The World Economic Forum projects that by 2050, climate change could cause 14 million additional deaths and $12 trillion in global healthcare costs. And this will exacerbate global health inequities with our most vulnerable populations, including women, youth, elderly, lower-income groups, and hard-to-reach communities bearing the brunt of this change. We think we know the culprits…but do we really?The fact is, the healthcare sector is responsible for almost 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions and has a carbon footprint equivalent to 514 coal-fired power plants. And if the healthcare sector was a country, it would be the 5th largest polluter on Earth. (Source)In this episode of the Syneos Health Podcast, Nick Kenny is joined by Syneos Health colleagues Sharon Gordon, leader of our Social Impact practice and Beth Anne McPheeters, head of ESG programming, to discuss the intersection of climate change, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), and healthcare.The conversation delves into the responsibilities of big industries versus collective action, the role of ESG in driving meaningful change, and the importance of integrating ESG into business goals to mitigate risks and create value, ultimately benefiting both business and patient outcomes—reinforcing that addressing climate change and promoting ESG is not just corporate responsibility but also essential for improving global health and equity.For more on how Syneos Health is committed to making purposeful actions upholding our responsibility to create a more sustainable world for each other, read our 2023 ESG Report.Check out more of our insights on the role of ESG in the healthcare industry:BLOG | Pharma Reputation Slipping, Leaving Fewer Allies in Intense EnvironmentBLOG | 4 Reasons ESG Priorities are Becoming More Important in the Life Sciences IndustryClinical Trials and Environmental, Social and Governance: Plans for Operations LeadersThe views expressed in this podcast belong solely to the speakers and do not represent those of their organization.

The ESG Report podcast is hosted by Tom Fox. In this special 3-part series, I take a deep dive into EV battery regulation in the US and EU. In this Part 3, we consider EU legislation and regulatory requirements for EV batteries and EV battery supply chains.  Pamela Fierst-Walsh is a prominent voice in critical mineral supply chain issues and a recognized leader in policy development, ESG issues, and international affairs.  From 2017-2021, Pamela drove the reorientation of U.S. diplomacy toward prioritization of minerals supply chains as the U.S. State Department's Senior Advisor for Critical Minerals.  She coordinated the U.S. The Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Energy worked together to support National Security and Economic Council agendas. In June 2021, she played a key role in shaping the Biden Administration's 100-day Supply Chain Review on Building Resilient American Supply Chains to improve U.S. competitiveness for clean energy and technological advancement, which set the foundation for greater U.S. clean energy investment under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and other acts.  She regularly advises senior U.S. officials, private sector actors, and foreign counterparts.  In 2023, she joined the Board of IMPACT, a non-profit organization focused on empowering communities through greater governance of the natural resources they rely upon.  She is the CEO of PFW Advisory, LLC, and is based in Washington, DC. Pamela's viewpoint on EU battery regulation is that it is a revolutionary measure in establishing detailed categories and requirements for batteries, such as portability, usage in cars, and electric vehicles, regardless of where they are manufactured. Drawing from her extensive expertise, Fierst-Walsh has noted the similarities between EU regulations and the existing requirements in the United States, particularly in terms of sustainability and reusability scores.

The ESG Report podcast is hosted by Tom Fox. In this special 3-part series, I take a deep dive into EV battery regulation in the US and EU. In this Part 2, we consider the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on EV battery production and purchase.  Pamela Fierst-Walsh is a prominent voice in critical minerals supply chain issues and recognized leader in policy development, ESG issues, and international affairs.  From 2017-2021, Pamela drove the reorientation of U.S. diplomacy toward prioritization of minerals supply chains as the U.S. State Department's Senior Advisor for Critical Minerals.  She coordinated the U.S. Departments of Commerce, Defense and Energy as they worked together to support National Security and Economic Council agendas.  In June 2021, she played a key role in shaping the Biden Administration's 100-day Supply Chain Review on Building Resilient American Supply Chains to improve U.S. competitiveness for clean energy and technological advancement, which set the foundation for greater U.S. clean energy investment under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and other acts.  She regularly advises senior U.S. officials, private sector actors, and foreign counterparts.  In 2023, she joined the Board of IMPACT, a non-profit organization focused on empowering communities by greater governance of the natural resources they rely upon.  She is the CEO of PFW Advisory, LLC and based in Washington, DC. Pamela's perspective on the Inflation Reduction Act, especially on the consumer tax incentives for EV battery purchases, is shaped by her deep understanding of supply chain dynamics, regulatory requirements and the legislation. She views the Act as an excellent opportunity for consumers to significantly reduce the cost of EV battery purchases, while also stipulating manufacturers to track and ensure the traceability of components in their supply chains for compliance with the Act. She underlines the broader implications of the Act, which beyond consumer incentives, nudges manufacturers to adapt their supply chain practices and consider potential reputational risks associated with non-compliance. Pamela sees the Inflation Reduction Act as a multifaceted initiative that benefits consumers and prompts manufacturers to align their operations with regulatory requirements and evolving business norms.

