We talk a lot about fair prices. But what if we told you the price tag on your food is lying to you?In this episode of What The Field?!, we dive into true cost accounting — what it is, why it matters, and how it can change the way we think about food. Our guest Pietro Galliani from True Price and the Impact Institute breaks down the invisible costs behind what we eat: environmental damage, underpaid farmers, and social inequalities that never make it onto the label.We also explore how businesses and consumers can start closing the “true price gap” — without waiting for someone else to fix the system. Because change doesn't start in boardrooms. It starts at the checkout.

A new report from the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute explores whether key climate technologies are breaking through at the scale and pace required to address the climate crisis. William Nicolle, the author of the report, explains that despite climate tech's vast potential for emissions reduction, there remains a tricky road ahead as most of these technologies are economically uncompetitive or as yet too immature to easily scale. We'll hear how processes might be improved to better understand complex dependencies, and also to better inform strategic policy, investment and organisational decisions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#203 Counting More Than Cash: Can CFOs Handle Human Value? with Arjan Udding and Werner Schouten https://open.spotify.com/episode/4XDwgSdG36iRyx8uhedCK4 In this episode of the GrowCFO Show, host Kevin Appleby engages in a thought-provoking discussion with Arjan Udding, Director Impact Institute, and Werner Schouten, Director Impact Economy Foundation. The conversation centres around the evolving role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in the realm of sustainability. The guests make a compelling case for the CFO to transition into a Chief Value Officer (CVO) role, emphasizing the need to balance the traditional focus on financial value with equal consideration for social, human, and natural value creation. They delve into the importance of impact accounting, a methodology that quantifies non-financial value and integrates it with financial metrics. Arjan and Werner share examples of European institutions, such as Rabobank and Triodos, that have successfully adopted impact accounting to inform their decision-making and long-term investment strategies. Throughout the discussion, the speakers highlight the need for a harmonized, accessible language for impact reporting. This, they argue, is crucial for driving sustainable business practices and investment decisions across organizations of all sizes, as it enables a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that shape a company's long-term viability and societal impact. Key topics covered include: Introduction and background of the guests, Arjan and Werner Debate on whether the finance leader should be called a CFO or CVO Role of financial metrics in sustainability and the need to expand them Integration of financial and non-financial metrics through impact accounting Examples of companies adopting impact accounting Challenges and opportunities in implementing impact accounting The broader impact of impact accounting beyond just ESG Conclusion and call to action for CFOs to embrace the role of Chief Value Officer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maxJKO35A7s Links Arjan Udding on LinkedIn Werner Schouten on LinkedIn Kevin Appleby on LinkedIn GrowCFO Mentoring Timestamps 0:0:00 - 0:0:19 Introduction and background of the guests  0:0:19 - 0:1:35 Debate on whether the finance leader should be called a CFO or CVO  0:1:35 - 0:3:15 The need to redefine value beyond financial value  0:3:15 - 0:6:00 Expanding financial tools to include social and environmental value  0:6:00 - 0:7:30 The CFO's role in owning the balanced scorecard  0:7:30 - 0:12:30 Integrating financial and non-financial metrics through impact accounting  0:12:30 - 0:16:00 Examples of companies adopting impact accounting  0:16:00 - 0:20:00 Challenges and opportunities in implementing impact accounting  0:20:00 - 0:22:30 The broader impact of impact accounting beyond just ESG  0:22:30 - 0:24:00 Conclusion and call to action for CFOs to embrace the role of Chief Value Officer Find out more about GrowCFO If you enjoyed this podcast, you can subscribe to the GrowCFO Show with your favorite podcast app. The GrowCFO show is listed in the Apple podcast directory, Spotify and many others.

