Over the course of the last few years, there has been a massive paradigm shift when it comes to viewing sustainability and business. An example of this shift is well illustrated by two Economist articles. Four years ago, in 2005, the Economist argued in support of Milton Friedman’s view that “the business of business is business” implying that Corporate Social Responsibility practices squandered shareholder value. This is significant if you look at a much more recent article, published just last year, where they recognize that looking at your business through the lens of sustainability is actually just good business.

ESG Is No Longer Optional. What Every Private Equity Manager Should KnowNavatar
Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5NBmZs84gY&feature=youtu.be
Responsible investment (or ESG), once a do-good sideshow, is becoming mainstream. Private equity managers must consider a host of issues, from gender diversity to carbon emissions, or risk losing investor capital and deals. The trend is only growing.
The challenge today is formalizing ESG policies to meet heightened standards. In this webinar, Navatar in conjunction with Invest Europe, brought together leading ESG thinkers from the industry to discuss how GPs should present their ESG framework to investors, what to consider during pre-investment due diligence, and ultimately portfolio monitoring and exit.
We address:
- Why your ESG strategy can make or break a deal
- What LPs want to see in your policies/practices
- Bringing your ESG DDQ to the next level
-Automation, plastics and other emerging ESG risks
Speakers:
- Maaike van der Schoot, Responsible Investment Officer, AlpInvest Partners
- James Holley, Head of ESG, Bridgepoint
- Graeme Ardus, Head of ESG, Triton Partners
- Jaideep Das, Partner, ERM
The era of “nice to have ESG” ended, the era of “must have” has started. The presentation discusses the major forces in ESG, provides an overview of the approaches to ESG data collection, explains the rationale of Refinitiv’s ESG solutions and outlines aspects that should be taken into consideration when integrating ESG into the investment processes.

LOHAS marketers know the value of terms like “biodegradable”, “environmentally-friendly”, and “recycled” – these are the buzz words that communicate the value of our product or service. But, when you use these terms, could you be deceiving your customer? Are you adequately verifying your environmental claims? Your environmental marketing may be falling short based on newly proposed changes to the FTC’s Green Guides. You can’t afford to be complacent about meeting these new guidelines, as the Commission has brought action against companies whose green marketing claims failed their standards, resulting in years of litigation and millions in court fees. Marcos Cordero, CEO of the Green Business Bureau, will lead this highly-informative breakout session where he will cover the proposed changes and offer you tips on how you can make sure that your green claims measure up.

Great challenges will require courage and ethical behavior. Finding sustainable solutions for all the needs of people around the world will require the best of all of us.
Deserts are damaged by many users. Understanding their behavior is important in developing restoration plans and projects. You need to know the anatomy, physiology, psychology and economics for long term success.
Container plants are needed on many degraded and damaged sites. The type of container is a critical choice with the goal of the lowest cost per survivor. Deep containers are needed for many seasonally dry or arid sites.
Out planting requires careful planning and handling of plants. Best practices can improve survival. Once planted herbivory and sand blast can be minimized with tree shelters or other protection.
Understanding the history and conditions of a restoration site are critical for planning and implementation. Soils, water flow, weeds, and other factors are all critical.

2. Sustainability
Environmental Management
Reporting is an essential tool in the
effort to make organizations,
communities and countries more
sustainable
To “meet the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their needs”
3. EMR - Purpose
Environmental reporting is the publication of
information about the environmental impacts
of your operations, business, products, and
services
One of the key goals of EMR is increasing
transparency about the sustainability of
organizations operations, goods, services and
programs
4. Stakeholder perspective
EMR takes a broader view of reporting
than traditional accounting and reporting
that was almost exclusively financial
EMR recognizes that a range of
stakeholders need access to more
information to make informed decisions
and choices
5. What value?
EMR takes resources, money and time, but:
EMR can improve your image in the public
eye and relationships with the local
community and regulators
EMR can help employees identify more
closely with the organization and increase
motivation and commitment
EMR will raise your environmental and social
profile in the business market and help you
stand out from competitors.
6. Goals
Reporting the economic, environmental
and social costs and benefits of
organizational operation
Measuring and disclosing these
impacts
Reporting outcomes and trends
Noting challenges, failures,
opportunities and successes
7. Benchmarking
EMR allows for benchmarking with
respect to laws, standards, and
initiatives
Benchmarking against the best in the
world will enable progress to be made
more quickly
8. Comparison
EMR allows comparisons to be made
between organizations, divisions,
departments, and products
These reports help find and spread
best practices around the world
EMR allows consumers to compare
and choose wisely
9. Demonstration and Monitoring
EMR allows managers, leaders,
workers and stakeholders to understand
impacts and opportunities
Measurement makes management
possible and compares performance
EMR facilitates monitoring and year to
year comparisons
10. Standards
There are many approaches in use, but
the most important standard is the
Global Reporting Initiative (started by
the UN in the late 1990s)
GRI is now independent and full details
can be found at
www.globalreporting.org
EMAS is widely used in Europe, often
in conjunction with GRI
11. GRI Approach
The GRI initiative has been very
gentle, working on a consensus basis
Reporting guidelines and supporting
materials are readily available and
subject to testing and continued
improvement
General and sector specific information
is being developed and refined
19. Human rights
Non-discrimination
Freedom of association and collective
bargaining
Child labor policy
Forced and compulsory labor policy
Disciplinary practices
Security practices
Indigenous rights
20. Society
Community building and support
Anti-bribery and anti-corruption
Legal and fair political contributions
Education and competitiveness
Fair competition and pricing
Equitable distribution of impacts and
profits
Charitable activities
21. Product Responsibility
Worker health and safety
Customer health and safety
Community health and safety
Products and services that add value
Advertising that is honest
Respect for privacy
22. EMR challenges
Focus resources on issues that matter
Not reporting qua reporting, but reporting to
make a difference
This will make reports from different sectors
and even different companies very different
Reporting may also vary from country to
country or region to region
The goal should always be to add value!
23. Sector Guidelines
Take advantage of sector guidelines
details developed to help:
Tour operators
Telecommunication
Mining and metals
Public agency
Logistics and transportation
25. Technical protocols
Are created to provide guidance on
reporting issues
Report boundaries, detail, etc.
Related to sector and general
guidelines
26. EMR for all
Almost all the reporting done to date
has been larger corporations
The challenge is to bring EMR within
reach of all organizations
Small companies, government
departments, schools, and NGOs
27. The challenge
Time is of the essence
Global warming and global change are
reaching criticality
Regional problems are growing
Local problems are severe in many
areas of he world
EMR can help
