Scrolling through your favorite social media app feels harmless. However, behind every like, share, and video stream is an enormous digital infrastructure consuming vast amounts of energy, raising ethical concerns, and influencing the social fabric of our world. Let’s break it down.
This Valentine’s Day, we’re spotlighting five companies that are setting the standard for sustainability in their wine and chocolate-making practices. From ethical sourcing and biodiverse farming practices, to actioning their core values in their communities, these brands create small indulgences that have a meaningful impact.
We have entered a new era in federal climate policy, one that can be at once frustrating and demotivating for sustainability professionals in the U.S. and around the world. There is a light, however, in the way states and cities across the U.S. are stepping up so stand firm on climate action.
As the intersection of technology and sustainability continues to evolve, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force. This is the first blog in a series exploring how cutting-edge technology is tackling some of the planet’s biggest challenges and transforming industries for a greener, more resilient future. To kick things off, we’re diving into agriculture—where AI is revolutionizing the way we grow our food and nurture our soils.
It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a decade since I started writing these annual sustainability book reviews. Welcome to 2025! The world is still spinning (for now), and the ESG, sustainability, and corporate responsibility universe is as dynamic as ever. Once again, I’ve assembled a reading list to keep you sharp, entertained, and maybe just a little bit outraged—let’s find that healthy grey area between existential dread and toxic optimism.

For many (including our Veerless team) the pink ribbons represent friends and loved ones affected by breast cancer, inspiring financial support of the cause.

At Veerless, we strongly believe a commitment to the planet and combating climate change means little without a data-driven strategy to prove a company’s commitment. As 2023 wrapped, we began our process to become Climate Neutral Certified. This certification is awarded by the Change Climate Project, which stands as a rigorous, independent standard for companies taking real, measurable steps towards reducing their carbon emissions to zero.
With the release of Veerless’ 2023 Impact Report, we are working to “walk our talk” as a thought leader in sustainability – for ourselves and our clients. Our inaugural report is more than a document – it’s a testament to living our values, a cornerstone of our identity in the ESG landscape.
As we wrote our first report, we were inspired by many other B Corp reports globally. Today, we’re highlighting our “5 Faves,” companies whose exceptional impact reports offer both inspiration and benchmarks for excellence. Click the titles and images below to view these impressive reports.
Sustainability reporting has become table stakes for most large companies. The International Federation of Accountants estimates nearly 98% of large companies globally reported on some ESG information in 2022. Estimates vary in the health care sector, but the consensus is that less than 50% of health care companies (and even less in hospital systems specifically) are reporting on any ESG or sustainability data.
