[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...

[ESG TODAY] Canada’s CSSB Releases IFRS-Based Sustainability and Clima...

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.

[Reuters] ESG Watch: COP29 leaves electric vehicle industry stuck in the...

Industry Insight from Ethical Corporation Magazine, a part of Thomson Reuters.December 18 - Road vehicles are responsible for 15% of global energy-related emissions and are a crucial piece of the decarbonisation puzzle. You would expect them to be front and centre of the COP U.N. climate conference process.That has been the case in the past – COP26 created a goal for all light-duty vehicles to be zero emission by 2040 (2035 in leading markets), while at COP28, the ZEV Transition Roadmap set out how wealthy governments would help boost support for EVs in developing economies to make them the “most affordable, accessible, and attractive option” everywhere by 2030.

[Financial Times] Investors weigh if meetings or selling out most influe...

Active fund managers often claim the moral high ground, but investors are increasingly choosing passive rivalsActive fund managers may find it hard to defend their mainly higher fees compared with their passive fund peers, but when it comes to sustainable investment they often claim the moral high ground.This is because they can choose to divest from, or sell shares in, any offending company, depriving it of capital and thereby, in theory, influencing management decisions. Passively managed strategies, in contrast, follow an index and, instead of selling, their only recourse is to talk to, or engage with, the company.The investment community has been split over which is the most effective approach but, globally, 1,600 institutions have made public commitments to divest from fossil fuels, a...
