Podcast appearances and mentions of pavan sukhdev

Welcome to Season 3 of Gigawaters, the Energy Voice podcast in collaboration with Ørsted, hosted by renewables reporter Michael Behr. This four-part series dives into innovation, decarbonization, biodiversity, and community impacts. In Episode 2, Adele Tharani, Ørsted's Global Commercial Sustainability Manager, joins renowned environmental economist and GIST Impact founder-CEO, Pavan Sukhdev. Together, they explore how the energy sector can harmonize with nature and local communities, maximize positive impacts, and measure the value of sustainable practices.

BIO: Pavan Sukhdev's remarkable journey from scientist to international banker to environmental economist has brought him to the forefront of the sustainability movement.STORY: Pavan ignored his investment rules and invested in a bond, which caused him to lose almost his entire investment.LEARNING: Don't make exceptions; the rules are the essence. Set up concentration risk limits. Diversify. “A lot of investment mistakes are about not following your own disciplines. Had I followed my own disciplines, I wouldn't be telling you this story.”Pavan Sukhdev Guest profilePavan Sukhdev's remarkable journey from scientist to international banker to environmental economist has brought him to the forefront of the sustainability movement. As CEO and Founder of GIST Impact, he collaborates with corporations and investors, leveraging impact economics and technology to measure a business's holistic value contribution to the world.Worst investment everPavan is a relatively disciplined investor who always tries to maintain his money's principal value by investing it wisely. For this reason, Pavan follows a couple of personal investment rules.First, wherever he invests, he either makes friends or has friends. Second, Pavan follows a strict logic when investing in financial assets—he only invests in sovereign bonds. Third, Pavan has set up a concentration risk limit of $100,000 for a single sovereign emerging market. He never invests more than $50,000 on a credit. Fourth, Pavan always reads about the company he wants to invest in to understand what it does and its credit rating. Fifth, Pavan typically invests in sectors where he would be above average in reading and knowledge about that company.Once, a friend came along and asked Pavan if he knew of a particular company with a bond earning 8.75%. Pavan hadn't heard about it. But he happened to know the family that owned it, and he was interested in it. Pavan decided to invest $100,000 instead of putting his maximum concentration of $50,000.As part of his investment strategy, Pavan reads about companies. A news flash said that the company was involved in a contract in Malaysia. Pavan thought this was great, but that was that.He never followed up on the news. It happens that the company lost the contract. Losing the contract was a big thing that caused the bond price to go down to $75 from $88. At this point, Pavan should have reduced his exposure by bringing the $100,000 down to $50,000, but he didn't. He continued to sit on the losses and hung on, and the price kept dropping. Finally, at some point, when it was just too low for it to make any difference, the company stopped paying coupons.Lessons learnedDon't make exceptions; the rules are the essence.Set up concentration risk limits and reflect the volatility of that asset.DiversifyDon't sit on losses.Andrew's takeawaysFollow and stick to a stop-loss system.Don't buy something just because you've sold something else.Actionable adviceSet your concentration risk limits, put your trading style in place, and diversify.No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsPavan's number one goal for the next 12 months is to get his company profitable because it's nice to be right, but it's better to be profitable.Parting words “All the best, guys. Invest wisely and invest well, and when it works, do...

We talk with Pavan Sukhdev, CEO of GIST Impact. Our discussion focuses on biodiversity and natural capital. Investors and companies are attempting to properly value our natural world to better manage risk and to meet the increasing demand for nature-friendly products and services from customers. Pavan shares his wisdom on how companies can better work in harmony with nature and what steps we can take to be better stewards of our natural world.

Et pour celui-ci, nous remettons le cap vers la terre ferme. Car la santé de l'océan dépend aussi… de l'agriculture.Les engrais chimiques boostent des algues qui menacent la biodiversité marine et provoquent des centaines de "zones mortes", sans aucune vie, le long des côtes et en haute mer. Et ces engrais causent aussi des déséquilibres dans les sols et l'air. L'agriculture du XXIème siècle est soumise à des injonctions contradictoires : elle devrait se passer d'engrais… car à long terme ils sont néfastes pour l'environnement… et en même temps elle doit nourrir toujours plus de monde.

