Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing is bringing a new lens to the world of traditional investment management. ESG is increasingly becoming a key decision criterion within the institutional and retail channels as investors seek to ensure that their investments align with their values. In this webinar, we will provide a unique understanding of distribution trends driven by ESG criteria vital to product development and sales strategies for Asset Managers.
Broadridge has partnered with MSCI ESG Research to provide Asset Managers with access to ESG factors for funds. On this webinar, we will provide a detailed overview of ESG investment trends as well as present an overview of a unique set of data that provides ESG transparency on more than 27,000 funds.
How to Advise Corporate Investors on GovernanceJordan Sandler
The CMC-ON-GTA Chapter hosted a session on advising corporate investors on governance in their investee companies. These investors are becoming more vocal and active in terms of the expectations of governance. The old model of “if you’re not happy with the company’s governance – sell” has been replaced by “if you’re not happy with the company’s governance – change it!”.
Here's the presentation from one of our speakers, Catherine Jackson, formerly of Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and PGGM in the Netherlands (206 billion Euros of assets).

De dwingende uitdaging waarvoor wij staan op het gebied van milieu is, om met zijn allen de beweging in gang te zetten om de gemiddelde opwarming van de aarde tot 1,5 graden te beperken. Sommige belanghebbenden, gouvernementele organisaties en banken, vragen regelmatig om verbetering en het aanscherpen van de Europese wetgeving met betrekking tot het klimaat. De EU zou tegen 2050 een totale reductie van de binnenlandse emissies van 80% moeten realiseren. Door een eenduidig stappenplan te borgen, is een concrete stap naar verduurzamen. Denk daarbij aan de interne- en externe belanghebbenden te betrekken voor de implementatie van initiatieven om CO2-emissies te verminderen, of een stap verder zou zijn, om de emissies te compenseren. De Routekaart beschrijft aan de hand van analyses, en sector specifieke KPI’s, modellen hoe dit beleid goed zou kunnen worden geborgd in een Environmental Socio-Economic Governance beleid. De Routekaart biedt op de lange termijn een kosten efficiënt pad naar een schonere, klimaatvriendelijke bedrijf.

ESG-ROADMAP
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of ESG policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. ESG Key Performance Indicators are complex, so they must be sector specific, focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Sustainability managers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the ESG policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to implement these policies well within their own organisations.
We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. ESG-ROADMAP gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.
The Environmental Social Governance challenges e.g: on regulatory and reputational risks, market scandals and new market opportunities makes ESG information a data source of growing importance. With ESG in company seminars, round table discussions, scholarships and online association programs, we leave no one behind. Sign up today.

As part of its Sustainable Finance Action Plan, the European Commission published new guidelines in June for reporting climate-related information. These guidelines were designed to provide practical recommendations and help companies report the impact of climate change on their business as well as the impact of their activities on the climate. CDSB and CDP present will the new guidelines and what it means for corporate reporting practices moving forward.
TCFD implementation webinar series - risk management with HSBC - AMCDSB
Although some organisations have begun to apply traditional enterprise risk management (ERM) processes to the identification, assessment, and management of climate-related risks, the practice is not yet widespread or well developed. Lacking reliable information about how these risks are managed, investors are unable to properly evaluate the risk profile of an organisation or its securities. In this presentation, CDSB and HSBC offer insight into the key characteristics of effective risk management practices and what good practice disclosure looks like in line with the TCFD recommendations.

