On the (repurposed) ferry back to the city after the final day of the Climate Change and Business Conference, I was thinking about business models… I’ve said it before and the conference once again reinforced it to me: - the why is unequivocal (science) - the what is well known (solutions) - the how is the job to be done (strategy, business models, financing to scale the solutions) And there were some interesting business model themes that came through for me during the conference. The potential business model archetypes that seem to be growing in importance are those centred around: - repurposing (capabilities and assets) - aggregating (spacial and temporal) - standardising (supply and demand) - disintermediating (scientific and digital innovation) - collaborating (intra and inter-industry) ***edit from the bike into work*** Swap: - collaborating (intra and inter-industry) *necessary across all archetypes* For: - smoothing (volatility/turbulence and uncertainty) *** I think a lot of these emerge from the addressing the challenges and capitalising on the advantages associated with our scale and couple nicely with a focused strategy around key niches, particularly in the global context. Thanks everyone I had a chance to catch up with for the thought provoking discussions throughout the conference.

We were lucky enough to host the Responsible Asset Owners Global Symposia (RAOGlobal.org) Europe 2024 event last week at Crown Place. Having worn out a notepad or two (and several pints of coffee) to prep for the overview of the day, here are some of the key themes: ▪️ You cannot manage what you cannot measure - asset managers are being asked to collect more and more information. That information must be high-quality to allow management of risks.  ▪️ Precision of language is key - expressions have different meanings within organisations, let alone across various rules and regs on sustainability. When setting goals or making disclosures, the meaning needs to be clear to make progress. ▪️ It’s all about the (right) numbers - numbers and metrics are often backward looking. This can hide current issues and the direction of travel. ▪️ Benefit horizon - businesses must have the courage to disclose when targets have not been met. In some cases, missing a short-term target may in fact have a more positive long-term impact. ▪️ Stewardship – there is a cross-Atlantic bifurcation on approaches to stewardship (expression of the day... for which I can’t/won’t take credit). Proposed changes to the stewardship code have generally not been well-received so please participate in the FRC consultation – 19 Feb 2025! ▪️ Putting a price on nature - there are a number of viable paths to allocating capital to nature. The pressure on allocation comes from investors, regulators, employees and, a distant last, customers.  #ResponsibleInvestment #RAOEurope24 #SustainableFinance

It was a pleasure to participate and discuss with our European Commission, European Investment Fund (EIF), and banking partners ways in which we can scale up #greenfinance. We discussed the need for workable models for #transition finance, especially for #SMEs that are the backbone of the #EUeconomy. We presented our #green eligibility checker and #sustainability guarantee tools - currently being used by the majority of our #financialintermediary partners across the #EU to interpret the green eligibility requirements of European Investment Bank (EIB) Group and #InvestEU financing - and a model we believe for a future "green loan label" that is much needed in the market, to scale up green and transition financing and accessing the #capitalmarkets as part of a #CMU.
