SUMMARY:LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO MAXIMISE SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
DESCRIPTION:Using Technology to Drive Success and Social Impact\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe increased digitalisation during the past few years\, accelerated by Covid-19\, has given many organisations a foundation for long-term growth. However\, as attention now shifts beyond the pressures of operating in a pandemic ridden economy\, organisations must focus on the next evolution of their business model to ensure they can deliver value to customers and succeed for years to come. In this panel\, you will discover how organisations can deploy and use technology in the most effective way\, closely aligned to their latest business drivers and any potential weaknesses.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRising to the Challenge of a Sustainability-Conscious World\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmployees and customers are now more socially and environmentally conscious than ever and expect these values to be reflected by both their employers and the organisations they turn to for products and services. This panel will take you through how companies are working to evolve their operational models to meet these new internal and external expectations while also ensuring they are set up to enjoy sustainable growth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:STRATEGIES FOR TRANSITIONING TO NET ZERO: LONDON
DESCRIPTION:Senior Leaders will share their insights LIVE at Bracken House\, London\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs energy and economic security concerns rise up the political agenda in Europe and beyond\, delivering the climate transition is more important than ever before. We simply cannot achieve long-term energy security and economic resilience without it. At COP26\, more than half of the UK’s largest businesses pledged to achieve net zero by 2050\, giving us a reason for hope. Yet actual progress remains slow and the challenge of reducing scope 3 emissions across the supply chain remains high. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt this one-day in-person event hosted by the Financial Times and Oliver Wyman\, join business leaders in London\, drawn from across industry\, to develop principles for delivering a successful climate transition\, examining in turn the domains of leadership\, the business system\, customers and finance.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThrough keynote presentations\, networking and hands-on discussion\, we will aim to define a clear roadmap towards delivering an impactful and commercially-smart climate transition. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey Discussion Points\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCorporate Climate Action \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow effective can advancement of net zero initiatives be in progressing both energy and economic security?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeading the Climate Transition \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy it is vital to establish the right climate ambition\, priorities\, and roles within your company to support the transition to net zero? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFinancing the Climate Transition \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow should funds be accessed (or provided) that will value and support a company’s climate goals and transition path? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:GreenFin - Aligning Sustainability and Capital Markets
DESCRIPTION:GreenFin Sustainable finance has exploded in the past few years. Corporate ESG ratings are now being seen by investors as synonymous with reduced risk and higher returns. ESG scores are being used to assess a firm’s creditworthiness and its desirability as a place to work\, and loans and bonds linked to sustainability performance are skyrocketing. The ESG marketplace has boomed and is now facing heightened scrutiny –– from media\, activists and regulators. It’s still the Wild West\, with a lack of common definitions and standards. Regulation is forthcoming. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs the Premier ESG event\, GreenFin 22 will convene an invitation-only audience of more than 1\,000 sustainability\, finance and investment leaders to share insights\, improve communication\, address the key challenges and showcase leading sustainable financial products and services. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by GreenBiz\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/category/sustainability/ \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:UN Ocean Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:PHOTO:Underwater Seascapes\, Anders Nyberg\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSave our Ocean\, Protect our Future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Ocean Conference\, co-hosted by the Governments of Kenya and Portugal\, comes at a critical time as the world is seeking to address many of the deep-rooted problems of our societies laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic and which will require major structural transformations and common shared solutions that are anchored in the SDGs. To mobilize action\, the Conference will seek to propel much needed science-based innovative solutions aimed at starting a new chapter of global ocean action. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the 2022 UN Ocean Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface\, is the planet’s largest biosphere\, and is home to up to 80 percent of all life in the world. It generates 50 percent of the oxygen we need\, absorbs 25 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions and captures 90 percent of the additional heat generated from those emissions. It is not just ‘the lungs of the planet’ but also its largest carbon sink – a vital buffer against the impacts of climate change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt nurtures unimaginable biodiversity and produces food\, jobs\, mineral and energy resources needed for life on the planet to survive and thrive. There is a great deal we still do not know about the ocean but there are many reasons why we need to manage it sustainably – as set out in the targets of Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe science is clear – the ocean is facing unprecedented threats as a result of human activities. Its health and ability to sustain life will only get worse as the world population grows and human activities increase. If we want to address some of the most defining issues of our time such as climate change\, food insecurity\, diseases and pandemics\, diminishing biodiversity\, economic inequality and even conflicts and strife\, we must act now to protect the state of our ocean. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by UN\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-lifestyle/ \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Localizing Action for the Ocean: Local and Regional Governments Special Event-2022 United Nations Ocean Conference
DESCRIPTION:Background\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2022 UN Ocean Conference offers a unique opportunity for cities and regions to mobilize and demonstrate leadership in taking action to protect our ocean and ensure that the ocean and its accompanying coasts are sustainably managed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocal and regional governments\, and their associations and networks\, recognize that the protection of the ocean is pivotal to the conservation of common and natural resources. Ocean and maritime ecosystems are a paramount source of biodiversity\, food and jobs\, and represent cultural values deeply embodied by traditional communities\, islands and coastal cities. The Special Event will be an opportunity to stress the presence of ‘urban-ocean linkages’\, and how local and regional governments should be engaged in global efforts and decisions to protect the ocean and maritime resources\, including food. The Special Event will also highlight the crucial role of multi-level governance and multi-stakeholder collaboration to strengthen the science-policy interface\, as well as to improve data systems and seek innovative solutions at all levels. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Special Event will create an opportunity for local and regional governments and their networks\, national governments\, and other stakeholders to exchange experiences and good practices of SDG 14 implementation at the local level. It will be a space for local and regional governments and other stakeholders to announce specific Ocean Action Commitments. Additionally\, it will facilitate a discussion on opportunities and initiatives that can support sustainable adaptation for coastal cities and regions\, including financing innovation and scaling up Ocean protection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by SustDev\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-lifestyle/ \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Next-generation continuity: Creating a culture of sustainability in business resilience
DESCRIPTION:Overview: \n\n\n\nInnovation in information technology is driven in part by changing demands. The transition to cloud-based data storage is an example of an innovative response that facilitates easier access to information while promoting operational resilience. There is now a shift from urgent resilience plans to more intentional strategies that are meant to address the next major disruption. But\, one crisis that needs urgent attention is climate change. As we quickly approach 2030 carbon-neutral goals\, it is important to understand the role of sustainability in business resilience and corporate continuity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith greater technology comes a greater burden on the energy systems of the world. Now that cloud technologies are maturing\, there is an opportunity to reexamine their impact on the environment. Storing massive amounts of data reliably comes with a significant energy outlay along with the need for massive amounts of space. Weighing the need for advanced technology with the responsibility to act sustainably will be at the heart of reducing the world’s reliance on nonrenewable resources. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile the pandemic pushed for immediate changes\, natural disasters and extreme weather events are exacting a similar pressure on companies to act more sustainably. Businesses in everything from financial services to retail are thinking about reducing their carbon footprint while accounting for the increasingly extreme conditions snarling supply chains and operations. But\, making changes to operations and processes comes with the challenge of justifying the cost outlay of a strategic shift. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgrammed by Economist Impact and sponsored by Everbridge\, this panel discussion will examine how companies can incorporate sustainability into their continuity and resilience strategies. \n\n\n\nKey questions:\n\n\n\n-How can distributors and consumers of technology incorporate considerations of sustainability into the next generation of information technology innovation? -How should companies think about adding sustainability into the calculus of business resilience? -What are some actions companies can take to reduce their reliance on nonrenewable resources? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