First of all, I want to wish my fellow Canadians a very happy Canada Day and my American friends a great Independence Day! Welcome to my podcast episode 86 published on July 1, 2022, titled “ESG Picks. Great Corporate Citizens” — and presented by Investing for the Soul.

Great Corporate Citizens Now my first article has this title: ESG Investing: 7 Profitable Stock Picks for the Socially Responsible by Tezcan Gecgil on InvestorPlace.com. Here are Ms. Gecgil's stock picks and brief comments that generally relate to the latest material developments of the company. “Best Buy (BBY): A newly launched home pick-up recycling program will make it easier for customers to recycle old electronics. Deere (DE): Announced a new joint venture that will improve productivity, growing more food using fewer resources. iShares ESG Aware MSCI EAFE ETF (ESGD): Tracks the best ESG stocks.

Xylem (XYL): Developed a new wastewater treatment solution that will help improve nutrient removal, save energy and reduce costs. To help investors choose ESG shares, MSCI (NYSE: MSCI), a leading supplier of investment decision support tools, provides the MSCI ESG Rating.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. ESG Picks. Great Corporate Citizens This annual ranking, though they're Canadian companies, could be of interest to ethical and sustainable investors everywhere. The following descriptive article is titled Canada's Best 50 corporate citizens of 2022 continue to conquer the markets. It's by the renowned Corporate Knights group and found on their website with this commentary by Toby Heaps. Here are some quotes from Mr. Heaps. “Twenty years ago, Corporate Knights launched its quest for a more humane form of capitalism, placing people and planet ahead of profits, with the Best 50 Corporate Citizens sitting at the head of the roundtable to make business a force for good. A lot has changed for the better in that time and a lot hasn't. Thankfully, the glass ceilings in Canada's corporate boardrooms have been breached, with non-male members now making up almost a third of directors, double their one-sixth share in 2002… Racial diversity on large corporate boards has also improved: 9% of members are now non-white, double the 4% level in 2011, when we first started tracking this metric… While one workplace fatality is too many, it is encouraging that on a national level, a third less people died on the job in 2019 than was the case in 2002… Over the last two decades, corporate profits have doubled, workers have been left behind and emissions have stalled, but the Best 50 firms are leading the way with 50% more gender diversity and triple the investments aligned with the clean economy… The Best Corporate Citizens' stock market performance has outperformed its peers earning 499% gross return since it was first launched in June 2002, versus 366% for S&P/TSX Composite.” End quotes. Incidentally, the top three companies in the ranking are Hydro-Quebec, Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (INE.TO), and Brookfield Renewable Partners LP (NYSE: BEP). Go to this podcast's webpage for a great statistical table titled… The 2022 Best 50 Corporate Citizens vs. the rest* Indicator 2022 Best 50 Average Large Canadian Company (minus Best 50) CEO–Average Worker Pay Ratio 74:1 160:1 Board Gender Diversity 36.7% 23.3% Executive Gender Diversity 26.6% 13.1% Board Racial Diversity 8.8% 8.2% Executive Racial Diversity 12.0% 6.6% Cash Taxes Paid (% of EBITDA) 11.6% 8.9% **Clean Revenue (% Total Revenue) 36.8% 6.2% **Clean Investment (% Total Investment) 33.8% 12.7% Carbon Productivity ($ sales/tonnes GHGs) $1,517,909 $641,183 *Large Canadian companies (with more than $1b in annual revenue) excluding the Best 50 **Based on Corporate Knights' Clean Taxonomy ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. ESG Picks. Great Corporate Citizens It seems in every podcast I have an article and recommendation from Matthew DiLallo from fool.com! His latest article is titled This Renewable Energy Giant Sees Even More Powerful Growth Ahead. Here are quotes from Mr. DiLallo's article. “NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) is already growing faster than most utilities, powered by its focus on clean energy… That high-powered growth could enable NextEra Energy to continue generating market-crushing total returns for investors… The company raised its 2022 and 2023 earnings ranges by $0.05 per share, while boosting 2024's forecast by $0.10 per share. Meanwhile, it sees 2025 earnings growing by 6% to 8% off 2024's higher base. This updated forecast would see the company expand its adjusted earnings per share at a 9.8% annual rate from 2021 to the high end of 2025's forecast range… Several factors are helping power that growth. The company plans to significantly increase its core wind, solar, and storage business, expand beyond the power sector, and grow its already large-scale transmission business to help support the decarbonization of the U.S. economy… In addition, the company expects to build a leading regulated water business… NextEra Energy also unveiled its Real Zero plan to eliminate all the carbon emissions across its businesses no later than 2045 without the help of carbon offset credits… NextEra Energy has proven that going green can generate some serious green for its investors… That makes it a great stock to buy and hold for the long haul because it can potentially deliver massive returns as it leads the way in decarbonizing the U.S. economy.