On June 12, 2024, the environmental disclosure organization CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) and Cathay United Bank co-hosted an ESG forum. The forum focused on the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), sharing insights on climate and natural risks, and highlighting key points for SMEs to consider when executing environmental disclosures. Metal Industries Research & Development Center also shared its expertise on carbon inventory and carbon reduction technology applications.  The ESG forum also recognized several companies, including AMPOWER, Voltronic, CviLux, CyberPower, and Auden Techno, for their outstanding performance in the 2023 CDP Asia Business Bank Project. Among these, we received the Carbon Disclosure Pioneer Award, declaring AMPOWER's official commitment to net-zero transition. Starting with environmental disclosure, we aim to gradually improve our operational processes, actively pursue energy transformation, and reduce carbon emissions. AMPOWER's participation in the CDP Business Bank Project highlights our dedication to environmental disclosure, showcasing our continuous effort in managing and mitigating our operational impact on the environment. In response to the global movement towards net-zero carbon emissions, we are promoting energy-saving and carbon reduction initiatives, working collaboratively with our partner companies to align with international standards and enhance AMPOWER's competitiveness, thus establishing a sustainable supply chain.   #AMPOWER #Environmental #NetZero #ESG #CDP #CathayUnitedBank

At TIC Council we support an open, competitive market for #sustainability reporting! ☑ #TIC companies can be accredited to demonstrate their capabilities, professionalism and independence in sustainability assurance under #CSRD as independent providers. ☑ Member States can trust independent providers will bring solid expertise in sustainability matters - such as CO2 emissions verification, on-site inspections, technical capabilities - and more competitiveness to the market. This will benefit all companies that want to comply with CSRD, especially SMEs!

We welcome the release of the new ATHEX ESG Reporting Guide 2024, which aims to assist companies in improving their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting practices. We are excited to see the 3rd edition of this Guide. Our team at dss+ worked closely with the Athens Exchange Group on the development of the first two editions released in 2019 and 2022 and provided feedback and inputs to the ATHEX Group team for the development of the 2024 version. The updated Guide takes into consideration the latest regulatory developments around sustainability reporting, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and the EU Taxonomy. Looking back on the years since the first edition, we are thrilled to report:  - The positive impact of this initiative on reporting practices and, consequently, on the transparency and performance of issuers in Greece. - The advancement of the ATHEX Group’s approach, ownership and contribution to sustainability and the green financial ecosystem. - The recognition of the Guide as a global best practice by stock exchanges and sustainability experts.

McKinsey & Company estimates that demand for carbon credits in the VCM will increase by a factor of 15x or more by 2030, and by a factor of up to 100x by 2050. According to BloombergNEF, demand for carbon credits is already "HUGE." Now with methodologies for issuing credits (rightly!) tightening up, big companies are going to have to work hard to source the large volumes of high integrity credits they'll need to meet their #netzero commitments. Carbon project developers at the bottom of the cost curve are about to have their moment. Watch this space!

It was such a pleasure being on the ESG and Circular Economy panel at yesterday's BCCI Green and Renewable Energy Expo! I thoroughly enjoyed an engaging and thought provoking discussion with Andy Armstrong, Senator Crystal Drakes and moderator Misha Lobban Clarke about the movement we need in the ESG space. How do we gain vital momentum to support our organisations in the movement toward having ESG form an intrinsic part of strategy, so that we avoid box ticking? This we need not only to allow our enterprises to create sustainable and socially responsible value, but also to support our national and regional initiatives to have our voices heard on a global scale. When our leaders rightfully demand accountability and compensation for our disproportionately affected SIDS on the global stage, they must do so knowing that those with economic power locally are doing their part to be responsible - doing well financially while doing good environmentally and socially. These discussions we must continue to have, but we need action. Our latest PwC in the Caribbean Corporate Governance Survey illustrates that we know what needs to be done, but action is lacking. We can and will do better - no action is too small and every positive step is one in the right direction. So we'll keep driving discussion, knowledge sharing and action, so that our boards are equipped to use the "G" to drive the "E" and "S" in meaningful and impactful ways!

Concept of Double Materiality in ESG Double materiality is a concept in sustainable investing that refers to the effects of a business’s practices on both its bottom line and the world at large. It is defined as the union of impact materiality and financial materiality. European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), brought in by the CSRD and coming into effect in 2024, will be the first to introduce mandatory double-materiality sustainability reporting for nearly 50,000 companies operating in the EU. We have summarised the concept for more understanding. Avinash Kumar is the Executive Director and partner with Earthood which is a leading carbon validation & and verification company.
