Tim Crockford leads the Regnan Equity Impact Solutions team. He previously managed the Hermes Impact Opportunities Equity Fund from its launch in December 2017, having co-founded the Hermes Impact team in 2016. Tim joined Hermes Investment Management in 2009 as a research analyst for the European Equities team and became lead portfolio manager of the ESG-integrated Hermes Europe ex-UK Equity Fund in 2015, which he also managed until he left Hermes.About RegnanRegnan is a responsible investment leader with a long and proud heritage providing advice and insights on important environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues. Regnan was established in 1996 to investigate and address ESG-related related sources of risk and value for long-term shareholders in Australian companies. Building on that expertise, in 2020 Regnan expanded its capabilities into responsible investment funds management, backed by the considerable resources of Pendal Group (ASX:PDL), the Australian investment manager and owner of J O Hambro Capital Management. They have offices in Sydney, Melbourne and London.Key Points: Engagement and stewardship is a hugely important part of impact investing. “It’s all part of the same strategy to really try and democratise it as an investment category, to broaden access to impact investing.” “I think one of the cultures within the investment team is this concept of constant improvement, so the strategy, the process, the philosophy is identical to the one that we founded back in 2012, we started building in 2016, and launched in 2017.” On systems change - Our SDG taxonomy is the centerpiece. The taxonomy is basically what helps us identify what systems we’re going to be moving towards. It is a process and a list of economic activity in product and services that are being produced by companies that help achieve specific SDG targets. “I hope to see that all Article 9 business takes much more nuanced and thoughtful approach to classifying which companies they will ultimately invest and allocate their capital towards, and which they aren't ... ... I think ultimately, businesses change and businesses can reinvent themselves, which is something that that needs to be reminded. We have some great examples in our portfolio of companies that have transitioned from perhaps in the industries that have been extractive industries and negative industries in the past towards, you know, positive areas like renewables in renewable energies, but ultimately, it's much more complicated and much more qualitative than a simple scoring system can ever help you achieve.” Education is key. Being able to help investors that are new to sustainable impact investing to understand and decipher this alphabet soup of terminology is key, because it allows them to quickly or more quickly align, their own objectives with the products that are available to them on the market.  Further education and refinement of the terminology is key.  Fund managers that are perhaps newer to the game, should try and be vigilant and careful with how they label their products, not just from a regulatory point of view, but also from a naming convention point of view. Because it makes a big difference in helping the broader understanding of people who are just learning about this space as we speak. The future belongs to everyone Good businesses exist to solve problems. Look beyond the marketing material and imaging to really challenge the investors to tell you what they want to achieve and tell you how they want to achieve it. Leaders are innovative and sometimes have to rewrite the rules. Time Stamp:[0:00:50] Intro[0:02:30] What is sustainable and impact investing?[0:06:44] It takes time.

He is also the co-author of New Text Book on ESG Investing by the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute (CFA UK) Highlights: Looking beyond the causal drivers into more active stewardship and long term sustainability There is a spectrum of capital and the markets will decide on how to react to corporates without sustainability strategy or if they decide not to price in carbon A lot of companies are over-borrowing from human capital, environmental and natural capital or cutting R&D ‘We want to avoid companies creating contingent liabilities or liabilities you don’t see on the balance sheet, which are typically extra financial, call them ESG.’ We will need abatement in hard to abate sectors like cement, fertilizers, flying, steel making, aluminum, plastics, or all that. Integrated vs exclusionary ESG vs positive impact Degrowth movement vs growth and decoupled growth ‘You need systems thinking in combination with personal agency’ ‘Stewardship Code 2020 is going to be a really important piece ... because it's putting the onus on a lot of people in the investment chain to report in a much more transparent way. I'm hopeful that is going to raise the bar in terms of what we're looking for on a systems level.’ Time Stamp: [03:38] What is sustainable and impact investing?