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ESG Picks. Great Corporate Citizens Now income from investments is particularly important for those who need cash flow in their daily living. So, this next article will interest those investors. It's titled Looking for Passive Income? This Renewable Energy Company Is a Great Way to Go. It's by Rekha Khandelwal, also on fool.com. Here's some of what Ms. Khandelwal writes. “At current share prices, Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (AY) offers a dividend yield of 5.6%... Utilities focused on renewable energy offer a great way to generate regular dividend income… Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure owns over 2 gigawatts of renewable electricity generation assets, roughly 72% of which are solar. Renewable power generation is expected to contribute around 70% of the company's cash available for distribution (CAFD) from 2022 to 2026. Atlantica also generates power using natural gas. The company expects its efficient natural gas and heat segment to contribute 15% of its cash available for distribution from 2022 to 2026. Transmission lines are expected to contribute 12%, and its water desalination assets are expected to contribute 3%.  The biggest positives for Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure as an investment are its stable and predictable long-term cash flows. At the end of 2021, the weighted average remaining term of agreements for the company's assets was 15 years. All of its revenue comes from contracted or regulated assets… Its assets are also geographically diversified, with 46% of its cash available for distribution coming from North America, 31% from Europe, and 15% from South America. Protection from inflation Rising interest rates are impacting the stock prices of companies in capital-intensive businesses. But the interest rates on 93% of Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure's project debt are either fixed or hedged… Similarly, the company has escalation factors included in its contracts to protect it from inflation… Management is targeting cash available for distribution per share growth of 5% to 8% through 2025… In short, Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure is a top renewables stock that can generate passive income for shareholders in the decades to come.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ESG Picks. Great Corporate Citizens This next article is by Joel Makower of GreenBiz.com, a well-known and highly respected figure in sustainable business. It's not a direct stock recommendation but rather is here as a stock that some of you might want to look at. The title of the article is In Brazil, Suzano harvests trees with deep roots in communities (BOVESPA: SUZB3). Here's some of what Mr. Makower writes. “What if the company had planted those trees years earlier, on degraded land that's now been revitalized? And if it then planted millions more trees where the cut ones used to be — all to be harvested years later and replaced by yet more trees? And it did this for multiple generations in partnership with local and Indigenous communities? Can that company be deemed sustainable? These are among the questions I pondered last week during my visit to São Paulo, Brazil. I was there as the guest of Suzano — a 98-year-old pulp and paper company, the largest in Latin America and one of the 10 largest in the world — to help host its annual ESG Call, an online event during which the company showcased its achievements and challenges to a global audience of investors, customers, activists and others. (I was paid for this work, but not for this article.)… Suzano, founded in 1924 by Ukrainian immigrant Leon Feffer, pioneered the production of pulp and paper from eucalyptus as an alternative to pine. It invested in research and development — in the 1980s, for example, it began to apply biotechnology, adopting micropropagation practices in its plantations — and in sustainability measures, including the creation in 1999 of the nonprofit Ecofuturo Institute (Portuguese), with a focus on ‘socio-environmental responsibility…' Social studies I was impressed by the environmental aspects of Suzano's operations, which have been informed by such global sustainability thinkers as John Elkington, Pavan Sukhdev and the late Tom Lovejoy… The company has a longstanding rural development program in which it teaches communities how to make the best use of their land by producing high-value crops and helping them transform those crops into finished goods that go into local and global markets. For example, it supports honey producers and beekeepers in placing their hives inside Suzano's eucalyptus plantations, which has the added benefit of reducing poaching by people afraid of bee stings. Among other things, there is a history of distrust to overcome. A few years ago, for example, activists in the northern state of Maranhao claimed Suzano had behaved badly, stealing land from traditional communities, displacing families and making livelihoods untenable. Suzano disputes these claims… Walter Schalka, the CEO, struck me as earnest as any business leader about the company's social — and environmental — commitments. ‘Not everything that we are doing is perfect,' he said. ‘But we are humble enough to bring the problems to the table and try to address how we are going to build the action plan to the future.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order, links on this podcast's webpage 1) Title Introducing the three largest ESG ETFs found on Trackinsight.com.

