New research from S&P Global Sustainable1, with support from Capitals Coalition, reveals that publicly listed companies generate trillions of dollars in unaccounted-for environmental costs annually. The report highlights the hidden costs to the environment and society of companies' direct operations across more than 12,000 listed companies. Key findings include: - These listed companies were responsible for $3.71 trillion in unpriced environmental costs across their direct operations in 2021 — equal to more than 4% of global GDP that year. - About one quarter of the companies generated unpriced environmental costs larger than their net income. - GHG emissions, air pollution, and land use are the largest sources of environmental costs generated by these companies. 🔎 Read the report here: https://okt.to/z80cyp #SustainableFinance #EnvironmentalImpact #CorporateResponsibility #GHG #AirPollution #LandUseIimpacts #NaturalCapital Esther Whieldon Matt MacFarland Alasdair Wilson Georgina Mattiacci Rosanna Brady Oliver Goodearl MSc (Hons)

Challenges raised in the article: 1) Verifying "additionality" of carbon offset projects. 2) Addressing the risk of "greenwashing" by companies. 3) Ensuring transparency in the carbon credits system. 4) Enhancing regulatory standards to prevent "environmental deceit." 5) Overcoming legal complexities in cross-border transactions. 6) Establishing consistent standards and frameworks for carbon trading internationally. https://lnkd.in/dkJ3rApr

Transparency and disclosure must sit at the heart of a business approach to sustainability, so it’s really excellent to see a huge increase in the number of companies (now over 24,000) disclosing information to CDP in this disclosure cycle - a 24% increase versus last year And very proud to see Coca-Cola Europacific Partners retain ‘A’ list position for Climate for the eighth year running. Like all A listed companies, we undoubtedly have much more to do, but earning a place on the Climate A list, alongside our ‘A-‘ score for CDP Water, gives us huge confidence that we are headed in the right direction. Congrats to all of the companies on the A List and to the team at CDP for overseeing the latest disclosure cycle.

The “E” in ESG and carbon credit market The environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) reporting standards and requirements are inconsistent across the globe. In general "E" - environmental portion of ESG considers company’s utilization of natural resources and the effect of their operations on the environment. This includes environmental impact, and efforts to reduce carbon emissions. The voluntary carbon markets can support achieving these sustainable development goals. Although voluntary carbon markets have shrunk for the first time in at least seven years, the McKinsey research shows that demand for the carbon credits is estimated to increase by a factor of 15 or more by 2030, and by a factor of up to 100 by 2050. Overall, the market for carbon credits could be worth upward of $50 billion in 2030. #ESG #environmentalimpact #carboncredits
