About: Fix typo's in the about section. (#246)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I'd started a branch with typo's that I noticed, then thought it may
make sense to actually use cspell.

With this PR I've added cspell and used it to fix all typos in the about
section (adding vocab to the cspell config for now), but don't want to
spend more time on it now (I'd rather learn), so will leave the rest
(when I've time I'll get aider or similar to do the manual labour :P)

I've ignored the about/Meetings.md as I don't want to change meeting
notes.

| Most supply chain shipments are accompanied by verifiable ESG performance data. | In complex supply chains this means that at each supply chain step verifiable product and ESG information accompanies products via a Digital Product Passport. |
| Greenwashing is a niche activity that is easily detected and quickly penalised by markets and regulators. | Businesses that chose not to share verifible information about their products are assumed to be doing the wrong things from an ESG perspective and therefore get lower prices for their products or lose access to markets. |

There are a large number of national and global not-for-profit organisations who's purpose is to promote environmental or human welfare causes. Some "trust marks", such as the WWF panda, have very high global brand recognition. Although these organisations don't have the enforcement teeth of regulators, they can strongly influence product market success when their trust mark is added (or revoked).

- When influential ESG trust marks establish well-goverened accreditation frameworks and **issue** (or revoke) UNTP accreditation credentials then they are able to participate in the digital trust ecosystem as [identity anchors](../specification/IdentityResolver.md), thereby multiplying the power of their brand to drive sustainable production practices.

## Financial Institutions

Financial institutions are under increasing pressure from both regulators and the investment community to grant preferential terms for investment capital to sustainable businesses. The finance industry will increasingly verify sustainable performance via their customer annual reporting according to [IFRS sustainability standards](https://www.ifrs.org/issued-standards/ifrs-sustainability-standards-navigator/). Just as financial transactions such as bills, invoices and payments aggregate up to corporate financial statements such as profit & loss and balance sheets, so corporate level annual sustainability metrics are constructed from operational data such as UNTP digital product passports. Furthermore, at consignment level, trade finance instruments such as documentary letters of credit normally require sufficient documentation for goods clearnance to be presented prior to payment release. For cases where goods may be blocked at the border due to non-compliance with ESG regulations, then financial institutions will require ESG compliance evidence prior to releasing funds.

- When banks can use UNTP product passports and conformity credentials to digitally **verify** ESG compliance for shipments covered by letters of credit then they can more confidently release payment.
- When banks that are providing investment capital on sustainability grounds to businesses that have implemented UNTP then there is a clear line of sight from UNTP-based operational processes to IFRS-based corporate ESG performance, thereby reducing the financial risk associated with the investment.
