ESG Fundamentals (Webinar by Plan A)
Sintesi
TLDRLa sessió de la presentació es focalitza en els conceptes clau i la implementació dels criteris ESG en les empreses.

La sessió comença amb una introducció sobre la importància de l'ESG (ambiental, social i de governança), destacant la seva creixent rellevància en els negocis des dels anys 1960. Els impulsors principals inclouen inversors, legislació i pressions del consum públic i dels empleats. Es mencionen marcadors com Bloomberg amb previsió de 53 bilions en actius ESG per 2025. Els consumidors també influeixen destacablement, sent un de cada quatre a vegades canviant de marca per preocupacions ESG.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
Els impulsors implícits com la competència empresarial també es destaquen. Lisa pren la paraula per discutir els estàndards/reporting de l'ESG, introduint la complexitat dels acrònims i la confusió entre marcs, estàndards i regulacions. Explica com l'ESG Frameworks guia les empreses amb principis mentre l'ESG Standards ofereix requisits detallats i replicables.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
Es presenta una matriu de marcs, estàndards, i regulacions populars, diferenciant entre aplicacions globals, UE, UK o EUA. Es destaca que no totes obliguen igualment a totes les empreses, depenent del país, empleats o ingressos. La Directiva de Reportatge No Financer (NFRD) introdueix obligacions fins al 2018 per grans empreses, però amb guies no estandarditzades, causant confusió.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
L'NFRD es convertirà en la Directiva de Reportatge de Sostenibilitat Corporativa (CSRD) ampliant el seu abast i requisits de reportatge. La CSRD inclourà l'impacte doble i requerirà auditoria obligatòria com a mesures per millorar la transparència. Es detalla el cronograma de fases d'aplicació des de 2025 fins 2029 per empreses no UE.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
La Regulació de Divulgació de Finances Sostenibles (SFDR) requereix que el mercat financer divulgui l'impacte en decisions d'inversió. Les entitats hi han de divulgar governs de sostenibilitat, amb desglossament d'Articles 6, 8 i 9, relacionats amb fons financers i l'alineament amb la taxonomia esmentada. Es menciona el canvi envers els estàndards amb més estructura.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:00
El Registre Taxonòmic de la UE ofereix criteris per activitats econòmiques sostenibles en sis àmbits ambientals. No obliga alineament sinó divulgació d'aquest. Es destaca que això facilita a empreses i inversors en fer decisions d'inversió sostenibles. S'enumeren exemples de com s'apliquen les directrius i marcs a nivell global, amb focus en el Regne Unit o altres regions.
- 00:30:00 - 00:40:06
Reiki introdueix l'ESG en acció, ressaltant la necessitat d'una motivació clara i responsabilitat. Aconsella determinar els estàndards o marcs adequats atenent factors com ubicació i regulacions. Explica aspectes tècnics en construir i enviar enquestes sobre temes ESG, i la importància d'un procés eficient de recol·lecció i reflexió sobre dades per competitivitat a llarg termini.

- 00:01:34climate strategy and disclosure
- 00:01:37today together with lisa and we are
- 00:01:39going to give you an overview to all of
- 00:01:42you who are maybe curious interested
- 00:01:44where would like to embark on the
- 00:01:46reporting yesterday reporting journey
- 00:01:48and all the fundamental information
- 00:01:51that's necessary for for you to embark
- 00:01:53on the journey
- 00:01:55um yeah so far so good so let's
- 00:01:57jump into the topic next slide please
- 00:02:05so first we're going to start off with a
- 00:02:07very fundamental question for the esg
- 00:02:09fundamentals
- 00:02:11why does it matter to your business well
- 00:02:13why are we all gathering here today for
- 00:02:16this session
- 00:02:17obviously it matters to every one of us
- 00:02:19to some extent more or less no matter
- 00:02:21whether
- 00:02:22you you you know the reason where you're
- 00:02:24not aware of it yet
- 00:02:26this notion becomes very popular
- 00:02:29in a business arena since 1960s
- 00:02:32and it has been increasingly important
- 00:02:34and embedded in every aspect of the of
- 00:02:36your business are in
- 00:02:39recent years
- 00:02:40next slide please
- 00:02:42um so
- 00:02:43in general we kind of categorized all
- 00:02:45the drivers of esg reporting into two
- 00:02:48parts the explicit drivers for example
- 00:02:51all the drivers that undoubtedly putting
- 00:02:53a pressure on your business for example
- 00:02:55investors those people who put money in
- 00:02:57your business
- 00:02:59now more and more investors have
- 00:03:00realized the importance of this topic
- 00:03:02and kind of consider it as a very
- 00:03:04fundamental and crucial factor when
- 00:03:06they're analyzing
- 00:03:08evaluating
- 00:03:09business whether they are resilient or
- 00:03:12not in the future to the future changes
- 00:03:14or whether they're healthy enough or not
- 00:03:16for a long-term development
- 00:03:18for example according to a bloomberg
- 00:03:20report apparently by
- 00:03:222025 the esg asset might hit
- 00:03:2753 trillion dollars and that's a lot of
- 00:03:29potential on the investment site and the
- 00:03:32next driver is legislation and lisa is
