Bloomberg is a rather unique player in the sustainability space – it is an aggregator and provider of ESG data, a media outlet following and analyzing key developments in the space, and a company with sustainability-minded leadership that just issued an impact report following both GRI and SASB reporting standards, all in one. In this presentation, Bloomberg LP’s Global Head of Sustainable Business & Finance Curtis Ravenel will share his latest observations on overall progress in aggregating and reporting ESG performance data.

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.

The word ESG or Environmental, Social, and Governance Metrics are used to describe the environmental, social, and governance performance of a company. This can be done in many ways- via surveys that are sent to members of the public who then weigh in on what they believe are the most important factors for measuring environmental impacts or by performing research into how companies rank when it comes to key issues. Some people would argue that this is not necessary while others would argue that if you want your business to succeed then these metrics should be taken into consideration.

What New EU Reporting Standards Mean for North AmericaGreenBiz Group
Significant changes are coming to sustainability reporting in Europe. From 2022, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) will bring in mandatory ESG disclosure for all large or listed companies operating in the EU – expanding current non-financial reporting requirements from 11,000 companies to more than 50,000. As a result, many North American companies who do business in the EU will be included. This session will review the incoming changes and updates on the new sustainability reporting standards that will apply, for which GRI has been appointed by the European Commission to co-construct. Requiring double-materiality reporting of impacts and building on the widespread adoption of the GRI Standards, these developments will have a significant role in the global convergence of sustainability reporting.
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.

Material Engagement is the missing link between the sharp growth in ESG aligned assets, and the lack of progress on many of the pressing environmental, social and governance issues facing humanity today. The sustainability priorities of Material Engagement are grounded in human rights by virtue of its focus on the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, by linking the SDGs to SASB’s Materiality Map, the Material Engagement approach provides the legal, commercial, and strategic impetus for companies to make the SDGs a reality. Said another way, Material Engagement is an approach that combines the heart (SDGs) with the brain (SASB) thus birthing a new sustainable business reality, one that’s rooted in human rights, and guided by the power and genius of private enterprise. In addition to its powerful intellectual and moral foundation, Material Engagement offers a turn-key sustainability engagement solution, with relevant KPIs, scope and milestones blueprints, clear timelines, escalation pathways, and communication methods. Material Engagement is the missing link between the world we have, and the world humanity deserves.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
