Companies should double down on ESG principles, not retreat
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles were designed to help businesses align profit with purpose, offering a framework for companies to operate responsibly while addressing climate, social, and ethical risks. ESG has also served as a playbook to help businesses measure their long-term impact beyond short-term profits. Even as the debate intensifies, the core driver of ESG remains unchanged: that companies operate responsibly, transparently and sustainably. But lately, corporate commitments to these values have been about as solid as wet papier-mâché. Walking away from ESG, as four of Canada's largest banks appeared to be signalling when they withdrew from the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance in January — mirroring similar exits by six of the biggest U.S. banks — is a short-sighted response. Abandoning these principles might ease short-term political pressure, but it's a losing strategy for both long-term business resilience and the health of the planet. So what might businesses do instead? The solution isn't to mask. It isn't to draw the blinds, turn off the lights and hope folks walk by your home without notice. Empty promises and vague language are quickly flagged as whitewashing. Consumers are too crafty for that, and once your business has been painted with that brush, it's very hard to earn back that trust. This goes for greenwashing as well, where companies often utilize vague language to attract environmentally aware customers and investors by creating a false impression of sustainability. In fact, according to a 2025 survey from the Responsible Investment Association, greenwashing concerns are rising, with over half of respondents (54 per cent) acknowledging that it deters them from responsible investing compared to the previously reported 46 per cent. Instead, it's about telling your story through more transparent, verifiable, step-by-step action. Even as the debate intensifies, the core driver of ESG remains unchanged: that companies operate responsibly, transparently and sustainably, writes Mountain Equipment Company is a business doing a great job. Its open disclosure of environmental impact, goals, and successes is clear, simple, and direct to the point: Here's what's happening, and here's what we're doing about it. Likewise, Nature's Path 's brand and business strategy are tethered to ESG and show how it can not only be compatible with profitability, but a driver of it. Microsoft's commitment to becoming carbon negative by 2030 is backed by publicly available progress reports — a simple but powerful way to replace corporate jargon with measurable results. What's important to note here as well is that they are telling us this story. We know it because they operate that way, believe in it and share it with us. Companies that embrace ESG as an operating philosophy in tandem with a marketing strategy are far better equipped to navigate public scrutiny and regulatory shifts. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, which manages over $500 billion in assets, updated its Policy on Sustainable Investing in 2025 to reinforce this fact, stating: 'Our approach to sustainable investing is based on our belief that organizations that effectively anticipate and manage material sustainability-related factors and other long-term strategic issues are more likely to endure, and create greater value over the long term, than those that do not.' As the ESG debate continues, companies that will earn and keep public trust are those whose actions withstand the spotlight, not flee from it.

Rising prices, growing hunger
Opinion A trip to the grocery store is getting more expensive all the time. Food prices are expected to rise by three to five per cent in Canada this year alone, with meat and vegetables leading the way. Buying cheaper food brings its own risks, as poor nutrition can lead to other health problems and a notable drop in school performance for children. As Canadians struggle with rising food prices, we can empathize with people in other countries where prices are rising more than twice as fast, as revealed in this year's State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World (SOFI) report, published Monday by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. Across Africa as a whole, where hunger is growing the fastest, people had to pay an average of 37 per cent more for a healthy diet in 2024 than in 2019. The rising cost of food is due to factors beyond the control of individual families, with the biggest causes being changes in climate, government policies, and geopolitical conflicts. In many African countries, a large percentage of the population work in the agriculture and food system — growing, processing, transporting, and selling food. Most farmers have less than five hectares of land to grow food for their families, hoping to produce enough extra food to sell for income. One failed rainy season, or a fuel shortage making food transport difficult, means less food at home, and more expensive food in the market. Families struggling financially might cope by cutting back on expensive foods like vegetables and meat, instead eating more rice or porridge — filling the belly, but lacking nourishment for growing minds. Mothers often skip meals so their kids can eat, and when desperation hits, families sell their land or assets to buy food, putting their future livelihood at risk. Canada and other industrial countries aim to reduce global hunger by providing food assistance in crisis situations and investing in agriculture and food systems to reduce hunger over the long term. But with countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other nations making significant cuts to their international aid budgets this year, there will be fewer resources to meet increasing needs. