  • Investment, Transformation and Leadership CDP S&P 500 Climate
    Investment, transformation and leadership CDP S&P 500 Climate Change Report 2013 On behalf of 722 investors representing US$87 trillion in assets Report written for CDP by PwC The evolution of CDP CDP announced an exciting change this year. Over ten years ago CDP pioneered the only global disclosure system for companies to report their environmental impacts and strategies to investors. In that time, and with your support, CDP has accelerated climate change and natural resource issues to the boardroom and has moved beyond the corporate world to engage with cities and governments. The CDP platform has evolved significantly, supporting multinational purchasers to build more sustainable supply chains. It enables cities around the world to exchange information, take best practice action and build climate resilience. We assess the climate performance of companies and drive improvements through shareholder engagement. Our offering to the global marketplace has expanded to cover a wider spectrum of the earth’s natural capital, specifically water and forests, alongside carbon, energy and climate. For these reasons, we have outgrown our former name of the Carbon Disclosure Project and rebranded to CDP. Many of you already know and refer to us in this way. Our rebrand denotes our progress as we continue to catalyze action and respond to business, finance, investment and environmental needs globally. We now have a look and logo that reflect the scale of the work we must undertake in the coming years to move the markets ahead of where they would otherwise be on these issues and realize truly sustainable economies. Over 5,000 companies from all over the world have been asked to report on climate change through CDP this year; 81% of the world’s 500 largest public companies listed on the FTSE Global 500 engage with CDP to enable effective measurement of their carbon footprint and climate change action; CDP is a not-for-profit organization.

    Asia Trailblazer Summit and Awards 2020 SPECIAL REPORT In-depth analysis of winning strategies and the mindsets that drive success www.rbiasiatrailblazer.verdict.co.uk 1 Editor's Note First off, many thanks to all participating banks in the 11th annual RBI Asia Trailblazer awards. In the most challenging of circumstances, banks across the region are deservedly recognised for the best of the best in retail banking. Over 300 separate entries were received and in all – a record for the event – with 17 separate banks in the region recognised as winners. The quality and the quantity of the entries truly did the event proud. And a huge thank you to all of the winners featured in this supplement for their support. Take a bow Maybank For Maybank to carry off nine award wins is a huge achievement, including the headline win of Asia Trailblazer of the year for institutions. It is also richly deserved with some notable award wins. A number of the award categories across the event were hotly contested with so many strong entries. But in Maybank’s case, it also scored some runaway wins such were the strength of the entries. For example, Maybank scored with its first-of-its-kind e-wallet enabling new or existing customers to open an account via their smartphones. Another especially strong initiative is its Maybank2u Reimagine project, successfully overhauling Malaysia’s number one internet banking service. In addition, Maybank’s Head, Group Virtual Banking, Kalyani Nair deservedly collects the individual award for Asia Trailblazer of the year. On a personal level, I am delighted that the event also recognises Suvo Sarkar, Senior Executive Vice President and Group Head of Retail Banking, Private Banking and Wealth Management, Emirates NBD.