Tom Fox hosts the ESG Report podcast. In this special 3-part series, I examine EV battery regulation in the US and EU. Part 1 considers US Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOCs) for EV battery production. Pamela Fierst-Walsh is a prominent voice in critical mineral supply chain issues and a recognized leader in policy development, ESG issues, and international affairs. From 2017 to 2021, she drove the reorientation of U.S. diplomacy toward prioritizing mineral supply chains as the U.S. State Department's Senior Advisor for Critical Minerals.

She is the CEO of PFW Advisory, LLC, and is based in Washington, DC. Pamela's perspective on the Department of Energy and Foreign Entities of Concern (FEOC) definitions is centered around the vital role these definitions play in unlocking the $6 billion funding available for domestic battery material processing, manufacturing, and recycling. She firmly believes that by understanding and complying with these definitions, businesses can tap into the incentives provided by the bipartisan infrastructure law. Her extensive experience in supply chain management, where she has seen the value of comprehending the entire chain process, from material extraction to manufacturing and recycling, has shaped her perspective. Pamela encourages businesses to engage with the Department of Energy to ensure compliance and ultimately contribute to advancing the American economy.

Matterport's Annual ESG Report Highlights the Importance of its Digital Twin Technology in Reducing Carbon Footprint SUNNYVALE, California, Monday, December 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), today released the company's second Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report assessing the impact of Matterport's products and programs toward driving sustainable and equitable outcomes. The report, based on 2022 data, builds on the company's inaugural report last year as the company further establishes company-wide ESG goals and commitments. In its second year of reporting the impact of Matterport's digital twins on reducing carbon footprint, the findings continue to demonstrate Matterport's technology is a highly effective alternative to completing tasks that historically required travel. The ability to interact and work within spaces such as construction sites, manufacturing facilities, or simply tour a home without having to physically travel to the location has enabled people globally to work smarter and more sustainably, reducing the need for business travel and easing the strain on the environment. This has helped Matterport's customers avoid an estimated 756,952 tonnes of carbon emissions since the company began tracking the measure in 2021. “We have made excellent progress on our agenda to deliver measurable sustainability benefits to our customers while improving our own operating efficiency through strong governance and execution ,” said RJ Pittman, Chairman and CEO, Matterport. “Matterport's Digital Twin Platform has become a critical lever for our customers and their properties to operate more sustainably and efficiently from anywhere in the world, and our next generation of intelligent digital twins will further amplify the sustainable impact of our platform.” The company has continued to embrace its remote first workplace model to create a flexible work environment while reducing its physical footprint and increasing productivity. This has led to steady reductions in direct emissions, and a shift in the company's supply chain management, including improving the recyclability and reusability of its cameras components. The company's total greenhouse gas emissions increased 37% to 11,669 tonnes as a result of increased Scope 3 emissions, which are primarily accounted for on a spend-basis, with increases to outside services like advertising and consulting contributing to the overall increase. Matterport reported several updates to its Social track across Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Employee Engagement, and Health, Benefits and Wellness, with highlights including results from the company's first survey tracking employee sentiment of inclusion and belonging, as well as the first companywide week dedicated to community service, Matterport Cares. Additional highlights from the report included: 1. Carbon Emissions Avoided: Over 2.5 million Matterport digital twins were created in 2022, helping Matterport customers avoid an estimated 382,640 tonnes of carbon emissions– totaling 756,952 tonnes since the company began tracking the measure in 2021. 2. Enterprise Carbon Calculator: In 2022, the company began working with an outside carbon accounting firm to develop an emissions calculator for enterprise customers, providing a personalized view of each customer's aggregate digital twin usage to determine cost, time and emissions savings using the Matterport Digital Twin Platform. The calculator is expected to be available in beta for Tier-1 enterprise customers by Q1 2024. 3. Supply Chain Improvements: In 2022, Matterport reassessed and changed its supply chain for the Pro3 camera and its manufacturing process. Previously assembled at the company's headquarters from more than 100 components manufactured and shipped in by multiple suppliers, the modularized Pro3 camera is now manufactured by an experienced global partner, with key critical components created in the same region to minimize our logistics carbon footprint. 4. 100% Electronic Waste Recycled: In 2022, 100% of Matterport's electronic waste was sent to a certified specialist recycling firm. 5. Significantly Reduced Product Footprint: Roughly 99% of Matterport's camera components are recoverable and reusable, while the remaining 1% that is unrecoverable is responsibly recycled. Total emissions from the Pro3 are 46% less carbon intensive than the Pro2, on a per camera basis. This is due to several factors including the Pro3 weighing less than the Pro2 and our updated supply chain that minimizes the distance between component manufacturing and camera assembly. 6. Business Leadership: In 2022, Matterport received Comparably awards in seven categories, which are provided annually to companies recognized by their employees as having a strong company culture. Awards included: Best Company Compensation, Happiest Employees, Best Career Growth, Best CEOs for Diversity, Best CEOs for Women, Best Places to Work in the Bay Area and Best Company Outlook.