- 00:03:34going to dive in a little bit deeper in
- 00:03:36the next chapter
- 00:03:38but just
- 00:03:39look at how the wind turns around among
- 00:03:41investors and and by definition eesg
- 00:03:44literally it obviously haven't political
- 00:03:46financial or social impact and that will
- 00:03:49lead to
- 00:03:50the introduction of the wreck
- 00:03:52of a lot of regulations gradually moving
- 00:03:55forward which actually already happening
- 00:03:58and now let's look at the other side the
- 00:04:00implicit drivers so those are the driver
- 00:04:02that might not compe communicate with
- 00:04:04you loudly we're putting a pressure on
- 00:04:06you but they are entirely part of your
- 00:04:09business so to some point you have to
- 00:04:11address it and deal with it more or less
- 00:04:14voluntarily for example consumers just
- 00:04:16like investors they put money in your
- 00:04:18product
- 00:04:19and use your product and now more and
- 00:04:21more consumers also started to want to
- 00:04:24have a sustainable life themselves for
- 00:04:26example according to a research one out
- 00:04:28of four consumers in the uk
- 00:04:31us and australia they actually have
- 00:04:33claimed that they actually switch or
- 00:04:35stop the use of one brand that has esg
- 00:04:37concerns
- 00:04:39and the next one is employees well this
- 00:04:42is pretty obvious i guess
- 00:04:44all of us
- 00:04:45are in our employees we're at least once
- 00:04:48employees and we all would like to work
- 00:04:50for a business with good causes
- 00:04:53for example a fairer incentive
- 00:04:55structures or
- 00:04:58inclusive environment or culture
- 00:05:00it does not only make us more feel more
- 00:05:02rewarded or more motivated or it also
- 00:05:06make us be more productive efficiently
- 00:05:08working for our employers so this is
- 00:05:10also a good bonus for employer the
- 00:05:13company point of view
- 00:05:15and then last but not least because all
- 00:05:17the drivers that i've set so far they
- 00:05:19actually all have an impact on your
- 00:05:21business and actually have the same
- 00:05:23impact on all the other competitors and
- 00:05:25peers in the market too
- 00:05:27um so for uh and as a fact actually this
- 00:05:30year the yesterday market has set double
- 00:05:34and there are more and more companies
- 00:05:36just like you
- 00:05:37starting to consider this problem and
- 00:05:39also from the competition point of view
- 00:05:41too
- 00:05:42and so now i will hand it over to lisa
- 00:05:45to dive in a little bit deeper on the
- 00:05:46regulatory access
- 00:05:51thank you rachie um yeah so now that we
- 00:05:54have um looked into why is your esg
- 00:05:57reporting or even the assessment of esg
- 00:06:00criteria might be important for your
- 00:06:02business let's take a closer look into
- 00:06:04the
- 00:06:05existing reporting standards or
- 00:06:07frameworks that exist and that you might
- 00:06:10want to or may have to report on
- 00:06:13next slide please
- 00:06:15so yeah when you start looking into esg
- 00:06:17reporting you encounter a number of
- 00:06:20different abbreviations like i'm sure
- 00:06:22you've heard of cdp
- 00:06:24cstrd
- 00:06:26sfdr all those abbreviations and um not
- 00:06:29only do you encounter different
- 00:06:31abbreviations you even encounter
- 00:06:32different words for esg reporting like
- 00:06:34there's esg frameworks
- 00:06:36he has esg standards lately even esd
- 00:06:39regulations
- 00:06:40and
- 00:06:41i'm sure this is very confusing and
- 00:06:43overwhelming at the start so we actually
- 00:06:45want to help you there a little bit and
- 00:06:47start explaining the difference
- 00:06:49between a framework and a standard and
- 00:06:51also look into how frameworks and
- 00:06:53standards might correlate with
- 00:06:55regulations
- 00:06:56or regulatory requirements
- 00:07:00as a start and easy framework so the esd
- 00:07:02framework is more
- 00:07:04a bit more of a guideline that um
- 00:07:07provides principle-based guidance on how
- 00:07:11the information that you want to report
- 00:07:12on or that you should report on
- 00:07:14according to this framework is
- 00:07:16structured how it should be repaired and
- 00:07:18also what broad topics should be covered
- 00:07:20broad topics as an environmental social
- 00:07:22and governance but there's
- 00:07:24might be also others but yeah those are
- 00:07:27the three main topics
- 00:07:28and um frameworks are a bit less
- 00:07:32valuable um in regards to comparability
- 00:07:35because the framework is more up to the
- 00:07:36interpretation of an individual user of
- 00:07:39this framework so it still leaves like
- 00:07:41room for confusion
- 00:07:43for the market or for investors or
- 00:07:45whoever is interested in your esd
- 00:07:47performance
- 00:07:48whereas an esg standard is a bit more
- 00:07:51straightforward because esg standards
- 00:07:53provide specific detailed and replicable
- 00:07:55requirements and for what should be
- 00:07:58reported in each topic including the the
- 00:08:01metrics that you need that you need or
- 00:08:03should report on
- 00:08:05and therefore an esg standard is way
- 00:08:07more valuable in regards to
- 00:08:08comparability consistency and also
- 00:08:10reliability and disclosures
- 00:08:14both frameworks and standards can be
