The drumbeat is strong and the message is clear : Now is the time to drive sustainable change. Insider is committed to equipping colleagues, clients, and readers alike with actionable insights to catalyze progress.

And this progress can be found across our organization. 

From the newsroom: elevating climate action coverage
Insider introduced a different approach to climate action news at the beginning of Earth Month with one of our most extensive editorial initiatives to date, “One Planet.” Described as the optimist’s destination for climate action, “One Planet” seeks to empower and equip readers with actionable insights to enact change at home, in the workplace, and within their communities.

From Insider Advertising: implementing systemic sustainable change
As the newsroom continuously invests in holistic climate coverage, Insider Advertising is equally dedicated to reducing the organization’s carbon footprint through supply chain optimization. Read the announcement to learn how Insider became the first publisher to complete a Scope3 carbon footprint assessment and how these efforts have lowered emissions by more than 20% since the beginning of the year. 

Insider recognizes that industry change can only happen through determination and partnership, so we connected with sustainability-focused leaders to candidly discuss trends, opportunities, and challenges at the intersection of business and sustainability.

Enter Insider’s Sustainability Circle: Dinner & Discussion

On Thursday, April 13, 2023, Insider hosted an intimate dinner at Rezdôra, certified by the Green Restaurant Association in New York City. Insider executives were joined by nearly 20 influential change-makers from organizations such as BNP Paribas, L’Oreal, Deloitte, Universal McCann, and Scope3 to network, share sustainable priorities, and offer industry insight.

The conversation was moderated by Tim Paradis, Insider’s future of business editor, alongside Hervé Duteil, chief sustainability officer at BNP Paribas and member of the One Planet Advisory Council, to spark discussion about strategic sustainable priorities, pose questions, and make connections across the insights being shared.

Insider made sustainable choices at every step

Rezdora is certified by the Green Restaurant Association in New York City, recognizing the Michelin-starred venue for its ongoing commitment to sustainable practices, including sourcing ingredients and composting waste.

Insider also partnered with ClimatePartner to measure all event-related carbon emissions and offset the resulting footprint, certifying the Sustainability Circle as Insider’s inaugural carbon-neutral event. This blog will be updated with more information about the certification and contribution project upon offset completion.