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank, with support from the Canadian government and thousands of Canadians across the country, helps over one million people in 37 countries to eat better each year. In contexts of crisis, such as in Gaza, this looks like emergency food assistance baskets provided for 143,000 people with support from two Foodgrains Bank members. 'I walked more than five kilometres to receive this package because it came at a critical time… I didn't know what I would feed my children today,' says project participant Nasim (a pseudonym used for security reasons). Our work also includes provision of longer-term agriculture and livelihood support to improve food security in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 'I no longer go to (the) market for vegetables … I am walking on the path to food security,' says project participant Hélène, who built her own kitchen garden and influenced many others in her community to adopt conservation agriculture farming techniques. While several partners supported by Foodgrains Bank members were impacted by the USAID cuts earlier this year — including Church World Service Africa, which lost over 500 staff in Kenya — we're inspired by their continued commitment to serving the most vulnerable. Canada has long stood at the forefront of the fight against hunger, driving lasting change and fostering stability and prosperity around the world. As others step back, Canada must step forward to fill critical gaps emerging in humanitarian and development funding. By prioritizing support for small-scale farmers and delivering food aid where it's needed most, Canada can help ensure no one is left behind in the mission to build a more secure, equitable world — one where food is affordable and accessible for all. Paul Hagerman is the Director of Public Policy at Canadian Foodgrains Bank. He joined in 2007 and now oversees advocacy work on food security issues within the organization. Prior to his work with the Foodgrains Bank, Paul worked in agriculture for over 20 years in Canada, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

Xinhua Headlines: Chancay Port opens Inca Trail of New Era toward shared prosperity between China, Latin America
* The construction of the Port of Chancay, launched in 2021, is creating a maritime gateway to Asia and beyond, revitalizing the city's economy and strategic significance. * Unlike the old imperial roads, which served mostly the elite, the Chancay Port is designed to benefit broader populations -- creating jobs, speeding trade, and positioning Peru as a regional logistics hub. * Extending the ancient Inca spirit of connection into the 21st century, Chancay is forging a new land-sea corridor across the Pacific, linking Latin America with Asia and heralding a new chapter of shared prosperity. by Meng Yifei and Zhu Yubo LIMA, Aug. 3 (Xinhua) -- More than 500 years ago, the legendary Inca Trail stretched from Cusco across the Andes, linking far-flung territories and fostering political, economic, and cultural integration across the vast Inca Empire. Today, on Peru's Pacific coast, Chancay Port is becoming a starting point of an Inca Trail of the New Era -- a maritime gateway linking Latin America with Asia. In the first five months of 2025 alone, trade through the Chancay Multipurpose Port Terminal surpassed 777 million U.S. dollars. Peru's President Dina Boluarte said in June that the project is expected to lift GDP by 1.8 percentage points -- roughly 4.5 billion dollars -- and create some 7,000 jobs. As a 21st-century smart port, Chancay Port is deepening cooperation between China and Latin America, advancing connectivity and shared prosperity across continents. FROM SACRED PATH TO SMART PORT In the 15th century, the Inca Empire extended across much of South America, encompassing territories that today make up Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. At the heart of this vast realm was the Qhapaq Nan, or "sacred path" -- a sprawling network of stone roads that linked the empire's four regions and connected its capital, Cusco, with distant frontiers. "These routes already existed before the Inca expansion," said Rafael Varon Gabai, director of Peru's National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology, and History. "But they were integrated and perfected with bridges and infrastructure that enabled trade, communication and cultural