Great to see innovations by Generation Impact Global in the field of ESG reporting & data management! Thank you, Anna Shpak, for the presentation! The quite innovative platform of Generation Impact Global is a strong platform equipped with advanced technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence, is equally flexible to accommodate different ESG frameworks, 3rd party integrations & custom solutions as well. What's more interesting is to see how a comprehensive tool can help with innovation on the client side. Analyzing consumer footprints, using year-on-year ESG data to analyze performance & identify opportunities being a few advantages such platforms can offer. ESG reports used to be one of the key research documents for design projects, but integration of such platform (& its tools, insights) could significantly add to the capability of a design strategist through analysis of first-hand data & footprinting capacities of solutions/strategies. Looking forward to exploring more of such platforms & their use in design projects.

This blog explored the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credit systems on climate change mitigation, with a focus on carbon credits. Carbon credits, which represent the reduction of one metric tonne of CO₂ or equivalent gases, are highlighted for their established market, regulatory support, and significant environmental impact. The integration of technologies such as geospatial data analysis, AI, and blockchain has enhanced the accuracy, transparency, and reliability of these credits. As climate policies tighten and global awareness increases, the demand for carbon credits is expected to grow, driving innovations and aligning projects with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite challenges like verification complexity and market volatility, the future of ESG credit systems remains promising for achieving global sustainability goals. https://lnkd.in/dQz-HtWG

📣 WEBINAR RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE 📣 Last week, we launched our ESG MASTERS platform. It is aiming at laying a foundation for the sustainable adoption and orchestration of cutting-edge technologies, such as AI and blockchain, to drive achieving the Net Zero and ESG goals in different industries. By showcasing how to improve business efficiency by using these exponential technologies, our events aim to influence thought leaders, industry pioneers, and early adopters to make informed decisions about how to best leverage technological innovation for a sustainable future. In our first webinar, we discussed "The Way from CO2 Counting to CO2 Management", and looked at the outlook for European registries and different ways how to efficiently manage material data and certificates, all the while not neglecting proof of provenance for those fundamental supply chains. You can watch the recording of the session now; with a keynote from Prof. Dr. Jens Strüker (Fraunhofer FIT & University of Bayreuth) and a panel featuring Karolin Langfeldt (Circulor), Quentin Cangelosi (Atmen), Stefan Grüll (S1SEVEN | Digital Material Passport) and Alex Bausch (2Tokens).

Moving forward.

Earlier today, we jointly organised our Green Horizons: Convergence of Finance, Technology & Sustainability roundtable event, with Datapod, IOSS Solutions, and Stone Mattered Holdings. There were some very interesting insights about the opportunities and challenges associated with #climatemarkets and #sustainability ecosystems. Here are some key takeaways from the very informative session: 🌱 Provenance is crucial – high quality doesn't mean integrity, and is required for output and compliance, which is where technology comes into play. 🌱 How to de-risk the mindset, whether it's on the regulatory side, the policy side, the investor side, and how do we create that kind of trust and compliance? 🌱 Banks need to change the model for lending for carbon related projects as the traditional lending model is not fit for purpose 🌱 We need to understand carbon market sensitivity, and the market has to evolve to factor in the data from source to trade, otherwise scams and greenwashing will be more prevalent. 🌱 Evolving past the era of executing top-down rules as a method of carbon reducing mechanism, where people comply with those rules without understanding them. On the other hand, the Paris Agreement adopts a bottom-up approach, where each country is responsible for their own emission reductions. 🌱 Better education is essential to democratise the climate market and to ensure it is inclusive, which will in turn grow investment. 🌱 We must ensure authenticity when we integrate source and veracity into a blockchain, into projects or into verification in climate markets otherwise it is just garbage in and garbage out. 🌱 Our lack of connectedness in digital technologies and our inability at handling cross-jurisdictional regulatory standards and compliance are holding the market back. Interoperability is very much needed enabled by technology across APIs and blockchains. #CarbonMarkets #GreenFinance #ClimateFinance #ClimateMarkets #ClimateFintech Velle Niqo Tay - Entrepreneur•Advisor•CEO•CBO-CMO ESG, DC Solutions, Smart Tech Lincoln T.

The presentation displays the five factors that will contribute to the growth of European advisors in the near future. Accenture identified these drivers through a comprehensive survey conducted recently. The order of importance in the advice industry is displayed from left to right. The surge in ESG investing is a clear sign of a significant shift towards sustainability. Advisors who share these values are in a great position to drive growth in the future, especially when it comes to wealth transfers. The way your clients view this matter is going to change rapidly as generations pass from parents to children. This change will happen at an increasing rate, gaining momentum over time. Advisors need to be aware of this shifting perception and adapt accordingly to stay ahead. By embracing the principles of ESG investing and prioritising sustainability, advisors can effectively meet the evolving needs and expectations of their clients, thus securing a prosperous future for both themselves and the investors they serve. Innovation is often not discussed with investments, but the next few years will bring tremendous innovation and products if shaped by adviser professional bodies, that address client needs in a manner that could not be appreciated before. This will require a significantly broader technical knowledge than advisers currently have. As Brett Canning would suggest, fixed income will especially be an interesting space. Innovative technology, beyond your expectations, particularly the little-discussed impact of the long-promised blockchain impact on settlement and administration. The problem of not having enough qualified advisors is a major challenge that is also becoming increasingly prevalent in Australia. It poses a significant hurdle that needs to be addressed. This is intimately linked to the hybrid advice question? #financialadvisors #financialplanners #financialadvice
