[COP29][Day 2][Financing business adaptation][Sia Partners] 📈 Adaptation to climate change is the growing topic among climate concerns. Indeed, we did not invest enough money, time and skills in mitigating global GHG emissions since COP21 to avoid massive climatic backlashes today. ⛈ Consequently, climatic hazards will continue to intensify in the coming years and even long after carbon neutrality has been achieved, because of the climatic inertia of GHG and their potential feedback loop effects. 🚨 And public authorities and companies are not ready for the changes underway. 💸 Indeed, adaptation to climate change is currently largely underfunded. According to Sia Partners analysis based on the Climate Policy Initiative Report, less than 1% of private financing needs in adaptation to climate change were invested by companies last year. ➡ Yet, adaptation is not a sunk cost but a real investment: 1/ for countries to avoid massive Loss and Damage costs in the next decades, and  2/ for companies to ensure safety, continuity and competitiveness as seizing new opportunities 🔎 Why? Discover the 6 reasons for investing in adaptation and 3 key financing levers in our publication below. ☎ And to learn more, check our solutions on our website or directly contact us to discuss the best way for your company to navigating climate change : https://lnkd.in/enW-MACT 🏎️ Companies, keep pushing on attenuation and launch now your adaptation strategy ! ⚡ Insights powered with: Clara Martinez Alice Coulon Marco Bégassat 🍀 Sia Partners Climate Team: Charlotte de Lorgeril 🍀 Carlos Guevara Amancio Jean Trzcinski Roberto Wyszkowski Xavier ROBERT-BABY Yann Lesestre Mathieu Barneto Thomas Rocafull Donatien V.

Very insightful 5 rules to make a company's decarbonization strategy efficient, proposed by Fabrice Bonnifet, president of the French Sustainability Directors' organization. Inspiring to see on the first and second place respectively: 1/ defining an internal carbon price and 2/ stop greening products which should not be sold in the first place. As we are approaching 2030, as the counts will be done soon on achieving (hardly) the near-term 1.5°C targets, as Net-Zero targets are a true opportunity to rethink our way of creating value for a better future, these two actions can definitely make a difference in everyone's decarbonization strategy. Food for thought (and action).

Our Carbon Impact Report with Greenly | Certified B Corp 🌍 For the second year, we’ve measured our carbon emissions with Greenly using ADEME’s methodology. While it’s not required for a company of our size, Laure, Camille, Thibaud, Pauline, and Mélanie have led this initiative as part of our commitment to transparency and sustainability. We are proud to have earned the Silver Medal! 🥈 Ranking us in the top 15%. We assess our carbon footprint in two ways: 💰 Monetary: Emissions tied to company expenses. 🕺🏻 Physical: More precise, calculating actual emissions from activities. Our biggest emissions come from suppliers (tech, cloud storage), but the ultimate goal of this work is to reduce our emissions—and the first step is measuring them! Now, we can continue our efforts to lower them. 🌿 If you’d like to learn more about us and our commitments, check out our latest impact report here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3J6Vcnr Thanks again Greenly France | Certifiée B Corp 💚

Continuing sharing the insights of yesterday webinar by Mathilde de Mareuil , today I'd like to pay attention to the point that was mentioned by Mary Katri : "Sustainability is a core value" For myself I see the importance to underline this phrase as it's important to consider it in both business and human resource factors. ▶️ For a company side, like it was mentioned by speakers, it's developing the technologies, investment in innovations and creating / developing the regulatory support team. Like Mary Katri mentioned, implementing the practices, demonstrating the part of the value and inspiring others is a way to a sustainability. ▶️ From other side, considering this approach to the personnal experience, we can notice, that following the same principles is leading us to our personnal growing. Implementation of the new skills in our professional background, building our personal brand, communication with new people and inspiring others - that's what makes us unique and valuable professionals. While moving the way of a sustainable development, it's important to remember that it's Not one constantly and significantly raising line - it's a global way where we still can meet the periods of plato or looses. I find the most important to remember that for making conclusions about the efficiency of any our work it's well to focus on the different scales: both micro and macro - sometimes one "not efficient" step is not a marker of a not efficient way. Thank you Commodities People for shared insights! Looking forward to attend the future events! #sustainability #commoditytrading #finance #treasury #backoffice

25 Places Changing Innovation in France! These places, diverse, open, active, and enterprising, are overall catalysts and incubators of the new economy that help address the challenges of our contemporary society. They host new entrepreneurs mobilized to imagine, develop, and decarbonize productive activities, to develop the circular economy, to design new health solutions, to propose new food production and distribution schemes, to develop rethought digital services, or personal services that simply contribute to better societal integration. These places are much more than just a service or technological response; they express and stage the necessity of collectivity, exchange, and transversality as the basis of innovation. One of the main lessons from the study is that there is no immutable law and that innovation is more about culture than just technology, about the capacity for exchanges, creating combinations, attempts, and taking initiatives.