What You Need to Know: The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive and what its ...CDSB
Speakers: Michael Zimonyi, Policy & External Affairs Director and Nontokozo Khumalo, Corporate Engagement Manager at CDSB.
The EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) came into effect in 2018 and requires listed companies and other public interest entities to disclose information on the way they operate and how they manage social and environmental challenges. In June 2019 the European Commission published guidelines on reporting climate-related information which included the integration of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. These guidelines supplement the existing Non-Financial Reporting Guidelines released in 2017.
The EU is now set to publish a fitness check of corporate reporting to assess the appropriateness of existing legislation, with a special focus on NFRD, giving way to a possibility of a reopening of the current regulation. In advance of these updates, there is a tremendous opportunity for companies to get ahead of the curve to ensure that they are complying with the EU reporting guidelines and prepared for potential new regulations.
During this webinar briefing, you’ll gain insight into:
Current requirements of the NFR Directive and Guidelines;
The state of corporate climate change reporting;
Potential impacts of a reopened NFR Directive and CDSB’s expectations going forward.
TCFD implementation webinar series - strategy with UnileverCDSB
Many organisations currently face impacts from climate-related issues, with important implications for businesses, strategy, and financial planning. Improved disclosures on current and anticipated risks and opportunities can enhance an investors’ understanding of how strategic functions are likely to be impacted over the short, medium, and long terms. This presentation by CDSB and Unilever offers insight into the principles for effective strategy disclosure and what good practice looks like. Visit www.cdsb.net for more information.
Climate Action 100+ is an investor initiative to ensure the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change. How can investors make companies act responsibly?
Driving Finance Today for the Climate Resilient Society of TomorrowNAP Global Network
Presentation by Alan Miller and Andrew Eil, Climate Finance Advisors, as part of the Peer Learning Summit (PLS) in Rotterdam, Netherlands, from July 9-11.
It is clear that among investors there is a widely-held aspiration for more ‘long-term’ investing: investing that is both rewarding and sustainable for the future.
The world of ESG reporting is moving faster than ever. The European Union is moving fast to update the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) in 2021, the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) are reaching a critical mass and the often confusing group of reporting initiatives have committed to work together towards a comprehensive reporting landscape, with financial heavy-hitters such as the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) stepping into the game.
Too often, climate change is thought about as a challenge for future
generations. But as records continue to be broken, it is increasingly clear
that the effects of climate change are being felt today.
There is no doubt that the Paris Agreement was a major milestone in
establishing the framework for tackling climate change, by setting the global
goal of limiting global warming to less than 2°C and moving to a net zero
emissions economy by the second half of the century. But we should not
lose sight of the fact that 2°C warming still involves substantial change for
our infrastructure, our economy and our communities.
For investors, this means that the physical risk dimensions of climate
change must be part of the risk assessment process, and that increasing
investment into adaptation to ameliorate the effects of climate
must accelerate.
Given that climate change has been such a dominant topic in public debate
for a number of years now, it is perhaps surprising that relatively little work
has focused on the practical aspects of adaptation, particularly on how to
finance it. Where this work has taken place, it is predominantly focused on
public finance, while the hard yards of increasing private sector investment
into adaptation is only now beginning.
This report looks explicitly at how to increase investment into adaptation.
Developed through a multi-stakeholder climate adaptation finance
consultation process, it aims to identify real world investment barriers and
recommend potential solutions, with the goal of enabling the finance sector
to access adaptation investment opportunities. It also sets out a pathway
ahead with specific recommendations that IGCC will be taking forward.
Comments of participants in this process are included throughout the report.
Throughout this guide, we have sought to identify practical examples
of investment models currently being applied or with the potential to
be adopted to meet the challenges to adaptation investment identified
through this consultation process. By looking at what works today, we are
better able to identify solutions for scaling up investment.

Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

The Sustainable and Responsible Investment for Trustees course
is a short 2 hour training course brought to you by the PRI
Academy. It features content from leading international experts,
real life and hypothetical case studies, financial modelling, and
has been designed to help maximise your understanding and
practical application of key ESG concepts in the shortest possible
timeframe.
The Sustainable and Responsible Investment for Trustees course
provides you with the outlines on why responsible
investment is important for trustee and board member and the
steps involved to become a responsible trustee. The course
sets out why sustainability or environmental, social and
governance (ESG) - issues are relevant to you as a trustee or
board member.
PRI Academy
Thank you for the warm welcome. Let me get straight to the heart of today’s session:
Trustee boards and other asset owner governing bodies occupy an important place in the investment chain. Their actions on relevant environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations ultimately shape actions taken further down the chain.
The challenges facing trustee boards are numerous - clarity on underlying beliefs and levels of conviction, knowledge gaps on ESG issues, uncertainty about what is achievable, and pressures on board time. But in our view addressing ESG risks is critical:
ESG risks can be financially material for long-term investors; taking appropriate account of them is fundamental to fiduciary duty and good governance
Organisations may face significant reputational risks if ESG issues are not regularly considered
Addressing ESG risks effectively requires that boards set their strategy and objectives in a sound manner and embed monitoring of implementation into their regular processes
Now more than ever the trustee role is critical with the potentially dismal future outlined in the IPCC report.
Today I will cover three areas:
A quick outline of PRI and who we are
Cover the work that we doing to help trustees and asset owners address climate change
Set out some resources that can help you in your day-to-day role as trustees
A quick update, on who PRI represents.
The PRI is a global investor network with over 2,500 signatories to our six principles in 50 markets.
PRI continues to add signatories at a rapid rate. Last year we added 350 net new signatories last calendar year and we are still growing at approximately a new signatory every day.
The number of signatories in Africa is continuing to grow, with 80 across the continent (about 60 of which are in SA)
About 70% of African signatories are asset managers, so there is room for more AO participation
That said, some of the largest institutional investors on the continent are committed to RI, including the GEPF (South Africa – the largest institutional investor on the continent), as well as the EPPF (SA) and the GIPF (Namibia)
Might be worth noting that GEPF and EPPF were actually founding signatories – a reminder that Africa in general and South Africa in particular – are by no means laggards in the RI space

