Together, we are not just imagining a better future, we are building it. To our partners, I hope you will join us on our journey to make Regenesis a success for people and planet. https://lnkd.in/etdg7buS

🌱 Beyond Sustainability: The Rise of Regenerative Business For years, we’ve spoken about “sustainability” as the end goal—cutting waste, reducing emissions, improving efficiency. But leading companies are now asking a bigger question: 👉 What if business could leave the world better than it found it? That’s the essence of regeneration. It’s not just less harm—it’s active healing. ✨ 4 inspiring shifts happening now: 1️⃣ From net-zero to climate-positive • Interface Carpets developed carbon-negative tiles, proving even high-emission industries can reverse their footprint. • Microsoft is going beyond neutrality, pledging to remove all historical emissions since its founding. 2️⃣ From sustainable supply chains to regenerative agriculture • Danone partners with 50,000+ farmers to rebuild soil health, capture carbon, and improve yields. • Healthy soils = resilient food systems + lower Scope 3 emissions. 3️⃣ From corporate responsibility to corporate reimagining • Patagonia transferred ownership to a trust that ensures 100% of profits go to nature protection. • It’s not philanthropy—it’s a business model aligned with purpose. 4️⃣ From compliance metrics to ecosystems of value • Regeneration is becoming a magnet for capital: green bonds, sustainability-linked loans, and investor funds are flowing to companies that restore biodiversity, water, and communities—not just cut carbon. 💡 The big shift: Sustainability asks: “How do we do less harm?” Regeneration asks: “How do we restore and improve?” 📊 What businesses can start today: • Pilot regenerative practices in one supply chain (soil, water, forests). • Assign measurable restoration KPIs (hectares restored, water replenished, tCO₂e removed). • Partner with NGOs or local communities to embed impact at scale. 🌍 The future winners won’t just be the companies with the lowest footprint. They’ll be the ones that give more than they take. 👉 What’s the one area your business could regenerate today—soil, water, biodiversity, or community? #RegenerativeBusiness #Sustainability #ClimatePositive #CircularEconomy #Leadership
