7/ Curious about the case? š°
Read the article that sparked these thoughts:

6/ š This could be a defining moment for corporate accountability.
Weāre evolving toward clearer, stronger rulesāand companies must adapt.
Because sustainable, ethical practices arenāt just about compliance. Theyāre about survival.

5/ šŗļø With the #2030 UN #SDG deadline approaching, the pressure is mounting.
#EthicalSupplyChains arenāt optionalātheyāre essential.
The stakes? Brands risk more than their reputations; operational & financial stability are on the line.

4/ š” Why does this matter?
If companies ignore their supply chains, the risks are massive:
#HumanRightsViolations
Regulatory non-compliance
Market backlash
The #Congo case is a wake-up call for businesses with complex, global value chains.

3/ Europe driving change w/ stricter regulations
š«š· Duty of Vigilance Law (Loi sur le devoir de vigilance)
š©šŖ Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG)
š³š“ Transparency Act (Ć
penhetsloven)
Add in the EUās CSRD & CS3D, lead to this: Companies must disclose how they manage environmental & human rights risks šæ

2/ š A global shift is happening.
Countries are tightening laws on supply chain transparency & human rights. This case highlights how failure to address risksāespecially conflict mineralsācan lead to legal, reputational, and financial consequences.
Letās zoom out to the bigger picture š§µ

7/ The clock is ticking, but thereās still time to make a difference. Letās work together to create a more sustainable future. š± What changes are you making today for tomorrow? #ClimateActionNow #SustainabilityInEntertainment

6/ These changes may seem small, but collectively, they can make a huge impact. Itās time for the entertainment industry to lead the charge in sustainability. Every action counts, and together, we can help mitigate climate change. š #SustainableEntertainment

5/ Waste management also needs a change. Composting organic waste can reduce emissions by 41 kg CO2e per tonne, compared to landfilling. Itās time to stop tossing everything into non-recyclable bins and start turning waste into valuable matter. ā»ļø #WasteManagement #Composting

4/ Next up: rethinking materials. Why stick with high-emission steel and concrete when biomaterials like bacteria-based insulation and wood (stronger than steel per unit of weight) could transform construction? Letās shift toward sustainable alternatives. š± #Biomaterials

3/ But thereās hope! The entertainment industryāparks, museums, and moreāhas a major role to play. Adaptation starts now. Letās rethink urban landscapes with native plants and green spaces to cool the environment and act as carbon sinks. šæ #GreenDesign #SustainableParks

2/ The impacts are already felt: cities could see 5.2 heatwaves/year, with longer allergy seasons, food shortages, and stressed water supplies. Itās a reality that affects everything, including our favorite roller coasters and museums. š”ļø #ClimateCrisis

For sure! I was blown away with the work #Efteling does in their sustainability too! Iām not saying parks donāt do it. Iām saying there is a lot more tons of parks can do š. Especially those who are not as mature in the topic yet. Also, I would love to see some park mentoring networks

10/ Moving forward, our industry needs to do more than just ācatch up.ā The climate crisis is real, and itās time to lead by exampleānot just for our businesses, but for the planet. š What else can we do to contribute to the global climate action conversation? #ClimateActionNow

9/ šļø What about sustainable infrastructure? COP29ās $1.3 trillion climate goal asks us all to contribute. Parks in developed regions can lead by example, helping to mentor parks in the Global South on site remediation, green roofing, and other sustainable initiatives. #SustainabilityLeadership

8/ š Energy Storage & Hydrogen Solutions: COP29ās pledges around energy storage and hydrogen could revolutionize how parks power their attractions. Think battery storage for rides, or hydrogen-powered roller coasters, cutting down reliance on traditional grids. #CleanTech

7/ š° With the Baku Initiative for Climate Finance, thereās a chance for amusement parks to partner with global stakeholders on sustainable projects. Public-private partnerships could bring much-needed funds for more eco-conscious park designs. #SustainableInvestment

6/ š Renewable Energy Adoption: COP29 stressed the importance of green energy. Imagine solar-powered roller coasters, energy-efficient attractions, and parks that run on clean energy. Itās time to start thinking about eco-friendly designs. #GreenEnergy

5/ š Climate change isnāt waiting. Weāre on track for a 3.1Ā°C rise by 2100, which means the roller coaster and entertainment industry needs to step up. Here are a few thoughts on how parks, museums, and venues can get involved in the climate conversation. #GlobalWarming

4/ But the most important news: a $1.3 trillion climate finance target was set for 2035ā$300 billion/year from developed nations alone. The goal? Help developing countries deal with climate impacts. So how does this impact our industry? #BakuFinanceGoal

3/ One of the key milestones from COP29: The Loss and Damage Fund will officially begin financing climate adaptation and mitigation projects by 2025, with $730 million pledged so far. This is huge for vulnerable nations. #LossAndDamage #ClimateFinance

2/ First things firstāCOP is short for the āConference of the Parties,ā where world leaders meet to address climate change. This yearās summit was loaded with decisions that will affect us all, including the theme park and entertainment industry. #ClimateAction

OMG the ginger cat looks like my Almendra...she passed a couple of years ago and I still missed her dearly (she was almost 18!). Below the last pic I took of her.
