Net Impact Approaches Webinar

May 27th 2021 - 2pm to 3.15pm GMT

Net Impact Approaches 2021: Aligning and integrating approaches to tackle the climate, nature and inequality crises.

 Free Webinar - Thursday 27th May 2021 - 2.00 pm - 3.15 pm BST

In 2021, the fifth year of the event, the focus was on aligning and integrating approaches, and bringing the different communities together. This was also the original purpose of the event first held in 2017. We reflected on progress made, shared significant updates, and highlighted key aspirations in relation to valuation and target setting for net zero and net positive environmental and social outcomes.

As usual, the emphasis was on dealing with the climate, nature and inequality crises covering decision-making and reporting perspectives in a business and financial institution context. 

The webinar comprised five brief presentations/contributions, with speakers from the Capitals Coalition, Science Based Targets Network, the Pre-distribution Initiative, Natura as well as from the organisers Sustain Value and Consciam. The presentations were followed by a discussion exploring the inter-connections and a Q&A session.  

Presentations:

•  Valuation and target setting: Reflections, updates and aspirations. James Spurgeon, Director of Sustain Value, and Phil Clarke, Director of Consciam.

• Aligning ‘value’ accounting approaches. Mark Gough, CEO of the Capitals Coalition.

• Expanding net zero and positive target-based approaches: carbon, nature and water. Kevin Moss, Chair, Science Based Targets Network.

• Dealing with inequality: including a proposed Taskforce on Inequality related Financial Disclosures (TIFD). Delilah Rothenberg, Executive Director, The Predistribution Initiative.

• Applying multi-capital value and target-based approaches: Natura’s experience. Andreza Souza, Sustainability Manager, Natura.
  
  The webinar was hosted by Sustain Value and Consciam Limited.
