ESG is a very broad topic to try and address for any organisation, leaving many scratching their heads on where to start with ESG reporting. Currently, there is no official certification for ESG, however there are a number of schemes that will give you either a score or rating for your level of compliance against their requirements. For those currently working towards one of these schemes, you may already have a solid foundation in place if you're certified to one or many ISO Standards. In this episode, Ian Battersby and Ali Henshaw discuss ESG compliance and how elements of an ISO Management system can help with ESG reporting.   You'll learn ·      What is ESG? ·      Is ESG reporting required? ·      Is ESG a nice to have or good solid business practice?  ·      Is ESG certifiable? ·      How can ISO Standards help to address the 3 pillars of ESG? ·      How ESG compliance helps to combat Greenwashing Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      ESG Audit     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:00] Episode summary: Ian and Ali will be discussing how ISO Standards can help with ESG reporting.   [02:20] What is ESG? – ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Analysis and evaluation against these three elements help organisations to consider different areas within their overall sustainability profile. The Environmental section looks at issues surrounding climate change and actions to address an organisation's environmental responsibility. This includes monitoring and management of your energy consumption, waste management and pollution. It also seeks to tackle how organisations can address, reduce and mitigate their overall environmental impact. The Social aspect is based around the relationships an organisation has with its stakeholders. This is focused on employees and looks at a broad range of topics including employee wellbeing, fair and competitive pay, benefits and human resource related policies. Considerations can also include wider business relationships such as supplier relations, local community and government work. [05:00] The pillars of ESG aren't silos – You shouldn't approach each pillar of ESG in isolation, as they cross over in a lot of areas. For example, in environmental management you may manage hazardous substances, you'll have a duty to ensure those substances don't pollute the surrounding area or bodies of water. However, you will also need to consider the health and safety aspect of storing and working with that material. So already you have 1 issue that crosses both the Environmental and Social pillar of ESG.  [05:50] What does the Governance pillar cover? – Governance criteria focuses on creating a business environment that is fair, transparent, and accountable. Considerations in this area include board composition, fairness in pay structures and executive compensation, business ethics and risk management. [07:05] What types of ESG reporting are required?  – For small organisations, there is currently no set requirement as it stands, but you many encounter stakeholder or customer requirements that encourage ESG reporting on some level. For larger organisations at certain sizes there are mandatory reporting frameworks that you will be required to fulfill. At the moment it's quite sector specific but this is a trend that will only increase over time. Like with anything new, this is likely to trickle down to smaller organisations over time, however there will likely be funding and grants available to assist when that time comes. [08:25] Is ESG a nice to have or good solid business practice?  If you want to be a sustainable business, with good legacy that has the ability to grow and develop, ESG is a fantastic tool. Investors are now looking for sustainable businesses, it's become a market trend for an ever increasingly environmentally conscious consumer base. You either need to move with the times of get left behind, and sustainability is one key factor that will determine which of those categories you fall into. [09:50] Which ISO Standards can support ESG?: From a holistic point of view, the structure of ISO standards, the plan do check Act (PDCA) cycle, the need for monitoring and measurement and the need for improvement supports the principles of ESG in terms of quantifiable results. The additional aspect of having set objectives and proof of tangible improvement actions was something that fulfilled CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), which in turn has been superseded by ESG. ISO Standards high-level structure and life cycle approach lend themselves to support various aspects of ESG, depending on the Standard you implement. ISO 14001 for example, would support the environmental pillar, as it looks at your significant aspects and impacts in addition to that of your supply chain. You'll need to factor these into your objectives and overall business strategy. ISO 45001 would tackle elements of the social pillar as it directly addresses the well-being of your employees. It also includes a clause for the consultation and participation of workers, so work directly with employees to identify and address risks that may be missed by management. [13:40] Is there a certifiable Standard for ESG?: Not currently, but an ISO guidance document is in the works. Standards that address core elements of ESG include ISO 26000 (Social Accountability) and ISO 20400 (Sustainable Procurement). Again, these aren't certifiable, but provide invaluable guidance. Guidance documents have the advantage of being selective in what elements you decide to adopt. The ESG one in development is a good example, ESG as a topic is huge, a smaller organisation may not realistically be able to implement all of the advice. But, it can be used as a starting point for a materiality assessment that will allow you to be selective of the core subjects you apply to your business. The idea of guidance documents is not to be a bolt on, as those quickly get forgotten. It's all about embedding their elements into existing processes. [17:10] Utilising elements of ISO Implementation for ESG reporting:  If you've already got an ISO Management System in place, i.e. ISO 14001 or ISO 45001, then you'll already have objectives, processes  and monitoring & measurement in place to address those elements. ISO 26000 is another good example as it covers a wide range of topics, including human rights, labour practices, the environment, community involvement and development, consumer issues and fair operating practices. Some may not be applicable to you, but as mentioned, it's a guidance document so you have the freedom to be selective about the aspects you incorporate into your management system. You need to decide what really applies to you. It's better to prioritise and take 10 steps on one subject vs 1 on 10 subjects. [20:25] ESG isn't a once a year activity:  There's no tick box exercise that you can do once a year and claim compliance, ESG is an on-going endeavor for as long as your business is running. It's a way of operating, much like ISO Standards. It will develop and grow with your business.   [21:30] Join the isologyhub and get access to limitless ISO resources – From as little as £99 a month, you can have unlimited access to hundreds of online training courses and achieve certification for completion of courses along the way, which will take you from learner to practitioner to leader in no time. Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [23:36] Will elements of ESG become certifiable down the line? We'll never say never! It's still very much a developing field. There is currently a framework being developed by the International Standards Organisation, it's currently in draft form.   Ali herself is on the commenting committee for it's development, and can confirm that the framework is looking at the links between certifiable Standards and the tangible application.   ISO Standards require third-party verification of your claims before getting certified. In that aspect, they're the perfect tool to provide tangible proof that you are doing what you say you're doing, but only in select aspects.   ESG is broad, almost too broad to certify. It's not really feasible for one person to come in and assess a whole business like they would do for an ISO Assessment, there's simply too much to cover!   [25:00] The trouble with ESG verification: Currently, a lot of voluntary schemes require you to report against and fulfill, but they are very sector specific because a general one would be too broad and likely will not cover every aspect appliable to every business. Schemes out there are doing something to battle greenwashing, as the environmental aspects are easier to verify, however social aspects are a lot more tricky and can get even more complicated outside of the UK where there is no HSE annual reporting available. [26:20] How can you support the Social aspect of ESG?: Measuring your social value can difficult, many think of education as the solution. Here are some ideas to consider: ·      Working with local schools – Improvement projects driven by Student run business studies ·      Work experience ·      Charitable work – allow staff to have a charity day as part of a benefits package [28:10] How can we prevent the greenwashing of ESG compliance?: Government Bodies are working to tackle this. It's being built into legislation to prevent greenwashing in future where self-policing hasn't gone far enough. Trade Associations are also pushing their members towards more legitimate frameworks to ensure they do remain accountable and transparent about their activities in relation to ESG compliance. [30:00] What resources do Blackmores have to help? We've developed an ESG Gap Analysis, based on the guidance provided in ISO 26000 Social Accountability. This ESG Gap Analysis will highlight where you're already compliant and where there is work to be done. You may be surprised to see that you're more compliant that you think! Especially if you're certified to one or many ISO Standards. We also have a Materiality Assessment, which will help you to determine which topics are of importance to your business and your stakeholders. You can take the findings from both to help develop your ESG Strategy. If you're not mandated to do any reporting, you can leave it at that. However, you may want to consider sector specific frameworks to get ahead of the curve for when elements of ESG do become mandated down the line. [36:00] Where should you start with tackling ESG using ISO Standards? If you're certified to one or many ISO Standards, then you will have processes in place that can support an ESG initiative program strategy, and you can make it as big or as small as you want. Start by looking at your environmental, social and governments impacts and work to embed ESG into your existing ISO Management System before they become mandated by stakeholders and legislation – being ahead also feeds into the principles behind social responsibility. You're embedding a culture, and it becomes a norm which can be developed further. Then, when legislation or customer requirements come in, you're already prepared to answer. Also, with ESG there is a focus on people and you can't have a successful business without good people. ESG isn't only attractive to your customers, but also to potential employees who will want to work for ethical, sustainable businesses. If you aren't keeping up and fulfilling that, you will struggle to find new talent. It also goes without saying that being ESG compliant will attract consumers. Greenwashing, as frustrating as it is, exists for a reason - because people want businesses to be sustainable. People wouldn't lie about it if it wasn't important to someone, so stand out by beating the greenwashing allegations and take the right steps towards tacking ESG.

