It’s moved to the top of the agenda at The World Economic Forum. Sustainable investing assets are growing. And you see more CEOs and corporate policy experts advocating long-term thinking. Virtually everywhere I go there are discussions about the role asset owners and the world’s largest businesses have in society, and how we all should be measuring their performance in that context. Just a few years ago these topics didn’t really resonate beyond Scandinavia, parts of Asia and segments of the investment community. Now they’re pervasive. The rising prominence of environmental, social and governance, or ESG, issues and the market demand for greater insights about these matters make this Sustainability Yearbook more important than ever. This Yearbook stands out for another reason. It’s the first one published by S&P Global. 4 The Sustainability Yearbook 2020 We’re incredibly proud to have acquired We thank everyone who participates in RobecoSAM’s ESG Ratings and the CSA for their continued partnership.

  • TAKING STOCK: Existing Initiatives and Applications
    A PART OF THE TEEB COMMUNITY Valuing nature in business Valuing natural capital in business TAKING STOCK: Existing Initiatives and Applications Why should business and investors be interested in natural capital and this project? For businesses to be viable in the long term the ecosystems and resources they depend on must be maintained, yet when it comes to the natural environment we are seeing a rapid depletion of capital. Economic invisibility has been a major reason for the neglect of natural capital. The current business model creates significant environmental externalities that are not priced eg, damages from climate change, pollution, land conversion and depletion of natural resources. As a result, there is a growing case for understanding the dependencies business has on natural capital, the risks and opportunities associated with this relationship and their real value. Integrating natural capital in business decision making leads to better business decisions with the benefits of greater resilience, improved security of supply and ultimately a sustainable business model. Valuing natural capital specifically can improve business decisions on risk management, supply chain sourcing decisions, new markets/investments, saving costs, sustaining revenues and environmental performance. One of the challenges at present is the lack of a harmonised framework for how to value natural capital and apply it in business decision making. This is what the Coalition’s Natural Capital Protocol project aims to do. We have an open call for business, investors and wider interested stakeholders to participate and shape the future. By participating business and investor participants can gain an early mover understanding and practical application of natural capital valuation.
