SUMMARY:ESG Portfolio Management: Optimizing Opportunities & Performance
DESCRIPTION:More investment portfolio managers are becoming increasingly aware of the significant impact ESG factors can have on a company’s long-term financial performance. They acknowledge that companies with robust ESG practices are better equipped to handle risks and seize opportunities\, whereas those with weaker ESG practices may face reputational and regulatory risks\, ultimately affecting their financial performance. \nInstitutional investors are also facing mounting pressure from stakeholders to take ESG factors into account when making investment decisions. Consequently\, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become a crucial aspect of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. Nevertheless\, the implementation of this strategy presents substantial challenges\, such as aligning ESG priorities\, dealing with laborious manual data collection processes\, and lacking sufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance. \nThe audience is invited to attend a webinar hosted by Archer and BPM\, where they can gain valuable insights into the current developments\, obstacles\, and potential benefits of ESG portfolio management. The webinar will cover the best approach for portfolio management companies to establish and maintain a sustainable ESG program\, as well as how Archer can enhance ESG performance management and reporting practices to optimize management decision-making.

SUMMARY:Closing the loop: Nutrient recovery from Wastewater
DESCRIPTION:Wastewater\, a severe source of pollution faced by many countries globally\, enters our environment in large quantities and affects the health of humans and ecosystems alike. This also has a major impact on socio-economic activities. Water is a finite resource and the demand from a rapidly growing population puts additional stress on our freshwater bodies and agricultural practices; and sustainable wastewater management shows great promise to fulfil this growing demand. \nHalf of the world’s food security is dependent on nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer use. Often an excessive application of these fertilizers ends up in our water bodies as agricultural run-off\, generating wastewater rich in nutrients. When this wastewater pollutes freshwater and marine ecosystems\, it can lead to loss of aquatic biodiversity caused by eutrophication and the creation of dead zones. The recovery and reuse of nutrients from wastewater could offset 13.4% of the global demand from fertilizers\, hence addressing the social\, environmental\, and economic costs from wastewater. \nThis webinar\, jointly organised by the Global Wastewater Initiative (GWWI) and the Global Partnership on Nutrients Management (GPNM)\, taking place on 16 August 2023\, 3:30 PM – 5:00 PM Nairobi time\, aims to discuss the potential of treating wastewater to recover\, recycle\, and reuse nutrients\, with a focus on nitrogen and phosphorus\, and showcases examples and case studies from the work done in this area.

SUMMARY:ESG: Dispatch from the Front Lines of Accountable Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\n\nOver the past decade\, environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors have captured the attention of trillions of dollars of capital\, engaged thousands of consultants\, and become a top strategic concern in the C-suite and board rooms. However\, over the past 18 months\, a countermovement has challenged the efforts to value ESG factors and incorporate them into strategic initiatives\, claiming that such efforts are “woke” and antithetical to free markets. This countermovement has culminated in seven separate Congressional hearings in Washington\, DC in July 2023\, challenging various aspects of ESG integration. Yet\, at the same time\, EU ESG disclosure regulation continues to expand and investor and corporate interest in ESG factors remains strong. \nIn this LinkedIn Live Session\, three leaders in ESG integration – across financial services\, consulting\, and corporate – will join Wharton professors to discuss their perspectives on the current battle of ideas\, dollars\, and action. Join us to learn the latest actionable insights from the front lines of accountable capitalism.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Biodiversity - linking the TNFD to your business strategy
DESCRIPTION:In response to the impending crisis of biodiversity loss\, businesses and organizations are facing a pressing demand for proactive measures and streamlined practices. The newly introduced TNFD (Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) framework presents a methodical approach for companies to evaluate and communicate their impact on biodiversity. This is pivotal not only for the success of their individual sustainability strategies but also for the attainment of global objectives and the establishment of transparency for stakeholders. \nOur upcoming webinar endeavors to provide you with valuable insights into the critical aspects of biodiversity loss\, sparking a discourse on the integration of nature and business within corporate strategies\, both in theory and practice. Central to the discussion is the TNFD framework and how it serves as a tool to comprehend\, harmonize\, and report on a company’s influence on biodiversity. \nOrlaith Delargy\, an Associate Director at KPMG Ireland\, boasts seven years of professional expertise. Her prior engagements with CDP\, Natural Capital Ireland\, SustainabilityWorks\, and the Dublin Chamber of Commerce have nurtured her proficiency across various sustainability domains\, including water security\, biodiversity\, climate mitigation\, and adaptation. During this webinar\, Orlaith will elucidate the driving forces behind proactive measures and the actionable steps businesses can undertake. \nFurthermore\, while the new TNFD framework might be on the radar of many\, there could still be lingering uncertainties about its components – what it entails and how companies can practically leverage it. Marianne Haahr\, representing Global Canopy and TNFD\, will delve into the intricate elements of the framework. She will unravel its composition\, capabilities\, as well as its limitations. This presentation promises to provide insights into how companies\, akin to yours\, are currently engaging with biodiversity and how this engagement will evolve in the foreseeable future. \nThe key takeaways from this webinar include: \n1. Understanding Biodiversity: Grasping the essence of biodiversity and its significance for both you and your organization. \n2. Practical Implementation: Learning how to effectively incorporate biodiversity considerations into practical operations. \n3. TNFD Framework Introduction: Gaining an introductory understanding of the TNFD framework and its implications for your organization. \nThis webinar is tailored for management professionals who are currently or prospectively involved in integrating biodiversity considerations into the ESG (Environmental\, Social\, and Governance) or overarching strategies of their organizations. If you’re interested in comprehending the strategic benefits that the TNFD framework can offer in a systematic manner\, this session is designed to provide you with valuable insights.

SUMMARY:Ripple Effect: Exploring the Impact of Water Risk on Credit
DESCRIPTION:In a recent research report\, Moody’s highlighted that the impact of water management risks on credit is poised to increase significantly. This escalation arises from the dual pressures of escalating water demand and the compounding effects of climate change\, which particularly intensifies water scarcity in regions already under high water stress. The report identifies eight sectors collectively holding nearly $2 trillion in debt that are particularly susceptible to these risks. These risks extend beyond climate-related concerns and encompass a range of water-related issues such as accessibility\, availability\, efficiency\, pollution\, and pricing. \nAs the repercussions of insufficient water management practices become more pronounced in both financial and societal spheres\, comprehending the influence of these risks on corporations\, governments\, and other entities issuing debt is now of paramount importance. \nA panel consisting of Moody’s analysts and climate experts invites participation to delve into the subsequent focal points: \n1. Amplification of Water Supply-Demand Imbalances due to Climate Change: The panel will discuss the exacerbating effects of climate change on the existing imbalances between water supply and demand. \n2. Translation of Water Management Issues into Credit Risks: The discussion will explore how the challenges associated with water management can be transformed into credit risks for entities that issue debt. \n3. Constructing Resilience: Government and Corporate Strategies: Participants will have the opportunity to explore potential measures that governments and companies can adopt to enhance their resilience in the face of these challenges.