Edgren's perspective on the regulation and impact of PFAS “forever chemicals” in manufacturing is that it is a game changer in the materials compliance world. She explains that PFAS are synthetic chemicals with tight carbon-fluorine bonds that have been used for their fantastic material properties, but these chemicals do not break down and have been found in water supplies and soil, raising health concerns. Edgren notes that regulators are starting to include PFAS chemicals in regulatory instruments, and states are being aggressive in addressing the contamination. She also highlights the supply chain disruption that will occur as major manufacturers like 3M discontinue products containing PFAS, emphasizing the need for manufacturers to consider the broader impact of PFAS regulations on their operations.

Think about it in 3 steps, based on your level of control and influence: 1 - Start by reflecting on yourself: take a personal Inventory of yourself and your practices, and personal education.  2 - Then reflect on your work/your team: take a second inventory, this time of your work- what biases are built in there, what do you have the power to control. 3 - Finally reflect on your environment/industry/larger picture. Think about the larger systemic changes of the way you work and the way your company does business.

Welcome to the PRmoment Podcast.Today we're chatting with Andrea Hartley, founder and CEO of Skating Panda about the role of communications in organisations' approach to ESG.For those of you that are not aware -  ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a set of standards measuring a business's impact on society, the environment, and how transparent and accountable its governance is.Skating Panda is a social and environmental impact creative consultancy in LondonDo check out our latest free-to-attend webinar “The State of Social 2023: Channel Disruption, Influencer Growth and The Great Data Integration Challenge.”Thanks as ever to the PRmoment Podcast sponsors The PRCA. Here's a summary of what Andrea and PRmoment founder Ben Smith discussed: 2 mins What is the role of communications within the ESG strategy of most organisations?5 mins Thinking about the internal ESG stakeholders within an organisation, how do you see the role of each? Who needs to own ESG within a firm?8 mins Where is the intersection between the financial reporting investor relations part of ESG and the softer communications strategy?8.30 mins How often is the central ESG role of the PR/comms team to simply PR the ESG report?12 mins How PR and comms people can grow their ESG knowledge? Subscribe to PRmoment's weekly ESG review here.13 mins Is the PR/Comms team best placed to write a company's ESG Report?14 mins Take a look at some good ESG reports on the ESG Foundation's website.16 mins Andrea highlights the Global Reporting Initiative and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) as ESG frameworks for you to look at.18 mins Andrea discusses the difficulties of greenwashing, ethics authenticity in the communications of ESG and purpose.“We have planetary boundaries, there are boundaries to what our planet can do and we've got to remember that”23 mins Andrea talks us why are the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals a useful way to understand, formulate and plan an organisation's approach to sustainability and ESG.26 mins Much of the work that PR and marketing people do has the objective of persuading people of the need to buy more stuff. To what extent can the ever-increasing demand-led consumerisation of modern society correlate with the need for us all to consume less?“The risk is to confuse increasing revenue with buying more stuff.”Here is some more information about The ESG Awards.

