    UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT Communication on Progress 2019 March 2018 to February 2019 UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT Communication on Progress 2019 STATEMENT OF SUPPORT South Pole became a signatory to the UN Global Compact in July 2015. This communication on progress presents an update on our ongoing activities in support of the Principles of the UN Global Compact. I am pleased to reaffirm South Pole’s support of the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment and Anti-corruption. In this, our first annual Communication on Progress, we describe our actions to integrate the Global Compact and its principles into our business strategy, culture and daily operations. We are also committed to sharing this information with our stakeholders using our primary channels of communication. South Pole acts today ‘for a better tomorrow’. This is our purpose. We are here to protect Antarctica – the last continent untouched by man – its unspoilt nature and pristine habitats. Through our work, we also help empower the Global South via the positive impacts that our emission reductions and renewable energy projects add on the ground to local biodiversity, communities and the economy. We recognise the complexity of the challenge – that the social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development have to go hand in hand – and we are determined to help preserve our planet and its ecosystems for future generations. Yours sincerely, Renat Heuberger, CEO South Pole March 2019 2 | South Pole UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT Communication on Progress 2019 South Pole | 3 UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT Communication on Progress 2019 ABOUT SOUTH POLE South Pole is a leading provider of global sustainability financing solutions and services, with more than 300 experts over 18 offices worldwide.

  • South Pole Group Wins Four Categories in Environmental Finance's 2016
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE South Pole Group wins four categories in Environmental Finance’s 2016 Market Ranking Awards Zurich, Switzerland, 9 December, 2016 - South Pole Group has been voted number 1 in four categories in Environmental Finance’s 17th Annual Market Rankings, the largest and most established industry rankings within the carbon, renewable energy, weather risk, and catastrophe risk markets. The Group took home the titles of Best Trading Company - secondary market and Best Project Developer in carbon markets, as well as Best Trading Company and Best Advisory in renewable energy certificates. The prestigious Market Ranking awards recognises the Group’s innovative approach and longstanding expertise in sustainability project development and advisory. "We are proud to receive such an invaluable confirmation of our work from clients, partners and industry peers. It’s the first time we are running for the Market Rankings Award and this is a great honour," says Renat Heuberger, CEO, South Pole Group. "Organisations of all sizes are starting to demonstrate a genuine commitment towards climate change mitigation and renewable energy, to their customers, employees, investors, and other stakeholders – we are glad to see that we stand out as their preferred choice of reliable provider." As decision-makers and businesses work towards limiting global warming to the 2°C pathway called for in the Paris Climate Agreement, the adoption of market-based approaches that enhance international cooperation, such as carbon markets, are increasingly seen as one of the most efficient ways to tackle environmental challenges. While South Pole Group has today grown into one of the world’s leading sustainability solutions providers, it also builds on a decade’s worth of experience and investments in offering high-quality carbon credit solutions.

  • South Pole Sustainability Report
    South Pole Sustainability report SOUTH POLE Sustainability report 2019 January 2019 – December 2019 South Pole SustainabilitySouth Pole report Sustainability report STATEMENT OF SUPPORT Climate change is the challenge of our era. Not long ago, it was seen as a distant threat to our future. Increasingly, it is becoming our reality, a new normal. Barely a day passes without a reference in the media to the threats of climate change and the urgent need for action. At South Pole, we believe that a greener tomorrow is within reach if we act today to limit global warming. This is why, from its foundation 14 years ago, South Pole has been fighting climate change by supporting projects that lower emissions, helping businesses and organisations succeed in their climate ambitions and transition to a low carbon future, and catalyse investments in impact funds. It is in our power – as businesses, investors, governments, and individuals – to bend the arc of greenhouse gas emissions. As we progress towards a climate positive future, we need to keep in mind that rising sea levels, droughts and hurricanes hit vulnerable populations the hardest. So, while global warming increases inequality, the solutions we deploy fight it: every day, in over 20 countries, we help our clients create tens of thousands of jobs in developing countries, channel hundreds of millions of dollars in new green business models, and improve living conditions for people around the world. This report contains examples of our work that bring this purpose and commitment to life. You will read about the steps we are taking to become more environmentally sustainable and socially responsible in everything we do.
