WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development

Agri-food businesses must accelerate regenerative agriculture and sustainable land use to meet climate goals, protect ecosystems, and build resilient supply chains. Scaling impact requires alignment on outcomes - and robust, cost-effective ways to measure, report and verify progress. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀: companies are converging on shared outcomes and indicators. But the sector still urgently needs scalable, harmonized Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV) approaches to credibly track impact, guide decisions, unlock finance, and create certainty for businesses, investors and other stakeholders.

WBCSD is proud to support the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA)’s Build Clean Now campaign, a global campaign rallying governments, industry, and finance to accelerate progress – unlocking investment and huge opportunities that can benefit every country. Because out of a pipeline of 700 clean industrial projects, fewer than 15 secure financing each year, Build Clean Now aims to increase the pace at which these projects are financed and built, starting with a near-term ambition to reach 50 financed projects over 2025–2026. “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘶𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴.

Future-Proofing the Global Economy: Aligning Finance with Resilience At this year’s Building Bridges conference in Geneva, WBCSD hosted a conversation on physical risk and value chain resilience, exploring how finance, insurance, and corporates can work together to manage and price physical risk more effectively. WBCSD President and CEO Peter Bakker and Fiona Watson, Vice President of Corporate Performance and Accountability, joined business and finance leaders to discuss how aligning finance with resilience is critical to future-proofing the global economy. As Peter noted in the recent Devex feature: “𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺, 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺, 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘬, 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.” In our workshop, “Driving Action on Physical Risk in Value Chains,” participants examined how physical impacts are already damaging global value chains, while limited visibility and inconsistent methodologies are leading to inefficient pricing and inadequate risk management. Experts from the insurance and finance sectors explored pathways for effective risk transfer and prevention, including parametric insurance, resilience bonds, and stronger public–private cooperation. The key takeaway is resilience is not just a safeguard. It's a source of competitive advantage and long-term value creation.

At NYCW, along with our member Boston Consulting Group (BCG), our VP Corporate Accounting & Performance Fiona Watson, addressed the need for companies to better manage and respond to physical risk to drive resilience. Physical risk in supply chains remains a blind spot for many companies - even though this is where the biggest vulnerabilities lie. WBCSD’s new CEO Handbook helps leaders look beyond Tier 1 and address the hidden vulnerabilities undermining resilience.  Download the CEO Handbook Physical Risk and Resilience in Value Chains here: https://lnkd.in/eH3zKvWJ As we move into 2026, WBCSD will continue to support members on Physical Risk through our Corporate Performance & Accountability work, which remains open for companies to join.

The stakes are high; resources are limited and linear business models have no future – business needs a circular solution. The Global Circularity Protocol for business (GCP) empowers organizations – large and small – to reduce waste, drive measurable impact, and create value at every stage of the value chain. Ahead of the official launch of the GCP at COP30, #GCPvoices are sharing their authentic perspectives as the GCP is rolled out around the world. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦, 𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘴, 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘭 (𝘎𝘊𝘗) 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺.” Says Dr Nancy Bocken , Professor in Sustainable Business & Circular Economy, Maastricht University. “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘊𝘗 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.” The GCP has been developed by WBCSD and UNEP’s One Planet network - 10YFP with input from over 100 experts across more than 80 organizations, including leading businesses, policymakers, and scientific advisors worldwide. More than a framework, the GCP is your roadmap to resilient supply chains and credible, scalable circularity. Are you ready to lead the change?