- 00:08:16mandatory or voluntary we'll take a
- 00:08:18closer look into that in the coming
- 00:08:20slides
- 00:08:21and
- 00:08:22maybe one more thing to say on that
- 00:08:24remarks if you look at it right now i
- 00:08:26would say there's
- 00:08:28there's more frameworks than standards
- 00:08:30on the market but um with the fight
- 00:08:32against queen washing and the growing
- 00:08:34interest of the market investors and
- 00:08:37regulators um
- 00:08:39for
- 00:08:40for esg reporting and and the importance
- 00:08:43of it um and the comparability of it and
- 00:08:46through transparency and the trend is
- 00:08:48leading more towards standards
- 00:08:51so yeah whether an esg standard or
- 00:08:53framework applies to your business
- 00:08:54mainly depends on the country you
- 00:08:57operate in or the jurisdiction in
- 00:08:59the case of the european union um
- 00:09:02or region even
- 00:09:04the number of employees and your annual
- 00:09:06turnover or balance sheet
- 00:09:10and if you could go to the next slide
- 00:09:12nicole
- 00:09:17yeah we have created this
- 00:09:20matrix of the most popular or important
- 00:09:24um not only frameworks and standards but
- 00:09:26also upcoming or existing regulations i
- 00:09:29understand that this can be a bit
- 00:09:30overwhelming now so this should just
- 00:09:32give you a little overlook you see here
- 00:09:34there's
- 00:09:35frameworks or regulations or standards
- 00:09:37that are globally um
- 00:09:39usable um there's also ones that are
- 00:09:41only applied for the eu or the uk or us
- 00:09:44i'm sure also of other countries but we
- 00:09:46have to we had to make some choices here
- 00:09:48so we went for the for the
- 00:09:51like ones that are most important for us
- 00:09:53as a company and of course our like our
- 00:09:55clients
- 00:09:56um
- 00:09:57yeah unfortunately we don't so yeah just
- 00:09:59as a start you see here um
- 00:10:02you see some of them are still in
- 00:10:04progress um indicated by those little
- 00:10:06lines some of them are already in place
- 00:10:08um you see here
- 00:10:10the number of companies who have to
- 00:10:12report them then or who do report on
- 00:10:14them in case of the involuntary ones
- 00:10:18but yeah like we of course we don't have
- 00:10:20the time to dive deep into all of them
- 00:10:22and into the matrix so we had to make
- 00:10:24some choices and
- 00:10:25um
- 00:10:26which one we want to dive a bit deeper
- 00:10:28in
- 00:10:30to and we decided to go for the um
- 00:10:33regulations that are in the european
- 00:10:35union
- 00:10:36mainly because um
- 00:10:39they some of them don't only require eu
- 00:10:42companies but also non-agent companies
- 00:10:44to report on them but more on that
- 00:10:47in the following slides
- 00:10:49the first one that we want to talk about
- 00:10:51briefly is the non-financial reporting
- 00:10:53director
- 00:10:55the non-financial reporting directive
- 00:10:57has required companies in scope since
- 00:10:592018 to publish a non-financial report
- 00:11:02on their esg performance together with
- 00:11:04their management report
- 00:11:07companies who have to
- 00:11:09report on the nfrd are eu company
- 00:11:12largely companies of public interest
- 00:11:15large in that case means they need to
- 00:11:17have more than 500 employees and a
- 00:11:20balance sheet of more than 20 million or
- 00:11:22a turnover of more than 40 million you
- 00:11:25need to
- 00:11:26fulfill two out of those three criteria
- 00:11:29to be in scope and you need to be of
- 00:11:30public interest meaning you have to be
- 00:11:32listed in one of the member states stock
- 00:11:35exchanges or you have to be a bank or an
- 00:11:37insurance company
- 00:11:40um
- 00:11:41the required indicators that you have to
- 00:11:43report on in your est report and your
- 00:11:46nfrd est report reach from environmental
- 00:11:49to social human rights and
- 00:11:51anti-corruption and bible refactors
- 00:11:54and there is um and now we're coming
- 00:11:58back to the framework and standard topic
- 00:12:01for the nfrd there is no clear reporting
- 00:12:03standard
- 00:12:04but only eu guidelines on the reporting
- 00:12:07and those guidelines um yeah are more or
- 00:12:09less like a framework so they give you
- 00:12:12ideas on
- 00:12:14on they they give you those for those
- 00:12:16four big sectors like environmental
- 00:12:18environmental social human rights and
- 00:12:20anti-corruption and bribery
- 00:12:22but
- 00:12:23they don't give you like a clear
- 00:12:25standard they don't tell you you have to
- 00:12:26report on on this indicator in in that
- 00:12:29format they just give you ideas if
- 00:12:31you're of this industry you might want
- 00:12:33to report on this so it's actually very
- 00:12:35again up to the interpretation of the
- 00:12:38individual users and
- 00:12:41that leaves businesses confused and
- 00:12:44maybe maybe not necessarily confused but
- 00:12:47if you look at it if you look at
- 00:12:49existing and nfrd reports they actually
- 00:12:52most of them look very different and
- 00:12:54that
- 00:12:55also leaves the market confused that
- 00:12:57leaves investors confused and also
- 00:12:59leaves auditing and insurance companies
- 00:13:01confused
- 00:13:02um
- 00:13:03[Music]