Like other game-changing technologies before it, artificial intelligence is expected to unleash new wealth creation, resource reallocation and societal change. But the precise forms that this will take – and at what speed – is difficult to predict. Richard Mylles, the author of a new UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute report on the theme, joins us to explain how AI's consequences for human capital can be optimised, focusing on education, productivity and health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's agrifood industry produces enough calories to feed the global population but it creates negative externalities across the climate, nature and health sectors. Global sustainability goals have changed what crops the agrifood industry grows and how. Such dynamics leave the sector structurally unprepared to deliver on these goals. However, deploying mature, high-impact investable solutions in the short term that strengthen innovation could be a boon to the industry. The UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute report analyses promising solutions and outlines the role of capital markets and investors in facilitating their development and deployment. We discuss this with William Nicolle, ESG analyst in the UBS Sustainability and Impact Institute.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In partnership with the Apparel Impact Institute, Philip Berman takes an in-depth look at its new The Climate Solutions Portfolio which aims to find, feature and fund any initiative with the potential to reduce energy use and/or greenhouse gas emissions at scale in the industry.  And it has up to 250,000 dollars per year to award to projects that have the data to show they have the potential to make a big impact.   In this first episode, Philip Berman was joined by Kurt Kipka, the Apparel Impact Institute's Chief Impact Officer, and Linda Greer, who sits on the Institute's advisory panel and is one of the experts assessing the grant applications.  They talked about, why the Institute believe their new approach is needed, why there is no online registry of proven solutions, and what the Institute is doing about it, how the grants are being funded, and previous winners. In episode 2, which is released on 29 February, there will be lots of tips on how to apply and what their team is looking for.  Applications open from 1 to 31 March, 2024. If you want to find out more about the Portolio check out its dedicated site where you can also contact their team if you need help with your application.

Fashion makes us feel elegant and affluent, creating unique looks that allow people living in crowded societies to set themselves apart with unique styles. But fashion also comes at a substantial environmental cost. According to many estimates, 10% of the world's carbon emissions and 20% of wastewater are generated by making, shipping, and selling clothing, much of which ends up in landfills long before the clothing's usefulness is exhausted. Meet Kurt Kipka, Chief Impact Officer at the Apparel Impact Institute. This nonprofit is working to reduce the apparel industry's negative environmental and social consequences. The Apparel Impact Institute created a methodology called Clean by Design that helps textiles and clothing manufacturers identify issues, get funding to trial new strategies, and propagate solutions across the industry. The organization emphasizes the importance of objectively measurable progress toward using less energy, water, and chemicals and reducing waste in the manufacturing process. The American Chemical Society, funded by the plastic industry responsible for the rise of the materials that enable fast fashion, claims the volume of fashion production will grow by 300% before 2050, which is unsustainable. Our society might be buried in its clothing waste. Kurt outlines the path to a more sustainable fashion industry, including using natural and recycled fiber, decarbonizing production, and shorter supply chains built around local clothing hubs that sell, resell, repair, and recycle clothing. Today's fast fashion item that costs $10 and is worn three times before being discarded could become a durable piece of clothing that is sold, resold, loaned, and traded in many times, with the fashion label earning revenue at each turn as the facilitator of the experience of shopping for quality, long-lasting clothing.

Glenn van der Burg ging tijdens Impact op New Business Radio in gesprek met Tjeerd Krumpelman, Global Head of Advisory, Reporting & Engagement bij ABN AMRO. Waar staat de bank als het gaat om het realiseren van zijn duurzame doelen? In augustus 2019 beloofde toenmalig ABN AMRO bestuursvoorzitter Kees van Dijkhuizen, tijdens een bijeenkomst met internationale bankiers bij de Verenigde Naties in New York, dat ABN AMRO de komende jaren de leningen aan olie- en gasbedrijven af zal bouwen en zich volledig zal gaan richten op duurzame energie. Honderddertig internationale bankiers, waaronder Van Dijkhuizen ondertekenden daar in New York de 'Principles for Responsible Banking', waarin ze beloofden meer te doen om de afspraken van het klimaatakkoord van Parijs te halen. Maar hoe zit dat met de beloftes? Is daar de afgelopen 2,5 jaar al iets van gerealiseerd? Waar staat ABN AMRO als het gaat om het realiseren van zijn duurzame doelen? Een partij die ABN AMRO hierin ondersteunt is Impact Institute. Glenn sprak met Adrian de Groot Ruiz, Executive Director van Impact Institute. In het programma Impact delen ondernemers en duurzaamheidsexperts hun visie en aanpak op business impact. Impact richt zich op managers, ondernemers en professionals die geloven in de positieve impact van organisaties op vraagstukken als energie, voeding, eenzaamheid en biodiversiteit. Hoe zorg je voor impact? Wat betekent dat voor de samenleving en hoe zien de nieuwe circulaire businessmodellen eruit? Met gasten in de studio, telefonische interviews en de laatste inzichten uit de wetenschap in vogelvlucht. Impact is elke tweede en vierde vrijdag van de maand tussen 14:00 en 15:00 uur te beluisteren op New Business Radio. Na de uitzending is het programma terug te luisteren als podcast via alle bekende podcast platforms en impact.radio.

