Es ist wieder ein Monat vergangen, und unsere Kollegin Alexandra Herget ist erneut mit dem **Corporate Sustainability Briefing** bei uns zu Gast. Sie fasst alle wichtigen Neuigkeiten aus dem Nachhaltigkeitskosmos für Unternehmen kompakt zusammen – auch wenn es diesmal schwerfällt, sich kurz zu fassen, denn in der EU ist derzeit eine Menge los. Wir sprechen über die Verschiebung der **EUDR**, die neue **Transparenzrichtlinie für ESG-Ratings** bei Finanzprodukten und deren Auswirkungen auf Unternehmen. Besonders motivierend: Die EU verzeichnet sinkende CO₂-Emissionen bei gleichzeitigem Wirtschaftswachstum. Zum Abschluss geben wir euch noch einen Impuls, wie ihr dem Argument der Überbevölkerung als Bedrohung für nachhaltige Aktivitäten begegnen könnt.

ESG dient als Maßstab für die Nachhaltigkeit von Unternehmen. ESG-Ratings sollen diese Nachhaltigkeit in eine Kennzahl verpacken und so für Orientierung am Kapitalmarkt sorgen. Aber geht das so einfach? Und wie hilfreich ist dieses Rating eigentlich für Anleger? Im aktuellen Podcast tauchen wir ein in die Welt der ESG-Ratingagenturen und schauen uns an, wie diese arbeiten, was uns ein Rating wirklich sagt und was Anleger in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeit beachten sollten.

ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is a very broad field of expertise with many challenges ranging from diversity, investments, and the impact on the environment that any organization has, and even many of these companies are redesigning their business models to adjust themselves to these challenges. However, one of the pillars of ESG is the ratings. In this episode, my guest is Florian Berg. Florian Berg is a research scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management; his research interests cover sustainable investing with a focus on ESG ratings, the disagreement between different rating agencies, and how it affects investors, firms, and academic research.  What is the definition of ESG rating, and why are they important for organizations?  How can we identify if a company has good performance in ESG ratings? What would be a good ESG rating? Is rating ESG rating agencies the solution for this task? What industries have more challenges measuring ESG ratings?

In June The European Commission released a series of measures aimed at bolstering its sustainable finance framework, including a new proposal to regulate ESG ratings providers, and the introduction of a new set of criteria for sustainable economic activities under the EU Taxonomy. As part of the package announced on 13 June 2023, the European Commission published the draft text of a regulation on the transparency and integrity of ESG rating activities (ESG Rating Regulation). In this podcast, we investigate: What the June 13 announcement includesHow do the changes look now & which companies are impacted by the ESG Rating Regulation What obligations are there for users of ESG RatingsWhat does any of this mean in relation to CSRDSpeakers:Moderator: Rowena Curtis, UK Marketing Manager, Business AssurancePresenter: Catherine Beare, Regional Director Business Assurance, UK and IberiaTo gain additional insights about this subject, be sure to explore the other episodes of the CSRD series available on the Assurance in Action Podcast network.

In this episode of the Sustainability Story, we tackle two areas of mass confusion in the world of sustainable investing: what should be done about the divergence in ESG ratings, and what works and doesn't work in impact investing. Deborah Kidd, CFA, talks with Dr. Julian Kölbel, Assistant Professor in Sustainable Finance at the Center for Financial Services Innovation at the University of St. Gallen and Research Associate at MIT Sloan, where he co-founded the Aggregate Confusion Project. Julian is also host of the podcast Innovations in Sustainable Finance. https://fsi.unisg.ch/en/insights/innovations-in-sustainable-finance/ With an estimated one-third of the world's assets under management being managed sustainably, ESG ratings have come under increasing scrutiny by regulators. We discuss issues around the reliability of ESG ratings, whether they should be regulated, and how investors can make sense of them. Our conversation then turns to impact investing, where we learn about evidence-based strategies and the key component necessary for actually making an impact.

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing has grown in popularity in recent years. As a result of major investment firms and individual stockholders making ethical and social considerations in their investing, firms and corporations have developed ESG rating matrices to grade publicly traded companies on their commitment to diversity and the fight against climate change.These ranking systems, however, have raised eyebrows in light of recent news that major tobacco companies are receiving higher ESG scores than the electric car manufacturer, Tesla. Serious questions are being raised about the reliability of these rating systems as tools for investors, and whether a company's focus on diversity and inclusion on its board of directors should be considered an ethical investment, even if its main product is responsible for millions of deaths every year.

