Sustainability isn't a side project; it's a core business imperative. The World Economic Forum gives a really great explanation of how embedding sustainability into strategy, rather than siloing it, drives true innovation and long-term value.
weforum.org
Sustainability needs to be embedded, not siloed. Here's why
Companies need to treat sustainability oversight in the same way as other business-critical topics and ensure it is properly designed into operations.

Is it really too much to ask to have even ONE Trump administration official go to prison for Bribery? Really? One of the only crimes enumerated in the Constitution, and we just don't enforce it? Even when we pay these people to serve us and they OPENLY serve themselves? Why are they not behind bars?

We're continuing to report on sports betting apps, and we need your help. ProPublica is looking for at least 250 people who use DraftKings and FanDuel to share their data with us and help us understand how the apps respond to user behavior. ➡️ How to help: projects.propublica.org/sports-betti...
A neon green tracker shows that ProPublica has received 28 people's sports betting data, just over 10% of the way towards its goal of 250. Text below reads: If you’re one of millions of Americans who have placed an online bet on a sporting event, you know how quickly you can go from celebrating your wins to feeling like the odds are stacked against you.

ProPublica is trying to understand how sports betting apps incentivize users to keep playing and when they warn users to pump the brakes. To do that, we need your help: We’re aiming for at least 250 people to upload their gambling history from apps like FanDuel and DraftKings. We’re not quite there yet, so if you’ve used these apps, you can help our journalists. If you’ve worked in the industry, you can also help us by answering a few questions. (You can also reach us on Signal.)
