105+ Best ESG & Sustainability Newsletters
Monthly ESG briefings and updates from the OneStop ESG team and our partners.
Newsletter#105 - Are We Funding Net Zero or Delaying It?
Record clean energy investment. Record fossil fuel financing. Both happened in the same year. The transition is moving just not fast enough, and not to the right places.
Newsletter#104 LVMH, Luxury, and Sustainability
LVMH has already exceeded its 2026 climate target, cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions by over 50% ahead of schedule. But with most emissions sitting in its supply chain, the key question is whether its governance-led approach can deliver meaningful Scope 3 reductions at scale
Newsletter#103 Green Bonds at a Crossroads: Impact, Compliance, and the Next Chapter for Labelled Debt
On the evolution of labelled debt markets, and whether the instruments that started a revolution are still fit for purpose.

More solutions, more talent, more capital than ever. But the people making decisions still can't see the full market. Here's what that actually costs.
Newsletter#101 Agriculture Is the Real Climate Battleground
The gap between recognition and action in food system emissions is now the single largest structural weakness in global climate strategy.
Newsletter#100 Nature as Financial Infrastructure: Featuring BNP Paribas
BNP Paribas is positioning itself as a first-mover in nature finance, deploying €5.4B+ in biodiversity-linked capital and helping build frameworks like Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures. By combining blue finance, biodiversity-linked instruments, and strong partnerships, it is betting that early leadership will capture a major share of the fast-growing nature finance market.
Newsletter#99 Energy Security vs Transition Amid US-Iran Conflict
Governments can align energy security with transition goals via key levers: embed security metrics (import risks, resilience) in climate plans; use short-term fossil contracts as bridges while fast-tracking renewables; lower clean energy financing costs with public banks and policy signals; build regional cooperation on reserves, interconnections, and joint clean projects.
Newsletter#98 Heathrow’s Green Transition
Can the world's most connected airport expand and decarbonise at the same time? Heathrow is pushing a £49bn third runway while chasing net-zero. SAF sits at 0.2% of global fuel, hydrogen planes are a decade late, and a new runway could add 9.43m tonnes of CO₂ a year.
Newsletter#97 AI and the Planet: How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Climate and Nature Solutions
How AI is powering climate solutions and straining the planet at the same time, and what companies need to do about it.
Newsletter#96 Volvo Group’s 2040 Net-Zero Roadmap
Volvo Group faces heavy transport's decarbonization crunch: diesel fleets drive emissions, yet uptime is non-negotiable. Its 2025 ESRS-aligned report charts a net-zero value chain by 2040, with 31% lower use-phase emissions since 2019, 3% electric sales, and 93% supplier sustainability assessments. CEO Lundstedt and CSO Svensson spotlight partnerships as key. Progress is real, gaps remain.
Newsletter#95 ESG Isn’t Failing. Execution Is.
Most companies aren't failing at ESG because they lack ambition. They're failing at execution. The real bottleneck is operational: disorganised evidence, unclear ownership, and systems that can't keep pace with commitments.
Newsletter#94 L'Oréal's Green Ambition with Hard Reality: Progress, Gaps, and What Investors Should Watc
L'Oréal has made measurable progress on operational decarbonisation and renewable energy, yet material gaps remain in Scope 3 emissions and packaging circularity. This ESG Compass analysis examines what is working, where risks persist, and what investors should watch next.
