Economy

Corporate responsibility. Sustainability reporting and disclosure. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Environmental, social and governance (ESG). There are a lot of common terms in the sustainable business space, with a lot of mixed opinions hitting the headlines when it comes to sustainability and equity in the economy. But what do they all mean? What do they look like in practice? And what approaches are actually promoting positive change? TriplePundit brings a fresh take on solutions journalism to the sustainable business space, with an eye toward the emerging solutions that take a unique, impactful approach to corporate citizenship and a purpose beyond profit.

Keeping up with these important economic topics doesn't need to leave you feeling confused, angry or hopeless. Understanding the necessary context for economic problems without dwelling on them, and learning about the steps people are taking to solve them, allows us to find manageable ways to engage with the issue head on.

A renewed focus on social and racial equity, new philanthropy models that get funds where they're needed most, changing regulatory and reporting landscapes that push business to go further, and the rise of new-economy concepts like stakeholder capitalism and degrowth prove economic problems are not insurmountable — and there's no single way to solve them. The sooner we delve into new solutions, what's working and what isn't, the closer we step toward the change we want to see.