The global risks are evidenced by the latest World Economic Forum report – which you can see here on your right highlights environmental issues as 3 of the top 5 risks in 2019 in terms of overall impact. This correlates with the chart on your left looking at the likelihood of risks. Again, environmental risks are 3 of the top 5 (in fact the top 3) risks.
It's very interesting to contrast these themes with those shown a decade ago, when risks identified by investors were mainly economic.
Climate is the number one issue the investors we work with at PRI are concerned about, and this trend is also evidenced here. It's interesting to note the complete absence in 2019 of economic risks in the top 5 in either impact or likelihood, doubtless reflecting the strengthening of the global economy since the global financial crisis.
To turn to investors,
Investors are very concerned in particular at the urgency of climate change. It’s the ESG issue our signatories at PRI most commonly engage on.
With this in mind, investor awareness of the IPCC Special Report published last year is growing.
The IPCC report highlights the significant difference between 2C and 1.5C and that emissions need to decline by 45% before 2030, and renewable energy needs to supply 70-80% of power by 2050.
For global investors, this means a transformation of the energy system, reaching across sectors including energy, transport, buildings, agriculture, and across asset classes including infrastructure.
We have become increasingly concerned that PRI signatories will need to prepare for an abrupt policy response to climate change. The globe’s current emissions trajectory is dangerously off track and longer this drift continues the greater the policy risk for investors, as governments may look to suddenly catch up with the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
Moreover it is our view that this policy jolt is likely to happen in the next 6 years, which is within the capex cycle of many industries. You may not agree with this view. That’s fine. But we would encourage you, if you haven’t already, to develop your own climate-related view of the future and how you think this going to play out.
For our part, the PRI has already published concept papers on the Inevitable Policy Response and together with our partners the Energy Transition Advisors and Vivid Economics will be publishing detailed technical analysis and an economic model to help investors understand what this might mean for their portfolio.
The over-arching message being that climate change is a foreseeable risk, that can be mitigated by taking action now. Establishing governance structures, internal processes and a strategic vision of the future, as per the recommendations of the TCFD, of these risks and opportunities is a critical first step.
Financial markets do have the potential to improve our prospects for tackling climate change, but only if we make climate risks and opportunities more transparent. This is the reasoning behind the TCFD. It is a framework developed by the financial industry that will, over time, translate information about climate change into financial metrics. It is also a flexible framework, that recognizes that investors will have different starting points in their approach to climate-related risks & opportunities.
We are encouraging companies and investors to implement the Task Force’s four recommendation areas covering governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets.
The Task Force has been influential. One measure of this has been the number of investors responding to the PRI climate indicators that are based on the TCFD recommendations. These were introduced in January last year.
The indicators are not designed to replace TCFD. The opposite in fact as a means for signatories to get started, try climate related reporting the outputs from which – the climate transparency report – could be used in a public TCFD report.
While these indicator questions were voluntary in 2018 & 2019, the responses did exceed expectations, with almost 500 investors, representing $42 trillion, reporting to the PRI at the end of March. This equates to 39% and 31% of the AO and IM signatory base. And the graph here shows the breakdown by country.
In addition, there was actually several hundred more who started the indicators be didn’t submit. Whilst this was only a pilot year, it does provide an indication of who is thinking about climate risk and prepared to report to the PRI. We will in the next couple of months be publishing the stats from the 2019 reporting cycle, together with around 200 investors climate transparency reports who opted to make their responses to the indicators public.
Turning from disclosure to engagement, PRI is very pleased to be part Climate Action 100+.
This is a five-year investor-led initiative to engage systemically important greenhouse gas emitters and other companies across the global economy that have significant opportunities to drive the clean energy transition and help achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Investors are engaging with the world’s largest companies on their governance and management of climate risks and pushing for enhanced corporate disclosures on these risks. In particular, investors are engaging companies to:
Implement a strong governance framework which clearly articulates the board’s accountability and oversight of climate change risk
Take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain, consistent with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global average temperature increase to well below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
