IPE: Donald Trump is not the only US leader to ignore the climate emergency. BlackRock’s 2019 letter to companies, timed to coincide with Davos, is not quite the State of Union address but it was equally silent on the crisis.
S&P Global: Private sector companies and other non-governmental entities can face several material credit risks associated with an entity's social license to operate, Moody's Investors Service said in a Feb. 20 research note.
New York Post: Less than one in five hedge fund professionals are women, according to a report released by Preqin on Thursday. And the number drops to just 11 percent when it comes to the senior ranks, Preqin said.
WSJ: Half of the women in private equity would consider leaving the industry, according to a new survey that showed rising dissatisfaction despite buyout firms’ efforts to become more diverse.
Citywire: JP Morgan Asset Management has hired Jennifer Wu to the newly created role of global head of sustainable investing.
Wu joins JP Morgan from BlackRock, where she was a member of its sustainable investing team.
Trust Net: Gender equality, climate change and the overuse of antibiotics are some of the issues which will dominate the conversations that BMO Global Asset Management’s responsible investing team have with investee companies this year.
PRI: As part of the programme on championing climate action, in 2018, the PRI introduced TCFD-aligned indicators to its Reporting Framework. Despite the indicators being voluntary, over 480 investors representing US$42 trillion opted to complete the indicators and submit responses. In 2019 the climate indicators will again be voluntary.
As You Sow: This 2019 study is the fifth report of our research results. During these five years, what has changed? Quite a bit, and not enough. Significantly, more large shareholders are voting against more CEO pay packages. Those who are not are more isolated and defensive.
IPE: Salt marshes around the Taw and Torridge river estuaries in North Devon, south-west UK, disappeared long ago due to land reclamation. However, a pilot programme considering conservation in the area has indicated they have potential to be restored as “blue carbon” (marine-based carbon offsets).
The News Market: The 2019 survey has found that nearly 81% of respondents are reporting ESG matters to their boards at least once a year, with a third (35%) doing so more often. Almost all (91%) report having a policy in place or in development, compared to 80% in 2013. Of these, 78% are using or developing KPIs to track, measure and report on progress of their responsible investment or ESG policy.
