A new guide released by the We Mean Business Coalition the research shows us that people are more likely to buy from, work for, admire, and speak well of companies that take climate actions such as reducing carbon emissions or investing in clean energy. In a complex and fast-evolving global landscape, and an often-polarized political environment, businesses are taking an increasingly cautious approach to climate communications and advocacy. However, this research shows that it is much better to lead responsibly and speak confidently on climate action. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dRbjSWY3

Ceres is proud to support a powerful letter signed by 39 global investors, representing $3.75 trillion in assets, urging the SEC to examine whether listed energy companies are fully complying with an SEC rule requiring the disclosure of critical accounting estimates and assumptions. The letter explains that without such disclosure investors lack visibility into the financial impacts of climate change. Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gswmn4pN

I'm excited to share my op-ed, Investors are ramping up climate advocacy, with all eyes on COP29, published today in Reuters. “Investors the world over are calling on governments to use every tool in their toolbox, from fiscal carrots to regulatory sticks, to ensure industries can pivot and prosper in a clean energy future.” More asset managers and owners are joining global #climateaction initiatives, committing to #netzero emissions targets, and investing in #climatesolutions. But even with all the private sector leadership, progress remains too slow to meet global emissions targets. That's why over 500 investors signed the #2024GlobalInvestorStatement, calling on governments to take urgent action and support climate solutions. Governments now face a crucial moment to deliver on climate commitments that will define their economic futures. Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/gctzsfzJ #policyadvocacy #COP29

A new analysis released by Climate Action 100 shows increasing corporate momentum on climate action across the U.S., but the clean energy transition is not happening fast enough. While we’re seeing emissions decline in the U.S. due to business action and a suite of federal regulations and state policies aimed at curbing emissions deeper, the U.S. is not on track to meet its goal of cutting emissions in half by 2030. Read Mindy Lubber's latest op-ed in ImpactAlpha that lays out some clear next steps for business to accelerate the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable economy: https://bit.ly/3YaU1M3

Today, Climate Action 100 , of which Ceres is a founding member, released the latest round of company assessments against the Net Zero Company Benchmark. The good news is that most of the world’s largest emitting companies have set net zero goals by 2050 or sooner. And these corporate emitters are moving to decarbonize operations—especially companies in the electric power, transportation, and heavy industry sectors here in the U.S. Despite these significant accomplishments, most of the initiative’s focus companies are still not meeting all the expectations of the Benchmark in terms of delivering a comprehensive strategy that maps out how they are going to achieve their goals. Companies need to step up and speed up the development of comprehensive climate transition action plans. Despite steadily declining emission reductions, the U.S. is still not on track to meet its goal of cutting emissions in half by 2030. Extreme weather disasters like Hurricanes Helene and Milton continue to increase, wiping out entire communities and economies. We need companies to meet the moment and accelerate their climate action. Discover more of this year’s key findings by visiting this link: https://bit.ly/4f4cksY