- 00:13:04and as it is a directive um
- 00:13:08an eu directive how it works is it needs
- 00:13:10to be translated into the single member
- 00:13:12states national law so there might be
- 00:13:14even slight differences between the
- 00:13:15different member states
- 00:13:17so yeah as you can see it is not a clear
- 00:13:19standard and it still leaves room for
- 00:13:21computer confusion and there's actually
- 00:13:23a lot of room for improvement
- 00:13:25and this is why if you could go to the
- 00:13:27next slide
- 00:13:31the nfrd currently is being amended
- 00:13:35into the corporate sustainability
- 00:13:37reporting directive
- 00:13:39the corporate sustainability reporting
- 00:13:41directive amends the scope and the
- 00:13:42reporting requirements of the nfrd
- 00:13:46and about the scope um other than the
- 00:13:49nfrd in the case of the csrd companies
- 00:13:52with more than 250 employees will be in
- 00:13:55scope
- 00:13:56that have either a bigger children over
- 00:13:58than 40 million again or a bigger
- 00:14:00balance sheet of 20 million again and
- 00:14:02also again here like for the nfrd you
- 00:14:04actually have to profile two out of
- 00:14:06those three criteria
- 00:14:08so if you have more than 40 million or
- 00:14:10more than 20 million you don't even have
- 00:14:12to meet the 200 plus 250 employees
- 00:14:15criteria
- 00:14:17other companies and scope here are all
- 00:14:20listed companies they are all listed
- 00:14:22companies except micro enterprises this
- 00:14:25is enterprises with less than 10
- 00:14:27employees
- 00:14:28and um and here is the global aspect of
- 00:14:32this regulation coming into place
- 00:14:34um non-even companies with subsidiaries
- 00:14:38and also have to report on the csrd if
- 00:14:41they make more than 150 million turnover
- 00:14:43in the market
- 00:14:46and so yeah again the csid as you can
- 00:14:49see um it like widens the scope of the
- 00:14:52of the um
- 00:14:55companies who have to report but it also
- 00:14:57introduces more detailed reporting
- 00:14:59requirements and a wider
- 00:15:01scope of reporting requirements
- 00:15:04so additionally to the um things that
- 00:15:06you have to report on and your nf id
- 00:15:08report or businesses have to report on
- 00:15:11in their nf id report they also have to
- 00:15:14start looking into the double
- 00:15:15materiality
- 00:15:17that means they don't only have to
- 00:15:18report on the
- 00:15:20impact they make as a company on
- 00:15:22sustainability factors they also have to
- 00:15:25report on how sustainability factors can
- 00:15:28impact them as a company
- 00:15:30as one example and it's a very
- 00:15:33simple and maybe sydney one but
- 00:15:35i just want to make sure that that i
- 00:15:38that i
- 00:15:39can explain it well
- 00:15:40one example of
- 00:15:42um
- 00:15:43of it would be you are a construction
- 00:15:46company and you build a lot of houses
- 00:15:48around the seaside
- 00:15:49um
- 00:15:50and this actually means that your
- 00:15:53financial performance might be in peril
- 00:15:55because of climate change because the
- 00:15:57sea levels are rising so you might have
- 00:15:59to decide to put less houses on the on
- 00:16:01this um because it's on the seaside or
- 00:16:03another example could be more on the
- 00:16:05social side
- 00:16:06that
- 00:16:07you
- 00:16:08might be a clothing company and you
- 00:16:10don't look a lot into the human rights
- 00:16:12in your supply chain
- 00:16:14and this could cause
- 00:16:16you a loss of um
- 00:16:18of
- 00:16:19income because more and more customers
- 00:16:22are looking into
- 00:16:23um humans right human rights in the
- 00:16:25supply chain or sustainability and
- 00:16:27clothing
- 00:16:31um so besides this double materiality in
- 00:16:34your csid report and you will also have
- 00:16:37to start
- 00:16:39including more forward-looking
- 00:16:40information like including targets that
- 00:16:42you might set as a company but also the
- 00:16:44progress you make on those targets
- 00:16:46and
- 00:16:49a huge step in comparison to the nfrd is
- 00:16:51that companies will have to start
- 00:16:54reporting according to mandatory eu
- 00:16:56sustainability reporting standards so
- 00:16:58this is to then actually have the
- 00:17:01the comparison to
- 00:17:03other companies
- 00:17:05and therefore it also makes it easier
- 00:17:07for for audit and insurance companies um
- 00:17:09and there will be with the csid also the
- 00:17:12introduction of mandatory audit and
- 00:17:14insurance standards because for the nfrd
- 00:17:17currently
- 00:17:18um for example in germany the um
- 00:17:21[Music]
- 00:17:23there's only a check if you include a
- 00:17:25non-financial report in your management
- 00:17:27report they don't even check the content
- 00:17:29of it
- 00:17:30and that will change with the csid there
- 00:17:32will be a standard for the auditing and
- 00:17:35also the ddd content check of of what
- 00:17:37you publish
- 00:17:40and the application date will start to
- 00:17:42be phased in from 2025 and that means
- 00:17:45that companies who are already reporting
- 00:17:47on the nfrd will have to start reporting
- 00:17:49in 2025 for the year 2024
- 00:17:52and then the other large companies will
- 00:17:54have to start reporting in 2026 for the
- 00:17:57year 2025.
