U.S.-based asset managers have exited the Climate Action 100+ initiative this year citing concerns like fiduciary duty and legal risk, but are they simply protecting their profits rather than the planet, asks Sasja Beslik, chief investment strategy officer at SDG Impact Japan. Climate Action 100+ was launched in 2017 to engage the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters to reduce emissions, improve governance and strengthen climate-related disclosures. Today, it boasts over 700 investors across 33 markets. But in 2024 big names like Goldman Sachs, Vanguard Group, BlackRock and State Street have exited. Ironically, says Beslik, U.S. insurance companies, clients of these same asset managers, are grappling with skyrocketing costs due to climate damage while many Americans can’t get coverage for climate-related disasters. Yet, some financial firms are reluctant to act on climate, constrained by regulations or fear of antitrust scrutiny, and political pressure from figures like Jim Jordan while US banks have poured $1.8 trillion into fossil fuel financing. #ClimateAction #ESG #FiduciaryDuty #GoldmanSachs #JimJordan #ClimateAction100 #SustainableFinance #AssetManagement #KantianEthics #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuelFinancing Terry Slavin Liam Dowd https://lnkd.in/e7Hai9PD

Compostable packaging, often made from plant-based materials like cornstarch, seems the perfect solution to our single-use woes. However, the reality is far more complex, writes Alex Robinson, CEO at Hubbub. The Big Plastic Count revealed UK households discard 1.7 billion pieces of plastic weekly, 83% related to food and drink. While compostables sound like a guilt-free fix, they only biodegrade under specific conditions while confusing labels and inconsistent disposal options mean they often end up in regular waste or recycling, creating more problems than solutions. There’s no silver bullet for our throwaway culture. We need a multi-faceted approach: reducing unnecessary packaging, prioritising reusables and supporting infrastructure for compostables where feasible. Markets like London's Mercato Metropolitano saved 190,000 single-use items by switching to returnable crockery. Hubbub, in partnership with The University of Sheffield and UK Research and Innovation, found that standardised labeling and consistent messaging are key to helping the public dispose of compostables correctly. #Sustainability #CompostablePackaging #Hubbub #UniversityOfSheffield #BigPlasticCount #UKRI #MercatoMetropolitano #PackagingRevolution #ReduceReuseRecycle #CircularEconomy #ZeroWaste Terry Slavin Liam Dowd https://lnkd.in/eDAcxwHE

In this #WorldWaterWeek it's crucial to recognise the immense value of river basins, which provide essential freshwater, support biodiversity, and drive economic activity. Yet, writes Patricia Calderon, head of water at CDP, many are under severe threat due to increased demand, pollution and climate change. CDP's analysis of 2023 data reveals that $105 billion is at risk across 10 global river basins, including the Yangtze, Mississippi, Rhine and Godavari. As CDP data shows, companies in heavy industries are beginning to understand the risks, with 209 firms acknowledging that river basin challenges could impact over 80% of their global revenue. According to World Resources Institute Europe, 25 countries face extremely high water stress, affecting over 50% of the world's population. The call to action is clear during World Water Week: value water appropriately. UMC, The Coca-Cola Company and L'Oréal are investing in water conservation, demonstrating that the cost of action is far less than the potential financial risks. #WaterCrisis #Sustainability #RiverBasins #WaterRisk #ClimateChange #CDP #WRI #WaterConservation #GlobalRisk #EnvironmentalImpact #CorporateResponsibility #UMC #CocaCola #LOréal https://lnkd.in/dv2n_Wmw

The food system is increasingly at risk due to climate change impacts while also being a significant contributor to emissions, particularly methane, writes Mike Scott. The Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment - University of Oxford flagged this over a decade ago, warning of stranded assets in agriculture. Isobel Rosen from FAIRR Initiative highlights that physical risks like droughts and heatwaves, coupled with transition risks, make the landscape complex for both companies and investors. Peter Elwin at Planet Tracker emphasizes that most investments target the food giants but leave farmers behind. Nusa Urbancic from Changing Markets Foundation points out the urgency, as climate impacts push commodity prices to new heights while Ramya Ravishankar of HowGood stresses the need for companies to measure and communicate environmental impacts, or face market risks. Mars Wrigley is leading by example with its Cocoa for Generations strategy. Barry Parkin, chief sustainability offers at Mars, underscores the importance of adapting to changing climates and sourcing practices. The Sustainable Markets Initiative’s Agribusiness Task Force, including McCain Foods, McDonald's, Mondelēz International, PepsiCo, and @Waitrose, has launched a blended finance framework to support regenerative agriculture. #ClimateChange #FoodSystem #Sustainability #FAIRR #OxfordUniversity #PlanetTracker #Mars #SustainableAgriculture #RegenerativeFarming #EnvironmentalImpact #Agribusiness #Investment #FoodSecurity #CocoaforGenerations #AgribusinessTaskForce Terry Slavin Liam Dowd https://lnkd.in/eeWYNZPN
