A sustainable future is an outcome of accesible technology which creates shareable resources for all.

As usual, well said by David Blood - "Sustainable investing is three things at the same time: difficult, essential and not enough." "...Let’s all be clear, a pensioner living in a 3.0°C hotter world, with degraded eco-systems and significant economic inequality, will not enjoy the fruits of their retirement. Acting on the sustainability crisis is our fiduciary duty..." And a call to action for asset owners and allocators: "1. First, acknowledge it is part of your fiduciary duty to assess sustainability impact, both positive and negative. 2. Make impact an objective, and use it as a source of return. 3. Set your parameters and actively engage with your investments. 4. Commit to capacity building, including helping address data and reporting challenges. 5. Consider policy as a tool in your toolbox – we need nothing short of sweeping revision of public policy throughout the world. 6. Collaborate – by influencing peers and sharing research, ideas and resources. The sustainability challenges are too great. We must work together to solve them." We've been proud to work with Generation Investment Management and The Generation Foundation throughout our first 10 years of the Intentional Endowments Network and look forward to continuing this work toward a common mission over the next 20. #ESG #sustainableinvesting #sustainablefinance #climaterisk #inequality #justtransition #endowments #foundations

Many companies no longer utter these three letters: E-S-G. Some, including Coca-Cola, are rebranding corporate reports and committees, stripping ESG from titles. Advisers are coaching executives on alternative ways to describe their efforts, proposing new terms like “responsible business.” On Wall Street, meanwhile, some firms are closing once-popular ESG funds as interest fades. Here’s why: https://on.wsj.com/3vqOwOu

Tax leaders today must manage the impact and identify the opportunities brought by ESG-related tax policymaking, while contributing to their companies’ sustainability transformation. At the ESG Forum, tax directors and managers meet on a regular basis to exchange on their approach, challenges, best practices, and achievements. Recently, we tackled such topics as varied as #CSRD and tax reporting, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, green tax #incentives and regulations, tax risk management, Pillar 2, carbon taxes, and more.