- 00:18:00and
- 00:18:01small and medium-sized enterprises will
- 00:18:03have to start reporting in 2027 for the
- 00:18:06year 2026 since i'm almost done if you
- 00:18:09are a non-eu company you will only have
- 00:18:11to start reporting in 2029
- 00:18:15so yeah
- 00:18:16there was it about the cse da csid i
- 00:18:19would love like to now
- 00:18:21look a bit closer to the to one of the
- 00:18:24regulations that is actually industry
- 00:18:25specific and if you could go to the next
- 00:18:28slide
- 00:18:30that is the sustainable finance
- 00:18:32disclosure regulation and maybe you've
- 00:18:34heard of it maybe not the sustainable
- 00:18:36finance disclosure regulation requires
- 00:18:38financial market participants to
- 00:18:40disclose how they consider
- 00:18:42sustainability related impacts in their
- 00:18:44investment decision
- 00:18:48it is
- 00:18:50that the companies in school are all
- 00:18:52financial market participants but not
- 00:18:54only the ones in the eu but also all the
- 00:18:57ones that offer financial products on
- 00:18:58the market
- 00:19:00so if for example you are in us based vc
- 00:19:03and one of your funds also
- 00:19:06finances a u-based company you also have
- 00:19:09to look into sftr reporting
- 00:19:12um
- 00:19:12this is why as a region we put even plus
- 00:19:15global and and the status says plus mine
- 00:19:18is affected meaning that some of the
- 00:19:20reporting requirements are already in
- 00:19:22place some of them will start to be
- 00:19:25reported on in
- 00:19:26january 2023
- 00:19:29the sfdr aims to provide more
- 00:19:31transparency on sustainability within
- 00:19:34the financial markets also in a
- 00:19:36standardized way so we have a standard
- 00:19:38again to reorient capital flow flows
- 00:19:41towards sustainable investments and
- 00:19:43therefore prevent and also prevent queen
- 00:19:45washing and ensure comparability
- 00:19:48and the reporting
- 00:19:50requirements of the sfrd and will be
- 00:19:54both on entity and product level um and
- 00:19:57there will be reporting standards for
- 00:19:59both
- 00:20:00entity level meaning um
- 00:20:03if you're a financial market participant
- 00:20:05and you you will have to report for
- 00:20:07example
- 00:20:09or disclose the policies and that you
- 00:20:12use on the integration of sustainability
- 00:20:15risk and investment decisions but you
- 00:20:17also have to report on the principal at
- 00:20:19vs impact that you make as an entity on
- 00:20:23sustainability factors
- 00:20:25and product level disclosures means that
- 00:20:28again if you are abc and you offer funds
- 00:20:30you have also have to look into the
- 00:20:33sustainability of this fund and this
- 00:20:37actually is i think this is the most
- 00:20:39challenging bit because that means that
- 00:20:42you will need sustainability data from
- 00:20:44all your portfolio companies in order to
- 00:20:47report on the sustainability of your
- 00:20:49product
- 00:20:51and just a tiny
- 00:20:54little deep dive into the product level
- 00:20:56disclosure we don't have the time to get
- 00:20:58too deep into it but probably if you're
- 00:21:01a financial market participant you've
- 00:21:03heard of the article 6 8 and 9 different
- 00:21:06differentiation
- 00:21:07because there's actually a
- 00:21:08differentiation between those
- 00:21:10differently classified financial
- 00:21:12products in regards of the reporting
- 00:21:14requirements
- 00:21:15and a little
- 00:21:18a small look into it is just that
- 00:21:20article six products uh financial
- 00:21:23products that do not claim any
- 00:21:25environmental or like any esg objective
- 00:21:28whatsoever then there is the arctic aid
- 00:21:31products they are called the light cream
- 00:21:33products
- 00:21:34those are products that promote somehow
- 00:21:37environmental social factors
- 00:21:39and then there is the arctic inline
- 00:21:41products that are products that actually
- 00:21:43have um
- 00:21:45sustainable investment as their core
- 00:21:47objective and one of the differences
- 00:21:49between reporting for rtq6 products and
- 00:21:52in comparison to article 8 and 9
- 00:21:54products is the disclosure of your
- 00:21:57taxonomy alignment you have to do that
- 00:21:59for eight and nine
- 00:22:00and uh that leads me to the next slide
- 00:22:04d eo taxonomy um
- 00:22:08taxonomy is a classification as it's a
- 00:22:11it's um from
- 00:22:13regulation too and it the taxonomy is a
- 00:22:16classification that sets criteria to
- 00:22:20determine whether an economic activity
- 00:22:22significantly contributes to the sixth
- 00:22:24environmental objectives that are
- 00:22:27defined by the regulations
- 00:22:29those
- 00:22:30environmental objectives being climate
- 00:22:32change mitigation climate change
- 00:22:34adaptation sustainable use and
- 00:22:36protection of water and marine resources
- 00:22:40transition to a circular economy
- 00:22:42pollution prevention and control and
- 00:22:44protection of healthy ecosystems
- 00:22:49the eu taxonomy is
- 00:22:52applicable for all companies that are in
- 00:22:54the scope of the nfrd or in the coming
- 00:22:57csrp and also our companies that are in
- 00:23:00scope of the sfdr
- 00:23:02so i feel like that many people think
- 00:23:05that the eu taxonomy will require an
- 00:23:07additional
- 00:23:10report but that is not the case detects
- 00:23:12the disclosures that you are required to
- 00:23:15do in accordance to the eu taxonomy will
- 00:23:18have to be disclosed with your
- 00:23:19non-financial report that you do for the
- 00:23:21nfid or csid or that you do for the sftr
- 00:23:26and um yeah the eu taxonomy is a tool to
- 00:23:29help companies and investors make
- 00:23:31sustainable investment decisions
- 00:23:33and
- 00:23:35also i feel like this is also a
- 00:23:37misunderstanding and subjects to the eu
- 00:23:40taxonomy are obliged to report on their
- 00:23:42in taxonomy alignment they are not
- 00:23:44obliged to
