EVIDENCE-BASED GOOD NEWS FOR YA

A new report shows that a bunch of renewable energy companies have massively improved their human rights record. This is good! And important!

@reneweconomy.com.au @business-humanrights.org

reneweconomy.com.au/renewable-co...
It is something that must be addressed for the energy transition to be sustained at a high pace over the coming decades. The 2025 edition, released on Wednesday, shows that “the renewables sector is making significant progress on embedding human rights into its operations, despite the challenging environment created by adverse government policies (notably in the USA), high interest and inflation costs”. The reports authors put this down to two factors. First, a recognition among the companies that rampant human rights abuses in the renewable sector will only slow down the transition and weaken their businesses. And pre-emptive company policy change in advance of new European Union regulations.
