[The Guardian] Support for ESG proposals at record low driven by US inve...

Support for shareholder proposals aimed at tackling environmental and social risks hit a record low last year, figures show, amid a “worrying retreat” by investors, particularly in the US.A report compiled by the responsible investment campaign group ShareAction found that, out of 279 environmental, social and governance (ESG) shareholder resolutions put forward at annual general meetings last year in the UK, Europe and the US, only four – or 1.4% – secured majority support.It marks a sharp decline from recent years, having dropped from 21% in 2021 to 14% in 2022, and 3% in 2023. However, it also reflects a severe drop in support for ESG issues in the US, where rightwing activists and politicians have targeted financial firms for supporting climate and diversity policies.Polic...

[Reuters] ESG Watch: DeepSeek poses deep questions about how AI will dev...

“The DeepSeek saga is a fascinating inflection point in AI’s trajectory, raising ESG questions that extend beyond energy and market concentration,” Peter Huang, co-founder of Openware AI, said in an emailed response to questions.DeepSeek put the cat among the pigeons by announcing that it had developed its model for around $6 million, a thousandth of the cost of some other AI models, while also using far fewer chips and much less energy.Camden Woollven, group head of AI product marketing at IT governance and compliance group GRC International, said in an email that “smaller companies and developers who couldn't compete before can now get in the game …. It's like we're seeing a democratisation of AI development. And the efficiency gains are significant as they're achieving similar...

[Latham & Watkins] ESG and Sustainability Insights: 10 Things That Shoul...

Through the course of 2024, the development of the ESG and sustainability landscape was dynamic. We anticipate that this dynamism will intensify in 2025, given the implementation and potential amendment of ESG-related regulations and significant geopolitical developments around the globe. Companies, investors, and asset holders will need to remain agile and informed to adequately respond to these trends, while navigating the energy transition, greater scrutiny of value chains, and the “greenlash.” Integrating ESG and sustainability into corporate strategies and operations will require ever more sophistication and careful consideration, in particular by the directors and senior managers who are responsible for oversight of such matters.1. US DevelopmentsMany observers are wondering how ...

[EEB] The EU and circular economy: naughty or nice? (2024년 12월 18일...

1. Trash or treasure? This year, food waste was on the menu, and textiles were woven into the discussion. The European Parliament and Member States advanced on the revision of EU waste management laws, with a special focus on the food and textiles sectors. Both the Parliament and the Council raised the bar for textiles sustainability, adding provisions to hold brands financially accountable for the impact of their products. It is about time: production of textile fibres has doubled since 2000, and too many products end up as waste shortly after hitting the market, making producer responsibility measures as urgent as ever. On the other hand, they fell short of proposing adequate reduction targets to address the scale of Europe’s food waste cri...

[MSCI] Sustainable-Finance Regulation — a Look Ahead for 2025 (2024년...

Key findingsIn 2025, the EU CSRD will standardize sustainability disclosures, promising greater transparency but introducing challenges for financial institutions as sector standards will come with a time lag.Financial institutions will need to navigate CSRD, SFDR and ESG fund-naming rules, aligning with stringent fossil-fuel exclusions, to avoid noncompliance and reputational risk.Globally, ISSB-based climate disclosures will foster data availability outside the EU but mushrooming green taxonomies will mostly retain regional flavors, challenging globally consistent sustainable-investment strategies.In the EU, the standardization of sustainability data will reach a milestone in 2025 with companies in scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) reporting, for the first ...

[ESG NEWS] Europe’s Top 25 Banks Urged to Lead on Climate and Biodiver...

Europe’s Banks Are “In Debt to the Planet”Europe’s 25 largest banks are not doing enough to address the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, according to a new report. Despite committing to net-zero by 2050, many banks’ strategies are inadequate, with gaps in policy implementation, transparency, and ambition.“Banks are exposed to biodiversity risks but are also driving them,” the report warns.Findings at a GlanceClimate Targets Lack TeethWhile all surveyed banks committed to net-zero by 2050, only six have interim targets to cut emissions. Most targets focus on intensity rather than absolute reductions, with limited coverage of critical sectors like agriculture and chemicals.“Only one bank published a target for agriculture, and no bank h...

The Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) announced the publication of its finalized Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards (CSDSs), largely aligned with the global standards released by the IFRS Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), but adding more time for companies to prepare for some key elements of reporting, such as on value chain GHG emissions, compared to the ISSB standards.The release of the new standards marks a significant step in the multi-year process towards establishing a new sustainability reporting system in Canada, beginning in 2021, with a directive from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to cabinet ministers to move towards a system of reporting based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)...

[New York Post] House Judiciary Committee sends letters to investment fi...

The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee took aim at a group of US asset managers over their involvement with a “woke ESG cartel” — adding pressure against environmental efforts by large investors.The committee, chaired by Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, sent letters to 60 firms — including BlackRock, State Street and JPMorgan Asset Management — that are members of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, or NZAM, an international group of investors that signed on to a pledge to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.The letters, sent Friday, made claims in line with a committee report released on Dec. 13 that Republicans say showed fund firms colluded to cut emissions.