- 00:23:46be taxonomy aligned
- 00:23:51yeah so this was our little um deep dive
- 00:23:54into the four main regular four
- 00:23:55regulations around esg reporting in the
- 00:23:58eu if you could go to the next lightning
- 00:24:00call
- 00:24:07yeah just to get back to this matrix you
- 00:24:09see we only covered like a minimum of
- 00:24:12what is out there and there is um of
- 00:24:15course i'm not sure if um if any of you
- 00:24:18are from the uk
- 00:24:20uh you see we also have the sccr that is
- 00:24:23very um relevant for the uk also now
- 00:24:26since april 2022 dtcfd
- 00:24:29um so if you have any questions on those
- 00:24:32please feel free to reach out and we're
- 00:24:34happy to help also use the q a session
- 00:24:37in the end of this webinar
- 00:24:43maybe we can use this slide to quickly
- 00:24:45take a break to see if there are any
- 00:24:47questions or if people are ready to
- 00:24:49continue to the next part of the session
- 00:24:56okay if everything is clear thanks a lot
- 00:24:59lisa then i think the next part will be
- 00:25:02reiki
- 00:25:07um so just now lisa
- 00:25:10covered the regulatory point part of
- 00:25:13this topic and now i'm going to be
- 00:25:15responsible for the practical
- 00:25:17aspect of this topic yes she in action
- 00:25:20so how to get started on on this journey
- 00:25:23what steps are needed etc
- 00:25:26next step please
- 00:25:30so as i talked about earlier at the
- 00:25:32beginning of this session the in the
- 00:25:34explicit and and implicit factors so now
- 00:25:37they are very important because they
- 00:25:38cert they serve as the trigger
- 00:25:41to kick off the whole esg reporting
- 00:25:44journey and as a first step next slide
- 00:25:46please nicole thanks
- 00:25:50so
- 00:25:51as the first step
- 00:25:54it's also the most fundamental step
- 00:25:56actually uh because that defines really
- 00:25:59the direction and trend and the
- 00:26:00tractatory of your esg reporting process
- 00:26:03moving forward
- 00:26:04um which is
- 00:26:06determining motivation and
- 00:26:07accountability this is very important
- 00:26:09because just as you can see just now
- 00:26:11from
- 00:26:12lisa's session that yesterday market
- 00:26:14right now is still
- 00:26:16quite voluntary uh there's obligation
- 00:26:19but there's some obligation for some
- 00:26:21certain
- 00:26:22criteria depending on the frame
- 00:26:23framework and region so in general it's
- 00:26:26still quite voluntary uh and it's not
- 00:26:28much very clearly defined as lisa i just
- 00:26:31now mentioned there's a lot of
- 00:26:33interpretation situation going on and
- 00:26:36there's not also not a lot of defined
- 00:26:37pathways so here is why it's very
- 00:26:39important to do from the first step to
- 00:26:41understand and checking with your own
- 00:26:43company and checking with yourself why
- 00:26:45you're wanting to doing it what is your
- 00:26:47goal what is your motivation and
- 00:26:50what who do you want to showcase this to
- 00:26:52which means aka your stakeholder that
- 00:26:55you care the most
- 00:26:56about for example is it um simply a
- 00:26:59reaction or response to an investor
- 00:27:02request or is it a customer feedback or
- 00:27:06is it a mandate um by your board members
- 00:27:09or simply just pressed by a certain
- 00:27:11regulation
- 00:27:12no so whatever the reason is or maybe
- 00:27:14it's also in like internal engagement
- 00:27:17right so whatever the the reason is it's
- 00:27:19really important to check in with
- 00:27:21yourself and reflect on this topic um so
- 00:27:24that you can stick with your company
- 00:27:26value and also stay true of your own
- 00:27:28company in this kind of fast changing
- 00:27:30and fast growing market
- 00:27:33um so ideally
- 00:27:35um it should be start like like start
- 00:27:37off with um with a strategy report like
- 00:27:40a proper esg strategy so that you can
- 00:27:42company wise align on your value
- 00:27:45strategy inflammation operation
- 00:27:47operation etc
- 00:27:48but if you haven't have it yet uh
- 00:27:51keeping at least a list of the checkoff
- 00:27:54boxes
- 00:27:55of your core values is also very
- 00:27:57important for you to do to stick with
- 00:27:59yourself and with your own company's
- 00:28:00value and also that will also help you
- 00:28:02as a first step to
- 00:28:04use to improve and develop your esg
- 00:28:06strategy
- 00:28:08next step please
- 00:28:11and now we know where we're going to go
- 00:28:13and which direction we're like we want
- 00:28:15to have and what is our general
- 00:28:17expectation then this time to choose an
- 00:28:19appropriate esg standard or frame
- 00:28:21framework or regulation so this uh step
- 00:28:24i call what uh lisa talked about just
- 00:28:27now in the previous session
- 00:28:29um all these factors um as as you can
- 00:28:32see just now he mentioned like she
- 00:28:34mentioned there's a lot of factor that
- 00:28:35influence your your geographical
- 00:28:38location for example so just like when
- 00:28:41you want to do online shopping like get
- 00:28:43a birkenstock shoes and then you then
- 00:28:45you have to use them like the filtering
- 00:28:47function to narrow down whether it's
- 00:28:49free delivery what texture
- 00:28:51um whether it's sustainable etc etc
- 00:28:54there are also a series of factors that
- 00:28:57can help you narrow down
- 00:28:59for example a next slide please nicole
- 00:29:04so
- 00:29:05for example your geographical location a
- 00:29:08certain framework or regulation is
- 00:29:10applicable in certain region but it's
- 00:29:12not applicable in other regions or for
- 00:29:16example whether it's obligatory or not
- 00:29:19and that's links to a lot of other
- 00:29:20factors for example the just as lisa
- 00:29:23said
- 00:29:24the revenue the size of your company the
- 00:29:26legal status etc etc
- 00:29:29and in general the bigger the company is
- 00:29:32your organization is where the more