exchange." In 2014, the Qhapaq Nan was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a testament to its enduring legacy. North of Lima, the city of Chancay echoes Peru's rich history. Between 1100 and 1400 AD, the Chancay civilization thrived along this stretch of coast, developing sophisticated agricultural systems and urban settlements in the Chancay and Chillon valleys. Today, the ancient landscape is experiencing a new transformation. The construction of the Port of Chancay, launched in 2021, is creating a maritime gateway to Asia and beyond, revitalizing the city's economy and strategic significance. "Until recently, large-scale industrial or commercial activity was practically nonexistent," said Nilo Miranda, president of the Chancay Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Tourism. He hopes the city of Chancay will seize this historic opportunity to become the "Andean pearl" of the new era, just as the Oriental Pearl Tower came to symbolize Shanghai's rise. This Pacific-facing port is more than an infrastructure project -- it stands as a modern echo of the ancient sacred paths. Extending the ancient Inca spirit of connection into the 21st century, Chancay is forging a new land-sea corridor across the Pacific, linking Latin America with Asia and heralding a new chapter of shared prosperity. A NEW CORRIDOR ACROSS PACIFIC The new maritime route has shortened Asia-bound shipping times from 33 days to just 23. "Since the inauguration of the Port of Chancay, we have been receiving an average of 400 containers per month from China," said Mayra Huillca, coordinator of the foreign trade department at Indurama, a company that imports Chinese-made home appliances for the Latin American market. "Currently, we sell 50 percent more than before." Neighboring countries are also reaping benefits. Ecuador's banana exports to China jumped 45.56 percent in the first five months of 2025, according to the Ecuadorian Banana Marketing and Export Association (Acorbanec). "The logistics aspect greatly helps Ecuadorian banana exports," said Acorbanec CEO Richard Salazar. "The presence of COSCO Shipping Lines has also made the route faster and more direct." Where the ancient Inca Trail once connected much of South America by land, the Port of Chancay is forging a broader, modern land-sea corridor between Asia and Latin America. Unlike the old imperial roads, which served mostly the elite, the Chancay Port is designed to benefit broader populations -- creating jobs, speeding trade, and positioning Peru as a regional logistics hub. "This port, in my view, represents the renewal of the Inca Trail," said Luis Vasquez, president of the Foundation for the Development of Science and Culture at the National University of San Marcos in Lima. LIVING HERITAGE Once a key site in the Inca Empire, Chancay's legacy now converges with 21st-century innovation. Since its launch in 2021, Chancay Port has become Latin America's first green, smart port, operating 24/7 with automated gantry cranes, low-carbon vehicles and real-time AI-driven logistics. Fully powered by clean energy, it ensures sustainable, carbon-free operations. "We're improving efficiency, safety and emergency response as we evolve towards a modern, sustainable model," said He Bo, executive deputy general manager of COSCO Shipping Ports Chancay Peru. But the port's impact extends beyond cutting-edge technology to serve as a powerful engine for economic growth. During a recent visit to the site, Xinhua journalists observed young, skilled workers operating robotic arms and managing automated systems -- a vivid sign of the country's growing role in high-tech logistics. Chancay has evolved from a historical site into an emerging symbol of modern development. "Shipping lines, commercial vision and connectivity open up an enormous range of possibilities for trade and development," said Gonzalo Rios Polastri, deputy general manager of COSCO Shipping Ports Chancay Peru. STRONGER BONDS ACROSS CULTURES Beyond trade, Chancay Port is also a bridge of cultural exchange. "In Peru, Chinese people are often affectionately called paisanos," said Varon. Peru's Congress has even declared Feb. 1 as Peru-China Fraternity Day. Chinese-Peruvian fusion restaurants, known as "chifas," are a hallmark of Peru's urban landscape. "Half of the port workers come from the Chancay area," said Rios. "Many young locals, after training, have become skilled operators of smart equipment." Peruvian and Chinese employees work side-by-side, with relationships forged outside of work. "Many Chinese staff already consider Peru their second home," Rios added. In 2024, Cusco's Inka Museum hosted Sunlight: Cultural Exchange Exhibition between the Ancient Shu and Inca Civilizations, receiving nearly 8,000 visitors. "For the first time, Chinese artifacts arrived in Cusco and were displayed alongside Inca relics," said Julinho Zapata, the museum's director. "The artifacts communicated with each other." "It was truly transcendental," added Eleazar Crucinta, rector of the National University of San Antonio Abad in Cusco. "People finally saw Chinese culture not in books or images, but in person."