Is ESG compliance becoming a necessity for companies to maintain their customer base and grow their business? In this thought-provoking episode of the Innovation Meets Leadership podcast, host Natalie Born sits down with Bob Woosley, a national practice leader at Fraser and Dieter, to discuss the evolving landscape of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliance and its impact on mid-market companies. The conversation delves into the growing pressure from public companies and government regulations on suppliers to provide decarbonization and emission information, regardless of their stance on ESG. Woosley emphasizes the importance of preparing for these requirements to avoid losing customers and hindering business growth. 00:00:00 - 00:05:59 The Evolution of ESG Compliance - ESG started as a requirement driven by pension funds investing in private equity firms - Private equity firms initially pushed back on ESG, but some embraced it to manage risk - The focus on ESG compliance shifted from being seen as "woke" to a necessity for business growth 00:06:00 - 00:12:59 Supply Chain Compliance and Scope 3 Emissions - Mid-market companies are receiving letters from customers demanding emission and decarbonization information - California passed a law requiring companies doing business in the state to provide this information, regardless of the SEC's stance - Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions in a company's supply chain, are a key focus for compliance 00:13:00 - 00:18:59 The Importance of Preparing for ESG Compliance - Mid-market companies are often unprepared to measure and report emissions, lacking internal expertise and tools - Ignoring ESG compliance could lead to losing customers and being unable to respond to RFPs - Companies should take steps to prepare for compliance, regardless of their political stance on the issue 00:19:00 - 00:23:59 Seeking Help for ESG Compliance - Mid-market companies should seek help from advisory firms to assess their readiness and develop a compliance plan - The demand for ESG compliance services is expected to grow as more companies become aware of the requirements - Fraser and Dieter is focusing on helping mid-market suppliers comply with ESG requirements, as larger firms focus on public companies 00:24:00 - 00:26:00 Key Takeaways and Final Thoughts - Companies should not ignore ESG compliance, as it is becoming a real requirement for maintaining and expanding their customer base - Putting political views aside, preparing for ESG compliance is crucial for business growth - The Private Equity 360 podcast will feature an upcoming episode on how private equity firms are addressing supply chain challenges with their portfolio companies Quotes: "Our North Star, It's helping companies grow and create value across their life cycle. And keeping in good stead with your customer is no joke." - Bob Woosley "Do not sleep on ESG, put your political views aside. This is real. If you don't want to keep your customer, then fine. But if you want, if you want to expand revenue and make sure that you're ready to take on any customer that might be asking for this, then this is something you need to take seriously." - Bob Woosley Connect with Bob: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-woosley-955488/ LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone empower their businesses through collaboration, innovation, and transformation by sharing this episode or clicking here to listen to our previous episodes.

