Kanye West sells unfinished house in Malibu for 53 million dollars
Kanye West, now known as Ye, is selling his unfinished Malibu house designed by Tadao Ando for $53 million, two years after purchasing it for $57.25 million. The property, requiring significant additional investment to complete, was initially planned by Richard Sachs and features a brutalist design. The sale comes amid West's legal issues with a former contractor and the fallout from his antisemitic remarks, which led to the loss of contracts with Adidas and Gap. The price reduction aligns with a broader decline in California's real estate market, influenced by the new 'mansion tax.'

Elon Musk reinstates Kanye West’s Twitter account after ban
Kanye West's Twitter account, now on the platform X, was reinstated by Elon Musk nearly eight months after being banned for posting an image of a swastika merged with a Star of David. West, who has a history of antisemitic remarks, had his account locked after threatening Jewish people and praising Hitler. Musk, a self-proclaimed free speech absolutist, had suspended West's account due to incitement to violence. West, who has bipolar disorder and has discussed his mental health challenges, has not tweeted since the reinstatement. He also lost partnerships with Adidas and Gap over his controversial comments.

Why more fashion brands like Princess Polly are signing up for Science-Based Targets initiatives to cut emissions
Fashion brands are increasingly committing to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce emissions and align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming. The initiative, which saw an 87% increase in company targets in 2022, provides sector-specific guidance and requires annual updates. Brands like Princess Polly, Nike, H&M, and Allbirds are among those setting concrete plans to reduce their carbon footprint. Princess Polly has committed to significant reductions in emissions by 2030 and sourcing all electricity from renewable sources by 2025. The SBTi's growth is driven by the need for credible climate action plans, stakeholder pressure, and the potential for regulatory requirements on environmental reporting.

Textile industry criticised for lack of ESG targets in executive pay
Several high-profile textile companies, including Gap, Nordstrom, and Victoria’s Secret, are criticized for not linking executive pay to sustainability targets. Planet Tracker's report highlights that only Adidas and Puma adequately use sustainability-linked objectives in executive pay. The report urges investors to push for annual, quantitative sustainability-linked performance targets in executive pay policies. Experts emphasize the importance of including ESG metrics in remuneration policies, despite their current low weighting. The textile industry, responsible for about 10% of global emissions, is lagging in incorporating ESG metrics in executive pay, with concerns about 'greencrowding' hindering real progress.

Resources threatens defamation lawsuit against president of Timor GAP
Timor Resources is considering a defamation lawsuit against António José Loiola de Sousa, president of Timor GAP, for comments he made accusing the company of lacking knowledge, experience, or funds. The dispute, which has been ongoing since 2019, escalated when Timor Resources sent a formal Dispute Notification in August 2021. Despite the dispute, Timor Resources has continued its onshore oil exploration project in Timor-Leste, with an investment of $60 million since 2017. The company expects to start production at two wells by the end of 2023, having confirmed significant oil and gas reserves. The government of Timor-Leste granted exploration and production licenses to Timor Resources in 2017, covering an area of about 2,000 square kilometers. The disagreement centers on the interpretation of consortium partners' rights and obligations, particularly regarding exploration financing.
