SUMMARY:Navigating Climate Credit Risk: Insights from NGFS III for Corporates
DESCRIPTION:Network for Greening of the Financial System (NGFS) climate scenarios have become a financial industry standard. We employ their latest iteration to illustrate the impact on the corporate PD projections from the Moody’s Climate Adjusted Expected Default Frequency model. The model links global and sectoral dynamics with physical risk assessment and emissions at the company level. \nModelling challenges include combining physical risk across climate hazards as well as deriving firm-level metrics from the transition risk implied sectoral pathways.\nRegulators across the globe require usage of different Integrated Assessment Models to characterize transition risk. Our modular approach enables us to quantify the impact of these modelling choices. \n\nClimate Adjusted Corporate PD Modelin a nutshell\nNGFS Scenarios’ Evolution: Net Zero and Nationally Determined Contributions imply lower emissions\n Conceptual challenges for physical risk scoring\n From sectors to the firm level: Moody’s Transition Risk Oligopoly Model\n Does the used IAM matter? GCAM vs REMIND\n What’s next in the climate credit risk modelling\n\n\n\n\nMatt Bird\n\n\nMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Diversity in Finance Awards 2023
DESCRIPTION:FTAdviser’s Diversity in Finance Awards\, now in their fifth year\, aim to showcase the best initiatives\, campaigns and success stories over the past 12 months when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the financial services sector. \nDiversity and inclusion is not a corporate catchphrase but an organisational imperative in today’s workplace. It is clear that diversity and inclusion in the workplace lead to increased innovation\, better opportunities for all and improved business performance\, while companies that fail to capture and nurture this talent are missing out on opportunities to enhance their business model. \nThe Diversity in Finance Awards have been designed to celebrate individuals in financial services and UK financial services companies who have taken active steps towards a more inclusive\, diverse and fair industry that works better for all stakeholders: colleagues\, customers and the community. \nAwards will be given to those individuals who have demonstrated their support for minority groups and their tireless efforts to promote and inspire those who are otherwise under-represented\, as well as recognising companies whose policies\, schemes or initiatives encourage and enable diversity in the workplace. \nThis is an opportunity for FCA-regulated\, UK-based companies\, large and small\, to show how they are getting it right\, and for employees to gain the recognition they deserve. \nTo view the 2023 shortlist\, click here. \nThe winners will be revealed on 22 June 2023 during the Awards Ceremony at The Biltmore Mayfair in London. \n\n\n\nMatt Bird\n\n\nMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:ESG: Dispatch from the Front Lines of Accountable Capitalism
DESCRIPTION:Over 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. \n\n\n\nMatt Bird\n\n\nMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals
DESCRIPTION:$35 trillion dollars of assets under management claim inclusion of environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) factors into their investment strategies. However\, their portfolio managers must navigate imperfect data sets to measure the impact of a company’s ESG factors. Additionally\, investors and regulators must navigate mounting skepticism of ESG claims\, trying to separate the green from the greenwash. They’re positioned in a bind — beholden to growing shareholder appetite for returns on sustainable and value-driven portfolios\, while simultaneously competing against benchmark funds that focus only on short-term performance. \nThis Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals combines Wharton’s world-class financial acumen with the critical insights from award-winning Wharton faculty pioneering ESG research. The result is a powerful\, actionable toolkit for investment professionals to implement\, measure\, model\, and optimize ESG-asset integration in their portfolios for sustained value generation. \nProgram Experience\nHighlights and Key Outcomes\nIn the Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals program\, you will: \n\nEnhance your ability to integrate ESG factors into diverse investment strategies across asset classes\nIdentify climate leaders and laggards across industries and those poised to seize transition opportunities\nUnderstand how complex regulations give rise to financial markets for carbon and renewable energy certificates\, and how this impacts the profitability of various industries\nAnalyze financial implications of different political risks and future scenarios from geopolitical to national to local levels\nAnticipate ESG shareholder activism and engagement as well as their impacts\n\nThe Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals is comprised of one month of introductory content (Wharton ESG Essentials) immediately followed by an additional month of specialized investing content. This advanced certificate is designed to quickly catapult financial leaders and professionals to the forefront of ongoing ESG decision making\, empowering them to act as informed\, prepared catalysts for change. \n\nBlended Online Program Structure\nThis program’s blended format is designed to produce maximum\, immediate impact for the busy executive. Participants will join live online sessions for two hours once a week over eight weeks. Sessions will be led by award-winning Wharton faculty who are pioneering academic research and leading the dialogue in the rapidly evolving ESG field. \nBroadcasted and facilitated live from a technologically advanced classroom\, the program prioritizes live engagement and employs a host of instructional modalities to enhance the learning experience: in-class discussions\, case work\, small-group breakout sessions\, role playing\, and several competitive and engaging simulations. In addition\, participants will work through self-paced content at their convenience in between live sessions. \n\nProgram Details:\nEvery Wednesday for four consecutive weeks in September\n2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT \n\nDay 1: September 6\nDay 2: September 13\nDay 3: September 20\nDay 4: September 27\n\nAND \nEvery Monday for four consecutive weeks in October\n2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT \n\nDay 5: October 2\nDay 6: October 9\nDay 7: October 16\nDay 8: October 23\n\n\nExperience and Impact\nIn the Wharton ESG Executive Certificate for Financial Professionals program\, you will build on the foundation acquired in Wharton ESG Essentials to dive deeper into investment strategies that tap ESG data and insight — be it through accepted best practices or emerging levers. Whether you pursue fundamental analysis\, value-based investing\, factor models\, screens or tilts\, quant models\, event-based trading strategies\, impact investing\, or thematically oriented focused efforts on different ESG factors\, you will see the rapidly evolving frontier of the field and develop the skills needed to push it forward. The discussion will also look beyond publicly traded equities to private markets\, corporate and public fixed income\, real estate\, and alternative investment assets. \nYou will gain a better understanding of climate finance — how carbon markets and others drive the energy transition\, and how to identify firms benefiting from climate transition tailwinds as well as headwinds within and across industries. The program will examine perspectives on the green technology and innovation sector\, where cost curves are rapidly evolving\, threatening to sunset some industries while accelerating the growth of new ones. And you will learn to map green supply chains to see the bottlenecks that will generate short-term inflationary pressures and medium- to long-term investment opportunities. You will also learn about the rapidly growing market for green bonds and what they can and can’t offer in terms of impact. \nThe program will also explore geopolitical scenarios for the world economy over the next decade and their implications for portfolio construction. And from a governance standpoint\, you will learn about the risk factors that make some firms more likely to face shareholder activism and less capable or successful in their response. You will also develop tools and tactics for more sophisticated engagement with firms to unlock value. \nSession topics include: \n\nESG and Impact Investing\nClimate Finance and Economics\nShareholder Activism\nSocio-Political Risk\n\n\nThose interested in learning more about Wharton ESG Essentials\, or additional ESG specialized certificates\, can visit here. \nParticipants who have successfully completed Wharton ESG Essentials as a standalone program can apply for and enroll in a certificate track within one year of Essentials completion. \n\n\n\nMatt Bird\n\n\nMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
