LEADERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURES 2
Introduction
A company is conducting business in any nation has been using various resources from the
external environment that may be impacted by the business activity of the corporation. As per
my observation, the external environment of the nation will also affect the business of the
company. In order to maintain a friendly environment and save the environment, sustainable
development goals are being prepared by the companies for acknowledging the responsibility
towards the environment. The report will discuss one of the key sustainable development goals
that are climate action of Ben & Jerry, which was certified as being corporations since 2012
(undp, 2019). As per my personal experience, Ben and Jerry is one of the premium ice cream
manufacturers that is very popular and liked by most of the customers which makes this choice
for discussion interesting for me. (bcorporation.net, 2019)

Literature review
Climate action means putting up the efforts to strengthen the resilience and diminish greenhouse
gas emission and adaptive capacity to induce impact of climate. This will include the integration
of measures of climate change in the policies of the nation, Hazard is related to climate in every
nation, planning and strategies, awareness raising, improving education and increasing
institutional capacity in relation to climate change adaption, mitigation, impact diminishing and
early-stage warning (Kolk, 2016). Every nation has been experiencing the negative impact of
climate change that has resulted in undermining efforts of various parties, organizations and
bodies to attain sustainable development goals in the nation (Berg, 2015).
The most appropriate solution for the sustainable development goal will be carbon market, that is
to diminish greenhouse gas emission by including emission limits and it is allowing emission
units trading (Tari, 2015). Another effective solution to this issue includes crowd funding that is
approach for start-ups, entrepreneurs, and organizations in order to raise money. Environmental
trust funds are another solution to this issue that would include investment vehicle and legal
entity helping blind, mobilize and oversee the allocation and collection of financial resources for
the objective of environmental sustainability (Ma, Rasul, & Liu, 2016). Some other key solutions
for the issue of climate take action include debt for nature’s swaps; this includes an agreement to
words reduction of services and debt stock of a developing nation in exchange for nature
protection commitment. Lotteries are another way that includes people and government society
use in order to enhance funds for a purpose like health, education and nature conservation
(Epstein, 2018). Social and development impact bonds is another solution that includes the
partnership of public and private organization that will make investors of the private organization

took up the responsibility for delivering environmental and social outcomes in return for
financial interest. In addition to this, tax on fuel is another method that can be adopted by an
organization in order to reduce the climate effect over the nation and organization. This includes
sales tax on a firm or any personnel who will purchase fuel for home heating or to mobile
(Cabral & Mathiason, 2015). This will reduce the consumption of fuel, eventually diminish
Green House definition, and help in generating revenues for the public. Born to restart it will also
helpful for the company to keep the climate control that would include the standard applicable in
these sectors like a financial sector that will ensure and encourage good practices monitoring of
social outcomes and achievement of environmental outcomes (sdfinance.undp, 2019).
Discussion
It has been identified that there is no nation that is not suffering from the various effects that are
the negative effect of change of climate like greenhouse gas emission has been responsible for
increased global warming and threatened from the consequences in case people do not take any
action. Therefore, Ben and Jerry Have Been working to words climate action by planning
reduction in carbon by 2050 and goal consist of greenhouse gas emission (Epstein, 2018).
Ben and jerry carbon reduction goal
Ben and Jerry are one of the popular global ice cream company that has been always known for
its social justice mission and formidable environmental mission. The company planned for
carbon reduction for 2050 to limit global warming through the significant diminishing effect of
carbon emission to 2°C. This integrates the company’s vision of climate justice that required a
better approach in order to obtain the vision and mission of sustainable development. Ben and
Jerry booked for this ambitious strategy that will integrate the investment in renewable energy in

order to increase the price on carbon activate citizens around the blue and walk to deal value
chain in order to engage government bodies in the course. The strategies of Ben and Jerry have
helped to plan to establish their carbon reduction cool through three major activities. Alignment
of the company on the basis of science target, development of mitigation project portfolio and
advice on the implementation of the developed mitigation project (purestrategies, 2019).
The initial activity of alignment of corporate through science-based goal would be based on
greenhouse gas that Will hurt been an injury to align internal requirement for the carbon and
encompasses throughout the supply chain of the company. The company had included a carbon
footprint from seed to the school of ice cream then injury a better understanding of the upcoming
challenge (Kolk, 2016).
The study has been conducted which has included the impact of firms which is playing the
greatest role with accounting and corporate boards for 41% of the carbon footprint. The company
how to groom the crops in order to feed their cows so as to have bitten ingredients to be used in
manufacture And also significantly helpful in the process of transportation. Another challenge
faced by the company while planning the school was the revenue growth projected by the
company which was required to search for a method to Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from
the sales of ice cream (benjerry, 2018).
Pure strategies of ben and jerry have affected the work including a recommendation to the
company on the way is to set long-term goal 15 along with the scientific analysis of community
that will be required globally for reduction of greenhouse gas. The company consulting external
NGOs and stakeholders are internally in the business has created your strategies into working to
words the 20% diminish in greenhouse gas intensity with a target to be achieved in the next 6

years. In order to implement this financially the company had put an internal price on each
carbon produced done across the operations of the company (azocleantech, 2019).
Implementation of the sustainable development goal
The implementation plan for Ben and Jerry to make the sustainable development goal into action
includes program investment and development of a portfolio for pure strategies for ben and jerry
that will include priority in action. The project of pain injury would be largely based on technical
availability, which can be implemented in medium and short-term providing company with
project estimation that would contribute to words the achievement of the goal developed. With
the insight of portfolio the company has initiated various greenhouse gas emission reduction
projects, that contribute the planning of renewable energy and affectedness that a great logistic
officials the efforts of the company, manufacturing of the company and finding out various
energy efficiency base at Ben & Jerry’s franchisees (Lawrence, 2015). Due to the sustainable
development goal Ben and Jerry have also come up with its first week and ice creams that will
influence daily ice cream production with the lesser life cycle of greenhouse gas. For the
implementation of the strategy, Ben and Jerry have selected COMET farm tool that was
developed by natural resource conservation service, US Department of agriculture and Colorado
State University. Daily caring program of ben and Jerry has also implemented in order to have
long paid a premium for adopting farming practices that a sustainable to farmers. Through this
firm tool, Producers of ice cream and farmers could able to manage the carbon footprint
reduction is in a better way and can have enhanced herd management, crop rotation, sustainable
tilling practices, cover cropping (Read, 2013).