Leave it to the Episcopals! Plus climate community update on Blacks in Green. Biden approves Rhode Island offshore turbine wind farm, and climate hero, Pavan Sukhdev.

COP26 starts this Sunday and the world's attention is focused on climate. Food systems are an integral component and we need to recognise their hidden costs and positive benefits. Traditional accounting often fails to account properly for negative externalities, such as habitat destruction, soil erosion and water contamination, or positives such as carbon sequestration, insect pollination and resilience to natural disasters. True-value accounting and true-cost accounting paint a much more holistic, comprehensive view which, in turn, helps inform food pricing, policy documents and balance sheets. If we are serious about sustainability, we need to account for the whole picture. Pavan and Ruth provide insight, call for action and shed light on the invaluable work of WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), GIST Impact and the Global Alliance for the Future of Food. The evidence is robust and the arguments are clearly laid out in this podcast episode. Ruth delves into their recently-published “True Value” report, which was launched just days ago by the Global Alliance for the Future of Food and identifies ‘beacons of hope' to understand the breadth and depth of food systems' positive impact. We also learn from Pavan and Ruth of a 6-year old project in Andhra Pradesh, India, focused on natural farming, where more than 700,000 farmers (mainly women), have committed to a natural farming model, which has led to higher yields, lower water usage, lower on-farm and off-farm disease and positively impacted climate, soil benefits and various other components. As we approach COP26, Ruth notes that we need countries to step up and recognise the importance of food systems to the climate agenda, in order to make the connections between food, climate, nature, equality etc — there is currently a disconnect. Pavan notes that many SDGs are influenced by food systems. It's not just SDG2 and sustainable food but also SDG3 (health), and SDG1 (poverty), SDG5 (gender equity), SDG4 (education), SDG6 (water) and SDG13 (climate) etc.  If we don't see the whole picture and properly account for the hidden negatives and positives, we are simply not going to get to the solutions that are so desperately needed.

In this episode, Michael Torrance speaks with Pavan Sukhdev, an internationally recognized authority on the integration of sustainability impact and natural, human and social capital into accounting and disclosure for the private sector. They discuss how natural capital is defined, different disclosure frameworks, and how companies should approach this subject.

Hannah MacInnes joins Pavan Sukhdev, President of WWF International and Founder of GIST Advisory, on The Klosters Forum Feed & Flourish Podcast series, to discuss the topic of biodiversity and ways in which we can transform our food systems in order to positively preserve our planet. Pavan Sukhdev is a sustainability thought leader, an experienced innovator in sustainability metrics, and an influential voice amongst policy makers and institutions focussed on sustainable development.