For CRE investors, an understanding of environmental, social and governance considerations has quickly gone from a nice-to-have to a must-have, according to Uma Moriarity, global ESG lead for CenterSquare Investment Management. And that will only intensify given mounting regulation and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. Welcome back to Sustainability Street, our podcast on the intersection of commercial real estate and the world we live in. In my latest episode, Moriarity and I discuss the drivers that make having an ESG strategy compulsory rather than voluntary, and how her firm tracks and manages these factors in its listed and private real estate investments.

Bedrijven moeten voldoen aan de ESG-regels. ESG staat voor Environmental, Social and Governance, of de milieu-, sociale en bestuurscriteria die gebruikt worden om de duurzaamheid van bedrijven te kwalificeren.

Welke prijs betalen we voor een zakelijk model dat vooral ten dienste staat van een industrie van consultants die de markt opzadelt met extra kosten zonder een meerwaarde te leveren?

Let's break down the jargon: starting with investor classifications.   Did you know that your level of wealth impacts how you can invest in the share market? In this episode, we hear from RMIT Associate Professor Chris Berg who thinks it's “deeply unethical” that retail investors (‘mum and dad' investors) don't have access to the kind of products that rich people do and so are shut out of some of the most lucrative and risky investments… but accountants say there's a good reason for that.   We also learn about the murky areas of ‘ethical' and ‘sustainable' investing and how it differs from ‘responsible' investing. If an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is labelled sustainable, is it irresponsible for it to have a large holding in a fossil fuel company? Is ESG reporting the best way to judge which companies are good to invest in?  Life and Shares is a four-part series that helps you understand the rules of the game so you can make informed decisions. This podcast is presented by The Ethics Centre, an independent not-for-profit that advocates for a more ethical society.

