Cost Savings Through Sustainability – It's Not Just Eco, It's Economic 🌱💷 Switching to sustainable practices is often seen as a moral decision, but let's talk brass tacks: it's a smart financial move too. Here’s the lowdown from my experience in the field: Energy Efficiency: Simple changes in your operations can lead to reduced energy bills. It's not just about the planet; it's pounds back in your pocket. Resource Management: Using materials more sustainably cuts costs. It’s less about consumption, more about maximization. Innovation and Growth: Sustainable products and practices can open new markets and create growth opportunities that weren’t there before. Investor Interest: More and more investors are looking to back businesses that are environmentally conscious. It’s a green light for funding and a competitive edge.

Great sustainability ideas arise from simple and honest conversations. About a month ago I was struggling to come up with a term for what we exactly do at ACNBS Advisory. Last week during a meeting with my small lean but efficient team, I think we hit the spot. So for the very first time, ACNBS Advisory introduces to you the term #ESG-CNV CODE. What is this all about? We will be trying very hard in the coming days to unpack the concept—piece by piece. If you are in the green finance policy space—your thoughts and feedback will be of help if we touch a holy nerve or look lost. For now, this is our long working definition of ESG-CNV CODE: ESG-CNV can be referred to as The Secret Green CODE!! Operating as a Green Personal Identifier Number(G-PIN), it is an indicative hidden number that informs reflective loss or profit in any sustainable investment. Whereas it overreaches geographical, jurisdictional, organization, project, and product boundaries in a green market, it operates within and outside the bounds of real capital, expenditure, and return on investments. This definition consensus was driven, in part, by the fact that ESG-CNV CODE does exist but must first be unlocked to future-proof profitability for enterprises, mitigate ecological risks and drive just transitions. As a metric or an indicator, it is very much data and information-driven and draws from the visible handprints and hidden footprints of organizations, people, and businesses impacting ecological systems, natural capital, and innovation for nature. I am extremely grateful and want to highly credit the good friends below for being the first to push me back and make things more clear.

I've been sharing here the questions asked to me & my answers during presentations or discussions. How can decarbonisation benefit industries? Decarbonization can significantly benefit industries by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, leading to a cleaner environment. It also helps in improving energy efficiency, reducing operational costs, and enhancing brand reputation by demonstrating commitment to sustainability. Moreover, it opens up new market opportunities by aligning with global trends towards low-carbon products and services. Most importantly, if the company is exporting to European countries, then the seller is subjected to CBAM tax if the emissions are higher. In India and in many countries, the importance of sustainability reporting is fast growing. Here, the significance of real work has become a necessity. Bankers are giving interest rates rebates to sustainability improvement projects.

Very enjoyable day yesterday at the Energy & Environment Alliance's Sustainability Symposium. Great conversations and chats in-between. Some key takeaways from the day included: 🌱We need to skill up – educate everyone on ESG, data collection, regulations, the new language of sustainability; 🌱It’s all about data and how to integrate it and only then will we have a chance to succeed. But also data is never going to be perfect; 🌱 You can’t do “approximate” in financial reporting so for sustainability disclosure and reporting there needs to be the same accuracy as we have when reporting financial data; 🌱 We need to know the cost savings of ESG but also the ROI; 🌱 Banks have a scope 3 to worry about too, so their lending will need to be “good” and open the door of opportunity. This year banks will have to report on what proportion of their loans are sustainable; 🌱 Reusing is better than recycling; 🌱Everyone is focused on E of ESG but the social side is coming. DEI is coming next; 🌱If food waste was a country it would be the third biggest emitter of waste; 🌱 Nudging consumers works – small changes make big results, like IHG changing the size of the plates at the breakfast buffet, resulting in much less food waste; 🌱Don’t let the fear of greenwashing accusation stop you from making authentic sustainable operational choices; AND MORE...

€620B < €33T So since €620B/year is needed to hit Green Deal targets, and consumers currently own €33T, the potential for sustainable investment is truly massive! 💶 🌿 As Mathilde Nonnon, Sustainable Finance Policy Officer at WWF European Policy Office phrased it "The Retail Investment Strategy is a key opportunity to ensure consumers get better advice and information to invest sustainably." Although the EU Council’s stance on #RIS fell short on sustainability, we hope the trilogue will move towards that direction, in line with the points introduced by the European Parliament in March of 2024. That includes taking into account clients’ sustainability preferences, and professional training for insurance employees on environmentally and socially sustainable investments. #RetailInvestment #InvestSustainably #SustainableInvestment
