The CDP 2024 reporting window opened today for all companies disclosing environmental and #ClimateImpacts. This reporting cycle, the non-profit is trying to make submitting easier by launching a new platform. The platform merges forests, water, biodiversity and plastics issues. Climate issues remain a separate questionnaire, which has been updated to better align with the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) IFRS S2 standard. Although this will reduce the reporting burden, companies might still need guidance to get familiar with the new questionnaires and to present the data in a way that delivers the highest possible score. Ecohz offers an Energy and GHG reporting service that aims to simplify #SustainabilityReporting for companies and allow them to obtain the highest possible benefits from disclosing #RenewableEnergy consumption.

📊 Exploring Impact Measurement in the Age of Sustainability Reporting 🌱 Yesterday, we hosted an Action Lab centered on Impact Measurement in the Era of Sustainability Reporting. This dynamic event brought together diverse stakeholders to tackle key challenges in impact measurement and mandatory sustainability reporting. Throughout the session, experts engaged in focused discussions at individual roundtables, addressing critical issues such as: - The lack of clear metrics and unsatisfying data quality; - The mismatch between sustainability reporting and strategy;  - The lack of reporting guidance and an increased reporting burden;  - And the shortage of talent and knowledge. Each group emerged from these discussions with tangible solutions, emphasizing continued collaboration beyond the event. Key areas of focus include the development of best-practice case studies and fostering partnerships with SMEs.

🌍💡 Exciting news! We’ve released an updated White Paper on Internal Carbon Fees! 🚀💚 Why Internal Carbon Fees? Leading frameworks (e.g. SBTI, WWF/BCG, and Gold Standard/Milkywire) all recommend a similar 4 step approach to what constitutes credible climate action, showing a clear consensus on what responsible businesses should do: In addition to reducing emissions in line with science-based targets, companies should set an internal carbon fee and contribute to climate action. In this white paper, we explore the internal carbon fee concept in detail and outline practical steps for how companies can approach the topic. What's New? This edition expands on the critical need for companies to adopt a holistic approach towards emissions reduction and climate project financing. It challenges the narrative, urging companies to shift from traditional offsetting to making impactful contributions. Through detailed analysis and actionable insights, we aim to equip businesses with the knowledge to implement an internal carbon fee, driving forward the global agenda for net zero. Join pioneering companies such as Klarna, Mentimeter, Northzone, BioGaia AB and Avanza Bank and take responsibility for your emissions in a credible way. Dive into how in the white-paper below. https://lnkd.in/eMGeikkb

This is a game-changer for sustainability reporting. Here at Carbon Happy World, we're thrilled about the major consolidation moves announced by the IFRS Foundation and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) today! The fragmented landscape of reporting standards has been a huge headache for businesses and investors alike. Thankfully, IFRS S1 & S2 have already merged key frameworks like CDSB, SASB, IIRC and TCFD. This basically leaves IFRS and GRI as the main players. But there's more good news! IFRS is now taking over responsibility for net zero Transition Plans from the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT). This is fantastic because it means these plans will be seamlessly integrated with IFRS S1 & S2, eliminating duplicate reporting burdens. On the collaboration front, things are also positive: Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol): A signed MOU and board representation for both sides ensures alignment and consistency. CDP: Continued close collaboration with CDP, who just launched their improved climate disclosure platform. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): The MOU between IFRS and GRI, announced in May, is still on track to promote harmony between the two standards. Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD): The ISSB is reviewing TNFD recommendations to see how they can be integrated or harmonized with existing disclosures. This focus on streamlining and collaboration is exactly what the sustainability community needs. We're excited to see a more unified and effective approach to sustainability reporting that empowers businesses and investors to make a positive impact!

“Without macroeconomic stability, the cost of green transition will be multiples larger than what it is, and the pace of green transition can be slower. When we think about the role of central banks in the fight of climate change, we need to recognize that the most important role that we play relates to price and financial stability.” Read Katy Lee's thoughts here: https://lnkd.in/exGNehkC Climate & Capital Media Green Central Banking Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) Sabine Mauderer, Deutsche Bank South African Reserve Bank, European Central Bank #climatechange #climatechangeinvesting #climatechangeeducation #climatechangenews #climate #climateeducation #climatenews #climatereporting #climatereport #climateinvesting #climatefinance #climateeconomy #news #jobs #linkedin #linkedinjobs #usa #usajobs #usaeconomy #esg #esgnews #esgdata #esgreport #esgreporting #esginvesting #esgeconomy #esgfinance #investing #banking #banks #centralbanks #centralbanking

🔎 Risk and Reputation Management Strategies in the Carbon Markets 🔎 Last week, Kita engaged in a webinar that delved into effective strategies for carbon market stakeholders to manage risks and prepare for potential crises. The webinar provided valuable, actionable insights, making it essential viewing for anyone involved in this dynamic industry. Carbon markets play a crucial role in addressing climate change, yet they continue to be scrutinised, with concerns about the potential for issues to impact both reputation and finances. Effective governance involves implementing systems and protocols that identify risks, reduce them wherever feasible, and prepare for scenarios where these risks materialise. Kita's CEO and co-founder, Natalia Dorfman, makes the case for dedicated insurance that demonstrates upfront due diligence and risk management. Nigel Brook, who leads Clyde & Co’s global Resilience and Climate Change Risk practice, addresses how proactive legal advice can help set companies up for success. Narda Shirley, co-founder of communications agency The Wilful Group, tackles crisis response readiness and reputational recovery from a PR perspective. The conversation was moderated by Julien Jacob, Offtaker and Investor Solutions Manager at Puro.earth. 📺 You can watch the full webinar here: https://lnkd.in/d7VECeSt #carboninsurance #riskmanagement #vcm