- 00:29:34revenue you have there's a higher
- 00:29:36likelihood that you're gonna have more
- 00:29:38obligation to comply
- 00:29:40but for the smes the small and and
- 00:29:43medium enterprises um maybe you will be
- 00:29:46a bit lost on which option to fit in
- 00:29:48because there might be less obligation
- 00:29:50for you then in this case this is where
- 00:29:52the first step kicks in right then you
- 00:29:55can check in with your own corporate
- 00:29:57roadmap your strategy your stakeholders
- 00:30:00and listen to their opinion and to
- 00:30:02figure out maybe there's a certain topic
- 00:30:04that you would like to cover that people
- 00:30:05care the most about that you can also
- 00:30:07use this as the criteria to choose a
- 00:30:10framework or or standard that suits you
- 00:30:13because this is what
- 00:30:15you really care about actually
- 00:30:18and next step
- 00:30:20please and then once you know what you
- 00:30:23want and the next step is actually um a
- 00:30:27bit more technical because now you know
- 00:30:28what you want and all you need to do is
- 00:30:30just get a tool to get it to disclose
- 00:30:32what you want to disclose so usually
- 00:30:35right in the market we usually use a set
- 00:30:37of like a selection of questions to
- 00:30:39cover the esg topics that you care the
- 00:30:41most about
- 00:30:42um so that those set of questions will
- 00:30:45have to be responded so in the end it
- 00:30:47will be a esg re
- 00:30:49report so in this case we call this
- 00:30:52selection of questions a survey so just
- 00:30:54so you know you're not going to be
- 00:30:56confused moving forward when i call
- 00:30:57something a survey so this step is
- 00:31:00mainly about building and sending out
- 00:31:02the survey about your esg performance or
- 00:31:05if you're a financial institution you're
- 00:31:07the esr performance of your portfolio
- 00:31:09company
- 00:31:10um next slide please nicole
- 00:31:14and uh and yes so in this case it will
- 00:31:17be a bit more technical um so you will
- 00:31:20need to uh so so this is a time for you
- 00:31:23you can seek for third-party um
- 00:31:26help for example at plan day we also
- 00:31:28help on this but whoever you are working
- 00:31:30with it's also important to realize that
- 00:31:33the final decision making just lies in
- 00:31:35your hand you also need to consider
- 00:31:37before you find or seek for other
- 00:31:39people's help just to build a survey for
- 00:31:42for example what is the capacity on your
- 00:31:44site
- 00:31:45dedicated to this report for example if
- 00:31:48you are a company or your investor who
- 00:31:50want to request from your portfolio
- 00:31:52company then it's time to think about
- 00:31:54what kind of effort you expect from
- 00:31:56people who fill out those questions
- 00:31:59what how much time you would like them
- 00:32:00to allocate to filling it out
- 00:32:03and how much time of the notice you
- 00:32:05would like to ask so all this question
- 00:32:06is very important to help you to develop
- 00:32:08a survey for example if you know that
- 00:32:10you you don't have a lot of expectations
- 00:32:12and people don't do much then maybe you
- 00:32:15can make then maybe you will realize
- 00:32:17that having a whole survey of 100
- 00:32:19questions might be a little bit
- 00:32:20uh unrealistic for you etc etc so here
- 00:32:24this step the building and sending out
- 00:32:26survey is pretty technical but also
- 00:32:28there's something that you have to
- 00:32:29consider moving forward
- 00:32:32and then the next step once you send out
- 00:32:33the survey then now is the time to
- 00:32:35consolidate and validate your responses
- 00:32:39and i can see here most of you are
- 00:32:42already in a process of collecting data
- 00:32:44for carbon
- 00:32:45emissions where already have reached the
- 00:32:47first milestone of your baseline your
- 00:32:49carbon
- 00:32:50emissions so you guys might already have
- 00:32:52an idea of how how it looks like when
- 00:32:54you're collecting data for your carbon
- 00:32:56emissions so these things kind of go
- 00:32:58from here too you're collecting
- 00:33:00data regarding your esg performance no
- 00:33:02matter from your company also from your
- 00:33:04portfolio company
- 00:33:06so
- 00:33:07when we're then let's just think about
- 00:33:08the structure when you're collecting
- 00:33:09data for your carbon emissions the first
- 00:33:11step is to inform others and mobilize
- 00:33:13other people so that they know why
- 00:33:15they're doing it and what they're
- 00:33:17working for
- 00:33:18and also the second step is also of
- 00:33:20course to set up a structure with
- 00:33:21deadline
- 00:33:22accountability responsible people so
- 00:33:25that you can create a structure that can
- 00:33:27make the whole consolidation process
- 00:33:29more efficiently
- 00:33:31so here are the keywords
- 00:33:33next slide please
- 00:33:35so here the keyword is uh
- 00:33:38mobilization
- 00:33:40so now it revert back to the first um
- 00:33:43step again right we talk about explicit
- 00:33:46trigger and implicit trigger they're
- 00:33:47having an impact on you so that makes
- 00:33:50you want to diving deeper on the esg
- 00:33:53esg topic so the same goes for people
- 00:33:55who are going to fill out that report
- 00:33:57too so now it's also this is
- 00:34:00important for you to convey this message
- 00:34:01for them knowing that this is not a
- 00:34:03random question for administration this
- 00:34:06is actually a
- 00:34:08selection of questions that actually
- 00:34:10want to
- 00:34:11to have something for long-term
- 00:34:13resilience and development
- 00:34:16and next step please
- 00:34:19i know it's a little bit tricky that
- 00:34:21you have to go step by step
- 00:34:23and uh yeah and then once you collect
- 00:34:25all your um responses for esg uh then
- 00:34:29it's time for you to take a deep look at
- 00:34:31it
- 00:34:32and then to what's going on
