So believe us when we say: Bringing together industry, scientists, policymakers, local communities, and organizations will help in the dialogue, decision-making, and implementation of solutions to common goals.

As election fervor sweeps through our collective consciousness this year, it's crucial to remember that beyond the rhetoric and bumper sticker slogans, our common ground often outweighs our differences. This sentiment holds true in the realm of sustainable investing and #ESG —a topic we explored in our paper, "Breaking Common Ground." Grounded in research from Penn State and Rokk Solutions, it's unsurprising that most of us want a decent return on our investments that doesn't compromise our health and well-being. #Investing #Sustainability #CommonGround https://lnkd.in/gmYzs7gq

The United States is at risk of marginalizing itself and its influence over the direction of the global economy, the urgent challenge of the energy transition, and the competitiveness of American enterprise. In the first installment of a two-part series, BSR President and CEO Aron Cramer breaks down this risk into four key areas: trade, global cooperation, harmonized sustainability regulations, and political stability, and identifies several of the factors leading the U.S. down this path. #2024election #sustainablebusiness #sustainablefuture #externalaffairs

this is a perfect illustration of a need to mainstream climate action and SDGs through regulation, taxation and fiscal incentives to make nature negative activities simply unprofitable, too risky and expensive. Market won't correct itself fast enough without active, progressive state interventions. This is why in my end of the year blog I talked about the need to stop focusing only on the finance labelled as development and/or climate finance which is intended (but not even delivered), at best, 3-4% of global capital and instead - we need to talk about 105 trillion $ global GDP. Unless we redefine what, where, how, why can be produced, created, traded, reused etc, the change will be too slow and probably too late. https://lnkd.in/eHZnhjnx

I wrote this with a strong sense that uncertainty and pullback in the US is bad for business, bad for Americans, and bad for the wider world. The need to ensure consistent and ambitious approaches to #sustainablebusiness is stronger than ever.

Sustainable finance refers to the process of taking environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into account when making investment decisions in the financial sector, leading to more long-term investments in sustainable economic activities and projects. Environmental considerations might include climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the environment more broadly, for instance the preservation of biodiversity, pollution prevention and the circular economy. Social considerations could refer to issues of inequality, inclusiveness, labour relations, investment in people and their skills and communities, as well as human rights issues. The governance of public and private institutions – including management structures, employee relations and executive remuneration – plays a fundamental role in ensuring the inclusion of social and environmental considerations in the decision-making process. #SustainableFinance #ESGInvesting #ClimateFinance #GreenInvesting #ImpactInvesting #ResponsibleInvesting #FinanceForGood #FutureOfFinance