2022 saw higher numbers of FCPA enforcement actions, settlements, and criminal prosecutions of individuals. One of the most important developments was the update of policy in the Monaco Doctrine, which was elaborated on in the Monaco Memo, providing important guidance for compliance professionals. Tom Fox joins Michael Volkov to discuss some of the more interesting cases from the past year.Tom Fox is hailed as the Voice of Compliance, serving and evangelizing for the compliance community for over 15 years. He is the founder and creator of the Compliance Podcast Network where he hosts various podcasts, such as Innovation In Compliance and the ESG Report, and the Executive Leader at the C-Suite Network. Some ideas you'll hear them explore are:The DOJ is getting better at communicating with the compliance community through resolution documents like DPA, NPA, and, occasionally, declinations. These documents provide insight into the DOJ's thinking and approach to cases, which compliance professionals can use to gain a better understanding of how to approach compliance issues.In Tom's upcoming book, “FCPA Year in Review 2022,” he highlights the KT Corp bribery case, which went back to the basics in its old-school rendition of corruption: bags of cash money. The lesson here is that bribery can be as simple as a $50 slipped into a handshake.In the curious case of Glencore, the FCPA enforcement action taken against them reflects the DOJ's focus on defective cultures within companies. This case involved multiple enforcement agencies across multiple countries and multiple bribery schemes, rounding up fines and penalties totalling up to $1.1 billion, with $700M for FCPA violations, and $441M for price and market manipulation. Glencore had a culture that was committed to profit at any cost, and the company paid over $100M to third parties knowing that some of the money would be used to bribe officials in various countries.The Oracle case involving bribery and corruption involving gifts, travel, and entertainment should serve as a reminder to companies to review their gift, travel, and entertainment policies and ensure they are aware of how their business officials are spending their travel, per diem, and entertainment money.Avoid hiring third-parties recommended by or at the direction of a state-owned official or executive.The Lisa Monaco memorandum emphasizes the need for effective compliance programs and the benefits of voluntary disclosure, full cooperation, and timely and appropriate remediation. KEY QUOTE“Internal controls are not simply due diligence, distributors, et cetera. It goes down to your payments, schemes and how you pay your vendors should all be a part of your internal controls.” - Tom FoxResourcesTom Fox on the Web | LinkedIn | Twitter | Blog

David Gadis is the CEO of DC Water.  Prior to this, he was with Veolia NA and Indianapolis Water.  He joins Aquasight CEO Mahesh Lunani for a wide-ranging discussion, including how his experience in the private sector informs his management style when running a utility.A third generation water professional, Gadis looks at DC Water as an economic engine for our nation's capital.   This includes cleaning up waterways to enable economic development, and providing access for tourists in town for the cherry blossoms.  But it's also important to him to do the right thing - which meant turning former customers' water back on during COVID, and halting shutdowns.This caring approach is also how David approaches company culture at DC Water.  Within a few months of his arrival, he moved from a siloed approach to a more collaborative, inclusive one, where people of all backgrounds are both hired and heard.  He also focused on a strategic plan, closing aligned with new key performance indicators.Gadis also discusses infrastructure priorities including the DC Lead Free initiative, and the building of deep tunnels, which help mitigate flooding and will cut excursion into rivers and streams.    Advances in technology and innovation are exciting as well.DC Water is the only municipality that's produced an ESG Report.  But Gadis doesn't look at it as Environmental Social Governance specifically.  It's just a natural piece of their strategic plan.Finally, David discusses the leadership qualities of listening, being a people person, and rewarding your employees.  In fact, in terms of legacy, he's most concerned about being remembered for how he treated people.Links:DC Water Website:https://www.dcwater.com/David Gadis Bio: https://www.dcwater.com/person/david-gadisAquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

Today we took on the challenge of unpacking the SEC's proposed climate disclosure rules and their potential implications. To help us do so, we had a panel of experienced leaders in the space join for a lively discussion that we hope will provide clarity and understanding. Our panel today includes Travis Wofford, Chair of the Corporate Department in Houston and Vice Chair of the Global M&A Practice and Scott Janoe, Chair of the Environmental, Safety & Incident Response Section from Baker Botts, and Dan Romito, Consulting Partner with Pickering Energy Partners.The framework of our discussion included an overview of the proposed requirements and background on the buildup to the SEC's new proposals, the key SEC players involved (with some particular focus on the dissenting view from Commissioner Peirce), the likelihood of the proposed rules becoming final, what the disclosures would cost and the potential liabilities for public companies, the potential unintended consequences of these new regulations, whether the SEC should be the governing body addressing these disclosures, implications for small to large companies, the importance of materiality, and the "climate industrial complex," just to hit a few. We greatly appreciate Travis, Scott, and Dan sharing their perspectives and are hopeful these proposed SEC changes can be improved before they are ultimately implemented.For further reading, Baker Botts has published a thought leadership piece. Statements are also available from SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, Commissioner Hester Peirce, and Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw.Mike Bradley kicked us off with a look at equity and commodity performance for the week, noting US natural gas and Euro natural gas and commodity curves for natural gas vs. WTI crude oil. Colin Fenton helped us all make sense of the complex inflation situation with the Fed and talked about the recent inversion of the yield curve and how to interpret it.