Dr. Mihaela Ulieru is currently the Chief Alchemist at SingularityNET and President of the IMPACT Institute for the Digital Economy. The broadness of her background and expertise enable Dr. Ulieru to tackle problems from original perspectives which require a high level of interdisciplinarity - such as her large scale international collaborative projects aiming to make ICTs an integral component of policymaking for social innovation generation for a healthier, safer, more sustainable, and innovation-driven world Future of Medicine, Living Technologies - book chapter here and Emulating the Mind, recently coined in a book. On this episode we talk about: Dr. Mihaela's backstory and what she is currently working on? What is money? What is the currency? What are cryptocurrencies? Why do we need it? What are stable coins and what is the role of stablecoins? Why do we need it? What's CBDC? What do stablecoins or CBDC offer that the current currency/monetary system does not? What are the things that people understand, things that people don't understand about stablecoins? Cash advantage is privacy/anonymity in the face to face transactions, at least -- how CBDC can ensure that? What is preventing the adoption of stablecoins across the globe? Is this the future of money? Why, why not? FSB recently recommended against the use of stablecoins? What are your thoughts on it? How is Libra helping (not helping) the push for the adoption? What are they doing right or wrong? Reach out to Dr. Mihaela Ulieru via Linkedin.

Impact meten. Hier hebben we het dit keer over in onze podcast de Innovatie Ambtenaar. Onze collega Lysbet die als Impact Officer werkt bij Novum neemt ons mee in de verkenning naar het meten van onze impact. Dit horen we aan de hand van de casus waarbij we het effect van een vordering op ANW-klanten inzichtelijk maken. Hoe kunnen we meten welke impact onze innovaties hebben? Dit hebben we samen gedaan met Impact Institute. Meer informatie over dit project: https://novum.nu/impact-meten/

Michel Scholte is directeur bij het Impact Institute een spin off van de True Price foundation. In een eerdere podcast werd zijn compagnon Adrian de Groot Ruiz al geïnterviewd, die uitgebreid vertelde over het berekenen van de werkelijke prijs van producten. Het Impact Intstute kijkt nog een stap verder. Bedrijven creëren namelijk ook waarde zoals werkgelegenheid en dragen bij aan de menselijke ontwikkeling van het personeel. Door ook deze zaken inzichtelijk te maken met data is het de bedoeling dat bedrijfsbesluiten niet meer alleen genomen worden op basis van financiële criteria. Daar komen vijf kapitaal stromen bij: geproduceerd, menselijk, intellectueel, sociaal en natuurlijk kapitaal. Het jaarverslag van de toekomst bestaat dan ook uit verantwoording over al deze componenten. Door op deze manier te gaan werken wordt er daadwerkelijk fundament gegeven aan de verschuiving van het creëren van aandeelhouders waarde naar waarde voor alle belanghebbende.

Voor wie ook maar een greintje vertrouwen heeft in het marktmechanisme is de logica zo klaar als een klontje: als vervuilen duurder wordt, loont het om schoon te produceren. Als het uitstoten van CO2 geld kost, zijn bedrijven eerder geneigd klimaatvriendelijk te werken. Waarom is dat dan nog steeds niet zo? Wat maakt eerlijke prijzen lastig? Welke stappen worden er ondernomen? En wat kun jij daar zelf aan doen? We vragen het in deze aflevering van Ondernemen in de nieuwe economie aan: Friso Spoor - mede-oprichter The Coffee Quest, Floor van den Elzen - associate bij het Impact Institute en Maria van der Heijden, directeur van MVO Nederland. Presentatie door Glenn van der Burg. Meer weten over ondernemen in de nieuwe economie? Ga naar www.nieuwebusinessagenda.nl
