Responsible Investor is proud to present a new webinar series dedicated to the investment implications of the European Commission’s Sustainable Finance Action Plan. The webinar series is intended to fill the knowledge gap in financial markets with updates about the Action Plan and the European Green Deal proposed in the late 2019. Through the series of three webinars, Responsible Investor will look at the practical implications for investors and examine how green/sustainable finance policy in Europe will impact decision-making of global investors.
May 2020 marks two year since the European Commission launched the EU Action Plan for Financing Sustainable Growth. This second webinar of the EU Action Plan webinar series will explore the EU’s major works around green and sustainable benchmarks, including Climate Transition Benchmarks, Paris-Aligned Benchmarks and ESG disclosure for all investment indices.

GPIFの、CalSTRS、USSとの共同ステートメント、スチュワードシップ活動原則、議決権行使原則、そして日本版スチュワードシップコード・・・これらは総じて、長期投資家の望むべき姿を、より明らかにしたものと言えます。新型コロナウィルスが経済に暗い影を落としている中、投資先企業を支え、レジリエンスを育てる責任投資家の役割は、ますます重要性を増しています。しかし、こうしたスチュワードシップ責任について、投資家は実際どの様に遂行していくのでしょうか?
4月16日公開のRIウェビナー「2020総会シーズン、アクティブオーナーシップの灯火はつながるか?」への応答として、日本をリードする投資家が長期的なスチュワードシップの実務について語ります。
・世界市場が動揺する中、長期的アプローチを堅持することは、他の投資家にとってどれだけ納得のいく、確かなことなのでしょうか?
・直近のスチュワードシップコードの改訂作業を受けた、日本におけるスチュワードシップ行動や発展への影響は?
・感染症の心配は、エンゲージメント活動の実施の仕方についての議論を活発化させるでしょうか?またそれは議決権行使にはどう影響するのでしょうか?
・PRIはスチュワードシップ活動のアウトカムを重視するアプローチを明らかにしましたが、日本の署名機関と足並みのあったものなのでしょうか?PRIの提案する通りステップアップする準備はあるのでしょうか?

The Energy Transition: the knowns & unknowns: A Responsible Investor webinar presenting Carbon Tracker’s follow up to the 2019 report ‘Speed of the Energy Transition’ by the World Economic Forum Global Future Council
One expert speaker, a specialist moderator, and your questions answered!
This webinar will present and examine the areas of relative certainty in the energy transition, driven largely by technological development and market forces. These trends are driving continuing declines in the cost of renewable energy and leading to tipping points in those areas where demand for fossil fuel energy is peaking.
A second focus of the webinar will be on more complex uncertainty, mostly relating to questions of political economy. Resistance to change may have the effect of slowing the transition in certain geographies or sectors, whilst a more aggressive approach to change can accelerate the transition in other regions or industries.
Speaker: Kingsmill Bond, New Energy Strategist for Carbon Tracker and member of the World Economic Forum Global Future Council on Energy.
Moderator: Hugh Wheelan, Joint Managing Director and Co-founder, Responsible Investor
Audience: Investors, companies, policymakers