Economies driven by growth, at cost to nature — surely there is some other way. In an interview, green economist Pavan Sukhdev says it's time for humanity to go through its next evolution. In part 2 of this special with On the Green Fence, hosts discuss: Does change need to happen first in our heads, and how about a hard look at what we really value?

Indian environmental economist Pavan Sukhdev explains in this podcast why our interconnectedness with wildlife is central, even though the exact origin of the coronavirus remains disputed. It's brought our world to a virtual standstill - and there are dozens of other pathogens waiting in line for their turn in the viral limelight. Is the Holocene striking back?

What if you had to pay for the air you breath and the rain water that comes from the earth? We really seem to take these items for granted along with the natural capital of the earth. Pavan Sukhdev’s talk at TEDGlobal 2011 - he states that  "Every day, we use materials from the earth without thinking, for free (like air and water). But what if we had to pay for their true value: would it make us more careful about what we use and what we waste?"

Many have questioned whether corporations can fulfill a social purpose while still earning a profit --- from the early American corporations chartered to serve a public purpose, to Henry Ford's desire to spread the benefits of the industrial system to the greatest possible number, to modern Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts. However, the operating environment for business has increasingly moved away from encouraging companies to pursue social purposes in their business activities. General incorporation statutes, limited liability laws, and changes in the post-war period have led to a situation in which corporations now mostly act with impunity --- largely free of requirements to serve a public purpose or even report the damages they cause to society and the environment. Last fall, Pavan Sukhdev a leading expert on the green economy, released the book Corporation 2020: Transforming Business for Tomorrow's World. In the book, Sukhdev argues that in order for corporations and society alike to survive and thrive, we need to rethink the way the business world works. This requires not just action by corporations, but also the strength of governments directed toward transforming regulations and creating incentives for corporations to change and adapt. With the clock ticking toward 2020, Sukhdev is returning to Yale a year later to break down how his sweeping vision of how a better corporate model is being realized.

In this week's programme we have a report from Gloucestershire on the waxing and waning of Eel populations. Jonathan Porritt, one of the founders of the sustainability charity Forum for the Future will be in the Shared Planet studio to explore the issues and the wider implication of sustainability and Monty also speaks with Pavan Sukhdev, founder of the GIST Advisory - a specialist consulting firm which helps governments and corporations manage their impacts on natural and human capital.

The Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies will host a public event to launch the new book Corporation 2020: Transforming Business for Tomorrow's World, by Pavan Sukhdev. The book launch will feature a discussion between Yvon Chouinard (Founder of Patagonia and Co-author of "The Responsible Company"), Vincent Stanley (writer and editor for Patagonia and Co-author of "The Responsible Company") and Pavan Sukhdev (Author of Corporation 2020).

Around the world communities are already facing the impacts of climate change.  Now international organizations, like the World Bank, are pushing a policy that asks polluters to offset their pollution by paying governments to protect forests.  But is it working?  On this edition, we take a closer look at this policy and ask, is it a plan to save the planet, or just sell it off? We'll hear from indigenous activists and extracts from “A Darker Shade of Green: REDD Alert and the Future of Forests” by Jeff Conant, narrated by Dania Cabello.  A Darker Shade of Green: REDD Alert and the Future of Forests is a production of the Global Justice Ecology Project and Global Forest Coalition. Featuring: Anne Petermann, Global Justice Ecology Project director; Pavan Sukhdev, UN Environment Programme's Green Economy Initiative  former head; Robert Zoellick, World Bank president; Gustavo Castro, Otros Mundos director; Osmarino Amancio Rodriguez, Rubber Tapers Union of Acre  president; Elder Andrade de Paula, Federal University of Acre professor; Leticia Yawanawa, Union of Indigenous Women of the Brazilian Amazon; Alegría De La Cruz, Center on Race, Poverty & the Environment attorney; Henry Clarke, West County Toxics Coalition director; Tom Goldtooth, Indigenous Environmental Network executive director.