- 00:34:34and then here the key words is insight
- 00:34:37and reflection
- 00:34:39uh next slide please
- 00:34:42and
- 00:34:43why
- 00:34:44because just as i said
- 00:34:46that esg market right now is still
- 00:34:49fast developing and there's so there's
- 00:34:51it's not really clearly defined so every
- 00:34:53step you make it's actually you're
- 00:34:55exploring yourself and then find a
- 00:34:57better way to be better react to the
- 00:34:59future and not only you everybody else
- 00:35:01is like this even the regulatory market
- 00:35:03is is like this so so this so the inside
- 00:35:06here is very very important so that you
- 00:35:08figure out where you stand what's your
- 00:35:10pain point what are you good at
- 00:35:13uh if you're a company who want to
- 00:35:15report for yourself then now you it's a
- 00:35:17time that you can straightforwardly have
- 00:35:18a look and how is your esg performance
- 00:35:22on topic that you really care about like
- 00:35:24strategically speaking
- 00:35:26um maybe there will be some surprise
- 00:35:28popping up and you realize oh wow like
- 00:35:30this is actually i took it for granted
- 00:35:32it's actually working like this and
- 00:35:33actually it's not working like that and
- 00:35:34now it's the time for you to realize
- 00:35:36okay maybe i should moving forward work
- 00:35:38on this
- 00:35:39and if you are an investor you requested
- 00:35:42reports from your portfolio company and
- 00:35:45now you will have an aggregation of the
- 00:35:47of all the reports and then you can
- 00:35:49either choose to dive in deep into each
- 00:35:52one of your portfolio company to check
- 00:35:54how is it going to each one of them or
- 00:35:57you can go also aggregate everything
- 00:35:58together and then take a deeper look at
- 00:36:01how is the general situation of esg
- 00:36:03performance in your portfolio in general
- 00:36:05so that you can also strategically have
- 00:36:07a look at okay is it does it really fit
- 00:36:10into where i want to go in the future
- 00:36:12and then if it doesn't fit how can i
- 00:36:14move forward or okay maybe during the
- 00:36:17course of the data collection of the esg
- 00:36:19report collection there's a lot of other
- 00:36:21things going on you have more strategy
- 00:36:23coming out more market player coming out
- 00:36:26with more regulation coming out then you
- 00:36:27can strategize okay this is where i
- 00:36:29where i'm from and what i how i can
- 00:36:31improve moving forward
- 00:36:34so it's all like a building up
- 00:36:36process
- 00:36:38next step please
- 00:36:40and yeah and the last step is
- 00:36:43communication uh well we are all
- 00:36:45business who want to have a good cause
- 00:36:46and who want to live up to the purpose
- 00:36:48but
- 00:36:49at the end of the day we also want to
- 00:36:50showcase all the efforts to the
- 00:36:52stakeholders that we care about right
- 00:36:54um communication on the esg
- 00:36:57performance help us to build up a
- 00:36:59reputation to our audience
- 00:37:01publicly
- 00:37:02and also help you to be more
- 00:37:04transparency internally externally and
- 00:37:07also yes she also help you to prove that
- 00:37:09or you you are making an
- 00:37:11effort to live up to what you want to be
- 00:37:14um so this is very important and when
- 00:37:17you communicate it's also again let's
- 00:37:19highlight the first step
- 00:37:21look back to your motivation and your
- 00:37:23original story and to take a look
- 00:37:26at what you want to communicate and so
- 00:37:28that and who would you would like to
- 00:37:30communicate so be so be sure that it's
- 00:37:32still aligned with your whole corporate
- 00:37:34strategy so you're not doing this for
- 00:37:36someone else and you're actually doing
- 00:37:38this for yourself actually that helps
- 00:37:40you to be more resilient moving forward
- 00:37:42too so you can co so you can convey the
- 00:37:45right message to the right audience
- 00:37:49uh next step please
- 00:37:51so
- 00:37:51uh here
- 00:37:53i i actually give some uh examples of
- 00:37:58the reports the yesterday report and
- 00:38:01what you can build into in the end and
- 00:38:03on the right side as you can see many of
- 00:38:05you by very familiar the first one is
- 00:38:08the carbon emissions report
- 00:38:10from our carbon emissions uh calculator
- 00:38:13and this is actually definitely can be
- 00:38:15of use of part of your question of the e
- 00:38:18environmental questions and the other
- 00:38:20two pages i just took a screenshot of um
- 00:38:23of of our esg report uh generated from
- 00:38:26esg model but what we can but you can
- 00:38:29definitely it's very flexible how how
- 00:38:31you would like to use all those data for
- 00:38:33example on the left side i also uh
- 00:38:36give some examples of some publicly
- 00:38:38disclosed reports from other company
- 00:38:41for example on the on the on the top
- 00:38:43side there's you can definitely use all
- 00:38:45those uh performance results as the
- 00:38:48performance uh annex in any one of your
- 00:38:51report that you would like to disclose
- 00:38:53and on the on the left bottom quarter
- 00:38:56you can also use it as just like a
- 00:38:58regulation compliance report for example
- 00:39:01this example is tcfd and also the right
- 00:39:04corner
- 00:39:05bottom corner is also something you can
- 00:39:07also use from your inside that you
- 00:39:09derive from the
- 00:39:11from the uh from your yesterday
- 00:39:13performance and make it part of your esg
- 00:39:15strategy or even annual report and just
- 00:39:18you wanted to know that all the sample
- 00:39:19that we create is there's no like stance
- 00:39:21that we said they're the best it's just
- 00:39:23to give you have an overlook like an
- 00:39:25overview of okay you actually have some
- 00:39:27flexible use of it and that's really
- 00:39:30depending on you and again that's really
- 00:39:32still go back to your own story and your
- 00:39:34own narrative
