Podcasts about hershel

Nach Disco Elysium gelingt es ZA/UM hier erneut, ein grandioses Rollenspiel mit einer interessanten Welt und einem etwas anderen Protagonisten zu kreieren. Diesmal spielen wir eine Spionin namens Hershel, welche auch wieder unter den Fehlern ihrer Vergangenheit leidet. Die ganze Geschichte entwickelt sich aber natürlich erst nach und nach. Es gibt 15 Fertigkeiten, welche wir nach Belieben skillen können, daraus ergeben sich teils andere Wege und Entscheidungen. Stets im Hinterkopf müssen wir Belastungen halten, denn sollten unsere drei Leisten Angst, Delirium oder Anstrengung zu hoch sein, verlieren wir Skillpunkte. Das Spiel und die Welt sind unfassbar spannend, man braucht allerdings ein wenig Zeit, um anzukommen.

In this episode, Cambria Allen-Ratzlaff, Interim CEO at the PRI, is joined by Mark Anson, Chair of the Investment Committee, and Hershel Harper, Chief Investment Officer at the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust. A PRI signatory since 2010, the Trust has long been recognised for its leadership in responsible investment, stewardship and manager engagement.Together, they explore how a large, closed pension plan integrates responsible investment into fiduciary decision-making, covering human capital management, energy transition risks, data centres, manager selection and the role of ESG data.OverviewDrawing on decades of experience across public pensions, endowments and foundations, Mark and Hershel reflect on how responsible investment has evolved from a niche concern to a core part of managing long-term risk and return.The conversation highlights how the Trust approaches stewardship not as a values exercise, but as a practical way to strengthen governance, resilience and performance, always grounded in its obligation to deliver healthcare benefits for retirees.Detailed CoverageHuman capital as a core assetThe guests discuss why workforce practices, board quality and leadership development are material investment issues. From employee training and compensation to board diversity and skills, effective human capital management is framed as fundamental to long-term value creation.Collective engagement and investor leadershipMark and Hershel explain why large asset owners must collaborate to drive change. Initiatives such as the Midwest Investors Diversity Initiative demonstrate how coordinated engagement can improve board diversity and corporate sustainability while supporting better business outcomes.Energy, water and data-centre riskThe discussion turns to energy policy and the growing demand driven by AI and data centres. The guests outline how the Trust evaluates resource efficiency, water use, worker safety and community impact, recognising the need for “all-of-the-above” energy solutions delivered responsibly.Manager selection and Capital ConnectHershel introduces Capital Connect, the Trust's forum designed to broaden access to diverse and emerging managers. Both guests stress that expanding the opportunity set improves risk-adjusted returns, and that investing with diverse managers is not concessionary, but disciplined and performance-driven.ESG data, fiduciary duty and decision-makingMark and Hershel reflect on their recent research into fiduciary responsibility and inconsistent ESG data. They explain why ESG ratings vary so widely, and why asset owners must first define their objectives, regulatory constraints and risk priorities before selecting data tools.Context mattersA recurring theme is that responsible investment is contextual. Different investors (pension funds, endowments, foundations) face different liabilities, regulations and time horizons, shaping how ESG considerations are applied in practice.For more information about making the case for responsible investment, check out our database: https://public.unpri.org/investment-tools/investment-case-databaseChapters00:00 - Introduction & Backgrounds03:29 - Human Capital Management & Board Diversity08:55 - Midwest Investor Diversity Initiative11:41 - Energy Policy & Data Centers18:17 - Water Resources & Community Impact19:39 - Capital Connect & Diverse Managers26:40 - Fiduciary Dilemma & ESG...