June 2, 2023: A Note from Marguerita Cheng, CFP® Pro — I invite you to tune in for this week's episode of my podcast and video show, Margaritas with Marguerita, where for 15 minutes each Friday we start the weekend off by learning from industry experts how to flex our financial muscles.  Meet our guest: Liz Simmie, Co-Founder, Honeytree Investment Management Our Topic: Everything you need to know about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) Rita asks Liz:  What is ESG? Why are investors interested in investing in ESG and impact-related products? Is ESG political? How is ESG data being standardized? What are the options available for investors looking to invest in ESG products? About our guest: Liz co-founded Honeytree Investment Management, an asset management firm focused on responsible growth based in Toronto. Together with the team, she manages Honeytree's concentrated active investment strategies for institutional and private clients.  Honeytree believes what is traditionally seen as ‘ESG' data is just as important to assessing a company's long-term growth and risk as traditional fundamental data – and we integrate them both equally in our investment process.  We are proud to be one of the handful of women-led responsible asset management firms globally leading the conversation.  Prior to founding Honeytree, she worked at Bristol Gate Capital Partners, a leading active management firm, and before that, she worked in quantitative market research for Ipsos. Liz has BA in Economic Statistics and History. Liz lives with her husband and three kids in Toronto.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 398 of the In The Tank Podcast. Why does it seem like there are so many businesses and industries that are doing things that undermine themselves? Whether its beer companies offending their main consumers, or Disney tripping over themselves to be less family friendly, or oil companies trying to go "green," there seems to be no shortage of this trend. Is ESG to blame? The ITT crew sifts through some of these companies ESG reports to see what they can find.OPENING CHIT CHAT - DURHAM REPORTThe Federalist - Durham's Much-Needed Record Of Deep-State And Dem Corruption Proves Conservatives Were Spot-Onhttps://thefederalist.com/2023/05/16/durhams-much-needed-record-of-deep-state-and-dem-corruption-proves-conservatives-were-spot-on/PRIMARY TOPIC - ESG IS RUINING EVERYTHING(video) Miller Lite Adhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mob-7CaROgINYP - Go woke or lose bonuses: CEOs are ‘forced' into Dylan Mulvaney deal systemhttps://nypost.com/2023/04/12/go-woke-or-lose-bonuses-ceos-forced-into-cei-system/Anheuser Busch - Environmental, Social, And Governance Report 2022https://www.ab-inbev.com/assets/pressreleases/2023/AB%20InBev_2022%20ESG%20Report_FINAL.pdfNewsweek - Sports Illustrated Under Fire for Transgender Model on Coverhttps://www.newsweek.com/sports-illustrated-under-fire-transgender-model-cover-1800710Disney - ESG Reportinghttps://impact.disney.com/esg-reporting/FreeBeacon - Go Woke, Go Broke: Disney to Axe 7,000 Jobs as Company Faces Backlash Over Left-Wing Agendahttps://freebeacon.com/latest-news/go-woke-go-broke-disney-to-axe-7000-jobs-as-company-faces-backlash-over-left-wing-agenda/Climate Depot - BP buys massive stake in ESG company's climate change projecthttps://www.climatedepot.com/2023/04/11/bp-buys-massive-stake-in-esg-companys-climate-change-project/Carbon Brief - COP28 team marshals oil and gas industry alliance ahead of climate summithttps://www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/cop28-team-marshals-oil-and-gas-industry-alliance-ahead-of-climate-summit/SECONDARY TOPIC - DEBT CEILING Washington Post - Senate Democrats ask Biden to ready 14th Amendment, bypass GOP on debt limithttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/17/debt-ceiling-democrats-discharge-petition/Politico - Biden gives clearest indication to date he's willing to make a critical debt ceiling compromisehttps://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/17/biden-debt-ceiling-compromise-00097388

