SUMMARY:Legal & Governance Trends for Asset Management Firms
DESCRIPTION:Legal & Governance Trends for Asset Management Firms – This meeting has evolved as the thinking around corporate governance\, shareholder engagement\, and active litigation has developed and matured. It began as a forum for public pension plans focused primarily on corporate governance and then became the meeting known as the Evolving Fiduciary Obligations of Pension Plans\, taking on a more shareholder engagement perspective. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA few years ago\, again as the openness to and use of these tools became more developed\, the meeting was renamed to the Evolving Obligations of Institutional Investors so as to reflect the growing acceptance and usage of active engagement and shareholder litigation abilities by asset management firms globally. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNow the meeting has achieved its maturity as the forum assessing and evaluating Litigation\, Legal & Governance Trends for Asset Management Firms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by iimag\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-investing/ \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:ESG or Sustainability: You Choose
DESCRIPTION:As an ESG practitioner\, you now have two choices: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can double down on the (delusional) notion that ESG makes the world better (instead of the reality that it’s predatory delay\, which Alex Steffen defines as “the blocking or slowing of needed change\, in order to make money off unsustainable\, unjust systems in the meantime” – I can hear you objecting as I write\, but I encourage you to read this definition carefully and challenge yourself to leverage evidence to prove it wrong.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOr \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can embrace bona fide sustainability\, which ensures its claims by gauging impacts vis-à-vis ecological ceiling and social foundation thresholds (sometimes visualized as a Doughnut\, thanks to Kate Raworth’s 2012 reinterpretation of Barbara Ward’s 1974 conceptualization of social “inner limits” and ecological “outer limits” for the United Nations). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n​— From ESG or Sustainability: You Choose by Bill Baue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a Deep Dive with Bill Baue\, author of the IE Magazine article\, ESG or Sustainability: You Choose \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Deep Dives\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeep Dives are hour-long Zoom Meetings: Live Q&A Sessions (as opposed to our Zoom Webinars\, where the audience is in View-Only Mode) between the author(s) or subjects of a Magazine article and our members. Be sure to read the article in question and come bearing questions! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeatured Guest\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBill Baue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs an internationally recognized expert on Sustainability Context (Thresholds & Allocations)\, Thriveability\, and Online Stakeholder Engagement\, Bill Baue catalyzes systemic transformation. As a serial social entrepreneur\, he has co-founded and instigated several enterprises: r3.0\, Science Based Targets\, Sustainability Context Group\, Sea Change Radio\, and Currnt. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaue currently serves as Senior Director of r3.0 (Redesign for Resilience & Regeneration)\, a not-for-profit common good that networks a global community of Positive Mavericks focused on transcending incrementalism to trigger necessary transformations that enact living systems principles. In this role\, he serves as the Systems Convener for the Connecticut River Valley Bioregional Collaborative of the Capital Institute’s Regenerative Communities Network. His most recent major writing is as author of the White Paper From Monocapitalism to Multicapitalism: 21st Century System Value Creation (December 2020). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBaue has worked with prominent organizations across the sustainability ecosystem\, including Audubon\, Cabot Creamery Coop\, Ceres\, GE\, Harvard\, several United Nations agencies (UNCTAD\, UNEP\, UNGC\, UNRISD\, etc…)\, Walmart\, and Worldwatch Institute. He serves on the Board of Co-op Power and as Senior Advisor to Preventable Surprises\, and he is a certified Prosocial facilitator. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHe lives near the Connecticut River Valley bioregion\, where his daughters Clara\, Emma\, and Aoife periodically visit. He is a diehard Deadhead who enjoys camping\, hiking\, mountain climbing\, kayaking\, yoga\, meditation\, and dancing contact improvisation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://twitter.com/ImpactEMagazine\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.

SUMMARY:Climate Risk North America 2022
DESCRIPTION:Climate Risk North America- Climate change could pose a serious threat to the stability of the US financial system and its ability to sustain the American economy. Already it is impacting—or is anticipated to impact—nearly every facet of the economy. Without urgent action\, the effects of climate change could damage the productivity of the economy. This will ultimately undermine its ability to generate employment\, income and opportunity.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Economist‘s Climate Risk North America US convenes investors\, regulators\, policymakers\, sustainability and finance executives\, as well as scientists to discuss the impact that climate-related risks will have on businesses\, and how management can respond. The event will examine ways of measuring exposure to physical and transition risk\, and how companies can best work together to improve climate disclosure. Our panel of experts and thought leaders will assess the tools and methodologies needed to model climate scenarios\, as well as the opportunities that emerge for businesses when transitioning to a low-carbon company.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver three days\, participants will discuss the case for speedy action on climate risk. Day 1 will examine climate-change risk management within financial services.  Day 2 will evaluate the tools and methodologies needed to analyse climate risk. Day 3 will tackle climate mitigation in high-risk sectors.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/category/climate/ \n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Future of ESG Data – Tackling Greenwashing
DESCRIPTION:Join Neudata for our first Deep Dive into the series “Future of ESG”\, as we discuss tackling Greenwashing\n\n\n\nTackling Greenwashing\n\n\n\nIn partnership with Morgan Stanley as Diamond sponsor. \n\n\n\nThis event is exclusive to Neudata and Morgan Stanley Buy-Side clients. \n\n\n\nESG topics continue to be popular with institutional investors\, particularly for those looking to understand how ESG data can help them both uncover new investing opportunities and de-risk their portfolios. \n\n\n\nThe rise in ESG’s popularity has created another concern — greenwashing. Given that ESG reporting often occurs in an unregulated environment\, firms are likely to share positive ESG information and hold back on reporting metrics that could be considered as adverse. \n\n\n\nJoin Neudata on February 17 as we discuss the issues and solutions that have helped reduce some of the bias in models based on self-reported ESG data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by neudatalab\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.