💣 NGOs in burn out ! An interesting article (thanks to Cristina Balan) about the burn out of CSR managers caught between a management whose objectives are essentially financial and the other teams who see new constraints. This situation, which affects people's mental health, should alert us and we need to understand the causes.  Burn out is your head telling you that what you're doing isn't what you think is right ! To solve it you need to align what you think is right with your actions. In the article, the solution is to resign 👉 . No winners 😶 ! A similar situation exists for Romanian environmental NGOs 🌿 , who are also faced with contradictory injunctions between their role as NGOs that have to warn about climate change, biodiversity, etc., and the companies that sponsored. Some NGO actions look more like greenwashing or green shifting for companies than ecological or social actions. Using NGOs to play the role of ‘useful idiot’ seems to me to be a losing game 🤯 - For NGOs, the risk is simple: loss of credibility and support from volunteers.   - For companies, it's more complex but also more risky.   👉 Reputation risk with every accusation of greenwashing or actions that have no impact.  👉 Lack of resources (the best people refuse to work for a company with a bad reputation, internal burn out, etc.). ) 👉 The worst : By delaying the necessary changes, they will miss out on the necessary change that will come anyway (you can't solve climate change with fine words 🤷‍♂️ !). Is it a complicated problem to solve? 🤔 No. Some companies sponsor with the social and ecological impact in mind, demonstrating that they go beyond their economic role 🤗 .  All we have to do is keep to our role and consider NGOs for what they are. They are tools that focus the community's attention on social issues and make it possible to address certain weaknesses in the State.  https://lnkd.in/deT84Pxw

It is with pride (and great excitement🔥) that I would like to share that a PACCT for sustainability white paper describing the opportunities that Product-as-a-Service (#PaaS) models bring to sustainable business development, which I am pleased to co-author, was published yesterday. The white paper describes: 👉 key aspects of building or transforming a manufacturing business within the #PaaS model 👉 opportunities that PaaS offer in the context of building a sustainable economy and developing a resilient businesses contributing to the transition to a circular economy 👉 EU regulations in which PaaS is emerging - Green Deal, Taxonomy and #ESG reporting in line with #ESRS standards 👉 challenges and solutions for financing and leveraging data and digitization in scaling PaaS, 👉 business cases from the world of successfully operating companies in the PaaS space. And finally, 👉 the expert opinions and recommendations we make to regulators, institutions and business to immediately pave the way for transformation towards servitization and circular economy models, whereby business development can take place away from the exaggerated use of natural resources, minimizing energy consumption and monetizing usership and services rather than ownership. The white paper was the culmination of several months of work by a team led by Francois Johnston as spokesperson of PACCT, in collaboration with Gurvan Guennec, Heloise Aboulker and myself, as well as incredibly experienced experts from the Scientific Advisory Board of PACCT. It has been an extraordinary experience to work on the report and conduct the research. I am extremely grateful and would like to sincerely thank: - Francois Johnston for inviting me to join the PACCT for sustainability team and sharing his knowledge on the subject, - Iain McKechnie, who gave me almost mentoring support at the beginning of this journey and connected me with Francois, - the experts Ann-Charlotte Mellquist and Dimitris Karamitsos, who shared their knowledge and experience in preparing financial issues regarding #PaaS - to PaaS experts and practitioners Tomas Zimmermann, Taco de Boer, Samuel Allison, Slawomir Huss, Joel Rolfe who donated their time and shared their practice of financing the PaaS models and the challenges and solutions involved. I feel privileged to have worked with you on this report and to be part of the PACCT for sustainability community, which is actively working to transform the economy towards #circularity and to support business on the road to servitization. The link to download the white paper is in the post below.