Andrew Parry is Head of Sustainable Investing at Hermes Investment Management.  In this episode of Impact Leaders, Andrew shares his insights from years of experience in sustainable investing and why he is optimistic about the direction where we are heading. Responsible investing has always been at the core of Hermes, and they have been at the vanguard of ESG investing for more than three decades. Hermes is in fact a founding signatory of the Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI) when it was launched by the UN in 2006. Hermes was established in 1983 as the principal manager to the BT Pension Scheme and, as of December 2018, it managed £33.5 billion of assets and engaged on £389.4 billion in assets. The company now employs 200 investment and stewardship professionals, with 448 total staff, in its London head office, Singapore and New York. What sets Hermes apart is the focus on stewardship in impact investing. Andrew says, “we don’t want to be absentee landlords”. They have been actively engaged with government, shaping policy and standards as well as recognising the need to create demand for positive impact.  Highlights of this episode include: * How to take impact investing from private markets into the public markets * Why it is important for companies to be socially responsible * From Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) exclusions of negative screening to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) * Building great Impact Investment Funds * Focus on stewardship, influencing behaviours in government and creating demand * If you can measure it, you can manipulate it * Importance of impact narrative and setting clear goals which can then be reported on * How to avoid Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) washing and Man City’s 5 goals assumption * How millennials are inspiring Andrew and importance of learning from clients * How SDGs are the new opportunity Useful links: Hermes Investment Management - [https://www.hermes-investment.com/](https://www.hermes-investment.com/) Andrew Parry’s Linkedin - [https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-parry-bb48a79/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-parry-bb48a79/) Ørsted (formerly DONG Energy) - [https://orsted.co.uk/en](https://orsted.co.uk/en) PRI Principles of Responsible Investment - [https://www.unpri.org/](https://www.unpri.org/) UNEP FI Positive Impact Initiative - [https://www.unepfi.org/positive-impact/positive-impact/](https://www.unepfi.org/positive-impact/positive-impact/) Chapters: [4:10] Pivotal moments and changes in the last 30 years?

Katie Hyson, Director of Thought Leadership at Business Fights Poverty, speaks with Careen Abb, leader of the UN’s Positive Impact Initiative. During this podcast, Careen explains why addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their large financing gap, requires an impact analysis implementation framework to be applied up front. Careen highlights how a holistic approach to impact analysis, i.e. understanding both positive and negative effects, across the three pillars of sustainable development (social, environmental and economic), could not only help us to collectively develop new solutions to achieve the SDGs, but also reduce the costs involved in their delivery. With many organisations already mapping back their societal impacts to the SDGs during reporting season, Careen and her team are now creating useful tools to conduct impact analysis that can be applied ahead of programme or proposition delivery. Developed via the UN Environmental Programme’s Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) – the Positive Impact Initiative already has signatories that include financial organisations such as: ABN-AMRO, Aviva, BNP Paribas, ING Bank, Hermes Investment Management, Societe Generale, Triodos Bank and many others. Now Careen is on a mission to engage organisations from other sectors. As she says: ‘Only by working collaboratively will the Global Goals be achieved.’ At a time when many are calling for consolidation across the impact management space, with The Impact Management Project and The Corporate Reporting Dialogue amongst others exploring the topic – Positive Impact could also be an ideal way to deliver this consolidation and provide consistency – for businesses, financiers, investors and impact specialists. If your organisation is interested to know more about how the analysis and measurement of its positive and negative societal impacts could help deliver business and social value, then we would love to hear from you. Simply contact me directly on Katie@businessfightspoverty.org More can be found on the Positive Impact Initiative in the link below. In addition look out for Rethinking Impact to Finance the SDGs, a new positioning paper and call to action launching at the UNEP FI Global Roundtable in Paris on 26-28 November 2018, where Careen and her team will also be launching a set of tools for holistic impact analysis including a model framework for various financial instrument and asset classes, and the accompanying Radar tool.

We are at the nascent phase of developing enough metrics to measure companies' adherence to ESG standards, believes, Gary Greenberg, head of emerging markets at Hermes Investment Management. Greenberg, who manages the US$3.4 billion Hermes Global Emerging Markets fund since July 2011, reckons that over the next ten years as the internet-of-things become prevalent there will be sensors and demand-side companies that can be deployed to help measure compliance.
