Across global value chains, pressures on livelihoods are intensifying, affecting both people and the businesses that depend on them.

At the Living Wage and Living Income Summit, leaders from business, civil society and international organizations came together to discuss how to accelerate progress on living wages and living incomes, and turn commitments into action.

Advancing living wages and living incomes is essential to building more resilient supply chains, strengthening livelihoods and driving sustainable development.

🌍 New research just released — and it should be on every marketing team's radar.
The UN Global Compact and Kantar have launched the first-ever global CMO benchmark study on sustainable marketing transformation, aligned with UN guidance, drawing on insights from over 1,700 senior leaders worldwide.

The findings reveal that while momentum is building, significant capability and ex*****on gaps remain.

✅ 69 per cent of marketers believe their organizations are progressing well on sustainability
⚠️ Yet average performance across 28 benchmark areas stands at just 52 per cent

Even more striking: while 27 per cent of marketers say they're "well advanced" in sustainable transformation, only 9 per cent of sustainability professionals agree. That's a major alignment gap — and a major opportunity.

The study also reveals that circular business models are still undervalued in marketing. Nearly half of sustainability leaders (49 per cent) believe profitable growth can be achieved through circular models — yet only 25 per cent of marketers agree.

For CMOs, the priorities are clear:
→ Build stronger insight capabilities around sustainable consumption and behavioural change
→ Embed sustainability into growth strategy and investment decisions
→ Integrate sustainability into KPIs, governance and performance
→ Strengthen cross-functional collaboration

Sustainability perceptions already contribute up to 10 per cent of brand value among the Kantar BrandZ Global Top 100. The business case is there. Now it's time to close the gap.

🌊 On World Ocean Day, we recognize that the future of our oceans and the future of climate action are inseparable.

Accelerating decarbonization across shipping, ports and coastal industries is essential to protecting marine ecosystems while building a more resilient global economy.

Healthy oceans depend on resilient, forward-looking infrastructure that can support clean energy, sustainable trade and thriving coastal communities. From smarter ports to cleaner maritime systems, innovation will play a critical role in shaping a sustainable ocean future.

The sustainable ocean economy represents one of the greatest opportunities to balance environmental stewardship with long-term economic growth. Ocean solutions can create jobs, strengthen communities and preserve marine resources for future generations.

This month, the UN Global Compact is helping advance these conversations through key engagements at the Our Ocean Conference and London Climate Action Week.

Through the Ocean Centres initiative, we are convening discussions on the development of structured, investable blue finance pipelines that support ocean development pathways across African ocean economies. We are also gathering leaders from Government, business, finance and civil society to explore systemic solutions to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy at scale and strengthen the ocean finance ecosystem to support investment in sustainable ocean economies.

Protecting our oceans requires collaboration, innovation and investment. Together, we can help build an ocean economy that supports people, planet and prosperity.