E-S-G Environmental - Social -Governance Dr. Rupini Deepa Rajagopalan is head of the ESG office at Berenberg Bank, the second oldest bank in the world. She built up the ESG office and strategy together with a team, from scratch, after joining in 2018. She actually coined the term "finance with a heart" and feels like incorporating ESG standards in financial analysis is indispensable. Though it may sound a bit technical this episode is for everyone. As ESG is becoming a buzzword and regarded more and more as a widespread solution to "cleaning up" the dirty parts of the investment management and finance industry that is crucial to propping up those industries that are currently wreaking havoc on the world and pushing us closer to climate, societal and ecological breakdown, it is favorable that we try as best we can to develop an understanding of the concept and to question it as well. Should you be an investor or working in the finance industry then you may be interested in what Rupini can share from her experience. It is important to Rupini that investors and asset managers look further than solely at financial information and to consider adopting a more holistic view when deciding where money will flow. Since greenwashing is a problem in every industry and I want us all to stay informed and engaged I asked Rupini to elaborate on a few critical questions: - Is ESG really enough to truly transform the investment industry? - Is it genuine and progressive? - Are there enough genuine change agents in the industry or is it being used as a "sustainable front" to be able to continue business as usual with a "green image"? - How is incorporating ESG compatible with the fiduciary duty of investors to get returns? The investment industry is definitely one that needs a big chunk of transformation and the integration of a moral compass that is not geared towards money over everything. Rupini is a very genuine, kind woman who expressed how fortunate she feels that she is possibly able to play a role in bringing about change and hopefully a bit of heart - to the industry.

Do we do enough to hold corporations, organizations, and politicians accountable when they behave badly? From toxic leaks to greasy politics, today's episode investigates some of the top stories in the country, and what Canadians are doing about them.  4:09 | Chief Allan Adam didn't mince words on the March 6 episode of Real Talk. Straight up, he called Imperial Oil's nine-month toxic tailings pond leak "a cover-up". Chief Adam's comments have aged well, as Ottawa's stepping in to demand action while the Alberta Energy Regulator sits on its hands. We continue our coverage of this explosive story.  18:33 | Pierre Poilievre knows China didn't throw the 2021 federal election...but that won't stop him from suggesting that's the case. Is this a Trump 2.0 "stolen election" play? Ryan looks back at a week-old op/ed from the Conservative Party's 2021 national campaign manager and stacks it up against the Opposition leader's statement yesterday. (They don't square up.) 26:40 | "Conflicts of interest run deep in Saskatchewan politics. This is why I'm grateful for Real Talk." Ryan reads an email from Real Talker Steve relating to our coverage of the Legacy Christian Academy scandal in Saskatoon.  WATCH OUR INTERVIEW RE: THE $25M CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT: https://www.youtube.com/live/_sWH8J81fSI?feature=share&t=1400 35:25 | The Jasper SkyTram opens in a week!

Does it makes financial sense for corporations and organizations to actually invest in the Environmental, Social, & Governance movement? Onyen CEO Laurie Clark, twice named one of Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women, gets into recent polling around how the average Canadian actually feels. Fascinating stuff.

Keeping profits, social responsibility, and public relations on an even keel is no mean feat when you're a government contractor. UK services company Serco employs tens of thousands across the world in areas as diverse as defence, justice, and healthcare.  Rupert Soames joined Serco as chief executive in 2014 and completed his tenure at the end of 2022. In this straight-talking interview, Fidelity International's Global Head of Investment Research Ned Salter hears about his ESG lessons and in particular the social component: could Serco pay their staff more? Yes, but they'd lose business. Should they carry out controversial government policy? Yes, if it's the mandate of a democratically elected government. Is ESG investing a good thing? Not in its more zealous forms, no. Hear him explain these answers in this episode, and why he sees public scrutiny as an essential part of the job, and then listen to Fidelity's investment team explain the significance of what's been said here.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) is an increasingly-used term.... but what does it mean and how should leaders think about its objectives?

Should sustainability be our new standard for investing? According to Larry Fink of BlackRock (more than $7 trillion in assets) the answer is yes. The ESG movement is an investment trend focused on Environmental, Social, and Governance matters in assessing a company's long-term value. American investors have put more than $20 billion into ESG funds in 2019. Will ESG save the world from climate change, increase social and racial justice, eliminate fossil fuels, etc.? This is a new variant of the prior ideas of Corporate Social Responsibility, Social Responsibility Investing, and the Stakeholder theory of corporations. Is ESG being used to alter the structure of the capital markets? Does it really offer superior returns? This is a complex issue and we can see it manifested in how corporate CEOs are more willing to be involved in politics. Join Ed and Ron to discuss these ideas and see if we should be worried, or just concerned?