Provide enhanced corporate disclosure in line with the final recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
CA100+ is having real success: Shell announced near-term climate targets; BP responded to a shareholder resolution filed by CA100+ members committing to release specific details about how its investments align with the Paris climate accord; Glencore Plc, one of the world’s largest suppliers of coal, said it will cap output of the fossil fuel because of global warming.
The overriding message is clear: investor engagement can have a very real and meaningful impact on how a company engages on climate.
Another vital issues for investors is to connect the S with E of low carbon investing. Stranded assets could also lead to stranded communities. And there is a pressing to need to avoid siloed thinking and realise the objectives of the Paris Agreement with a just transition.
This approach seeks to revitalise industrial communities affected by a low carbon transition through place based investing and a strategic dialogue with policy makers.
Since PRI launch its just transition in September last year over 126 investors, representing $6tr AUM have signed up.
As the initial phase focused on agenda setting and awareness raising, the next phase will be focused on mobilising investor action.
Our aim is to make just transition a consideration for all investors and we are assessing how future activities might bring our just transition thinking into PRI’s normative tools for responsible investment.
Table of content, if you decide to use this, please add one slide at the beginning of every section, with its title highlighted
a word on investment consultants. Globally, investment consultants advise on trillions of dollars of assets. They are in a privileged position as trusted advisors and important sources of knowledge.
The PRI believes the full suite of investment consultants’ service delivery should incorporate ESG - financial evidence, regulatory requirements and overall client demand is sufficient enough that investment consultants should be incorporating ESG factors by default.
This is particularly important with smaller and medium-sized asset owners might not have the right level of expertise and sophistication to understand ESG issues and investment consultants should advice them appropriately to meet their fiduciary obligations.
We have produced a guide that offers insights to asset owners about the investment consultants own organisational approach, advise on investment strategy and policy as well as manager selection and appointment. Later editions will add guidance on more steps in the investment process.
A quick note: last year, PRI conducted an AO roundtable and one of the things that came up more than once was that AO’s on the continent in general, but in SA in particular, have a tendency to trust their consultants implicitly. The general feeling is that the responsibility to ensure compliance of investments with Regulation 28 (i.e. to ensure that ESG is appropriately considered) falls to the consultants and to the managers – as opposed to the AOs. However, consultation with managers and consultants always ends with the same comment: “if its not in my mandate, I’m not looking at it”. So there is a definite responsibility of AOs to be much more explicit in their expectations of managers and consultants when it comes to RI.
At the trustee level, I have had conversations where trustees (40% of whom are member elected, and almost 100% of whom are not trained in finance) freely admit that their own lack of confidence in their personal understanding of investments leads to a complete reliance on ACs when it comes to any and all investment decisions. If we can get the trustees in these workshops to understand that their responsibility trumps their perceived lack of ability, that would be a major win. They don’t have to know all the answers. But they do have to ask the right questions. And if they are not 100% satisfied that their consultants are doing what’s best for the sustainability of the fund, it is the trustees’ responsibility to act. There is an urgent need for trustees in this market need to acknowledge and accept this.
The RI Review Tool is a solution for asset owner boards to test and strengthen their responsible investment approach.
Why? Effective implementation of your investment policy is an issue with many asset owners.. Despite setting an overall RI policy, less than half of PRI asset owner signatories include specific guidelines on environmental and social issues in their policies and, in many cases, investment mandates lack detail on asset owners’ specific ESG expectations of their managers.
It examine their level of conviction and ambition in relation to responsible investment (RI) and how they translate these into actions. This quick and effective tool involves:
A short survey designed to enable each board member to give their views on the current and potential future significance of ESG issues, and how their fund addresses them
Board discussion of the survey results to identify areas of consensus and divergence, knowledge gaps and areas for attention as a group, and review of the survey findings against the fund’s current RI implementation
Development of actions to further advance board practice of RI.
It’s a service provided free PRI for signatories and has been road tested this with trustee boards with great results; it leads to action specific to your individual circumstances and needs.
Nicole can provide you with more info.
I would suggest that you stress that this is a facilitated workshop that is available at no cost to the fund.