Alec Crawford welcomes Bonnie Wongtrakool to the Stay podcast, a show about sustainability, technology, artificial intelligence, and the individual. Bonnie is a chartered financial analyst and the global head of ESG Investments and portfolio manager at Western Asset Management Co. and is joining Alec to discuss environmental, social and government (ESG) focused investing during Women's History Month. Bonnie explains how she came to ESG by happenstance, as she was previously working as a mortgage portfolio manager. After expressing her interest in something outside of mortgages, her senior management at Western Asset asked her to look into ESG, as they had been hearing about the need for more sustainable investments from international clients.Western Asset Management is a global fixed income manager with $400 billion under management. Headquartered in Pasadena, California, they also have eight other offices around the world. Western Asset Management manages all types of fixed income, including multi sector mandates, absolute return, corporate only mandates, emerging market, dedicated bank loans, municipal bonds, mortgage backed securities, and asset backed securities. Their investment horizon is long term and they adopt a fundamental value active management approach. They also prioritize ESG, incorporating it into all their mandates to assess a security's intrinsic value. In 2017, the company recognized the trend of ESG and asked the speaker to lead the initiatives in the area.Bonnie is the global head of ESG investments and a portfolio manager at WAMCO. Her role involves leading ESG initiatives such as research, engagements, and strategy while working with other groups within the firm such as client services, legal and compliance, and information technology. As a portfolio manager, she also manages broad sector portfolios.When it comes to ESG investing, the process is integrated into the investment process from a bottom-up perspective. This includes research analysts creating ESG frameworks for each subsector and taking a forward-looking approach instead of relying on historical reported data. Additionally, the speaker and his team also engage with management to assess the governance pillar.Bonnie acknowledges the difficulty of obtaining ESG information from smaller private companies, such as those issuing bank loans or high yield bonds. Despite this, they are still actively looking for ways to assess these companies and factor ESG into the investment process.Information flow and sustainability have greatly improved in recent years, particularly through the LSTA's ESG questionnaire and increased investor interest. However, the data is still relatively basic and conversations with issuer management are necessary to get more detailed information. For agency mortgage backed securities, we assess the ESG risks and opportunities and give a generally positive rating. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have both started issuing green and social impact bonds in response to investor demand, and we take these into account when selecting investments for our clients. When communicating our ESG strategy to investors, we emphasize the importance of sustainability, the use of proceeds, the collateral, the issuer, and the servicer.Timestamps0:00:02Heading: Interview with Bonnie Wongtrakool, Global Head of ESG Investments and Portfolio Manager at Western Asset Management Co.0:02:08Western Asset Management's ESG Initiatives0:04:01ESG Investing at WAMCO: A Conversation with the Global Head of ESG Investments0:08:57Exploring Information Flow and ESG Ratings for Corporate and Non-Corporate Fixed Income Securities0:12:11ESG Reporting and Climate Finance Challenges for Sustainable Investors0:14:28Conversation on Sustainable Investing and ESG Investing for Public...

This initiative works to reduce violent crime by maintaining strategic and effective partnerships through the Commonwealth by promoting firearm safety, investing in gang prevention, and supporting community policing in high-crime neighborhoods in order to get the most violent and repeat offenders off our streets." Bio: Attorney General Jason S. Miyares (https://oag.state.va.us/our-office/about-the-attorney-general) Attorney General Jason Miyares' story doesn't start in Virginia Beach, Virginia, but in Havana, Cuba when his mother, Miriam Miyares, fled communist Cuba, penniless and homeless. She taught Jason a love for freedom, democracy, and that America is indeed the “last best hope on earth.” A product of Virginia public schools, Jason graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration from James Madison University and received his J.D. from the College of William and Mary School of Law. He previously served as a prosecutor in the Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Office, where he worked alongside law enforcement to keep violent criminals off our streets and our communities safe. In 2015, almost fifty years to the day that she fled Cuba, Miriam was able to vote for her son Jason Miyares to represent her in the oldest democracy in the Western Hemisphere, the Virginia House of Delegates. While representing Virginia Beach, Jason was recognized as “Legislator of the Year” in both 2018 and 2019 from the College Affordability and Public Trust for his work on transparency and affordability in higher education, as well as by the Hampton Roads Military Officers Association of America in 2018. He was also recognized in 2019 by the Safe House Project for his work combatting human trafficking, an issue that his administration is prioritizing. Jason Miyares is the first Cuban American elected to the General Assembly, the first Hispanic elected statewide in Virginia, and the first son of an immigrant ever elected to be Attorney General. He is passionate about preserving the American Miracle for the next generation of Virginians. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 Twitter: @JasonMiyaresVA @ileaderssummit @AmericasRT @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

ESGs are one of those topics that, IMO, everyone should understand. And what they do and do not mean. For better or worse, ESG ratings will, and already are, have a profound impact on how business is done, on emerging regulations, and in the world of corporate investment. There's a lot to unpack. For this week's episode, I was joined by Gracee Shorter, who is a sustainability solutions provider at Ecovadis to help break it down. Enjoy!   Interested in supporting the show?
