SUMMARY:The G in ESG & Decoding Investment-Grade ESG Data
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Governance’ pillar involves decision-making governance considerations and the risks and opportunities associated with corporate governance practices. While considered an underdog in the current ESG landscape\, Governance sets the stage for top-down policies in your organization that affect E and S execution and performance at every level of your enterprise.  \nStakeholders eyeing your Governance metrics will assess disclosures like diversity and inclusion in your boardroom\, whether you’re meeting primary duties like regulatory compliance\, accounting\, and auditing\, whether your policies are beneficial to your stakeholders\, and how you compensate your CEOs and top executives.   \nIn Part 4 of our Comprehensive ESG Masterclass webinar series\, we’ll look at the governance metrics material to your organization\, how these are structured across frameworks including the BRSR\, GRI\, SASB\, and more and how you can use digital tools to collect and report accurate and reliable governance data.   \n\n\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Getting to Grips with Climate Metrics: A Comprehensive Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Current industry debates around climate investing have raised the urgency of understanding\, measuring\, monitoring\, and mitigating not only financial risks arising from climate change\, but also the impact of investments on climate change. Policy makers and industry bodies have taken a deep interest in climate investing and have proposed several climate metrics to support investors in measuring and monitoring their portfolio’s climate-change exposure and performance. \nThese climate metrics may differ substantially in terms of their scope and objectives\, making it imperative that market participants understand which ones can help in meeting strategy-specific goals and requirements. Investors may also need to consider different metrics at the different stages of their climate-investment process\, adding to the challenges. \nIn this webinar\, our researchers will discuss how market participants can identify and use suitable climate metrics to achieve their climate-investing objectives. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of climate metrics in your investments. \n\n\n\nLiam Marais

SUMMARY:Progress and Challenges to Achieving a Common Taxonomy for Climate Investments
DESCRIPTION:Policymakers from China and the EU discuss current climate investment taxonomies and what is needed to achieve a common worldwide taxonomy. \nAs countries and governments have pursued policies and regulations to fulfill their commitments to achieve a climate-neutral world by mid-century\, they have formulated classification systems or “taxonomies” to define\, guide and measure environmentally sustainable economic activities. Taxonomies have been developed in the EU\, China and around the world to translate green objectives into criteria for investment\, establish how assets and projects are aligned with green objectives and define green activities that can be financed by the financial system. \nIn this free webinar\, two distinguished policymakers will discuss the most well-developed taxonomies currently in place (EU and China); explore the similarities\, differences\, and implementation progress to date; and debate what is still needed to achieve a common taxonomy and harmonization worldwide. What has been the experience to date and where are the gaps\, as countries move from principles to more detailed technical criteria on the path to a green transition? \n\n\n\nLiam Marais
