Responsible Investor x FAIRR動物性食品企業の気候変動リスクを理解するUnderstanding the climate risks to animal-related food companies in investment portfolios日本政府の2050年ネットゼロ目標は、全世界の気候危機への対応の一環と言えるでしょう。こうした政策の変化は、投資家が保有するアセットを再検討し、ポートフォリオ上の気候関連リスクを十分に理解することの重要性が増していることも意味します。TCFD提言は、保有資産の気候リスクに関連する情報を検討し、更には石油・ガスセクターなどで既に見られるような、シナリオ分析の実施を可能にしました。しかしながら、投資判断に資する十分な情報を得るには、多くの課題が残っています。本ウェビナーでは、昨今の政策環境を踏まえ、気候変動に関わる複雑なリスクを検討するため、機関投資家が取っている様々なアプローチを検討します。特に、FAIRRイニシアティブと有識者をお迎えし、気候変動による変化に疑いなく晒されているセクターの1つである、動物性（タンパク質関連）食品企業を取り上げます。＜ディスカッションポイント＞- ポートフォリオ企業の気候変動リスクを理解するためにはどの様な情報が必要か？リスクの規模を理解し、対処するには何をすべきか？- 急速に展開する政策、規制環境で、CO2高排出セクターや企業における移行リスクはどれほどなのか？- 気候関連リスクのうち、最大の脅威はレピュテーションリスクなのか？- これらのリスクは、タンパク質関連食品企業にどう現れてくるのか？- これらのデータに基づく投資判断、議決権行使、エンゲージメントなど、責任投資家にとってのベストプラクティスとは？The Japanese government’s 2050 net zero CO2 emissions goal is a response to the global climate emergency. The policy shift and its implications mean it is crucial for investors to understand climate related risks in their investment portfolios to evaluate the assets they hold. The Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) has started to prompt investors to broadly assess climate risk information in their holdings, and then look at kinds of future scenario analysis that is carried out already in the oil and gas sectors. But, there are still many challenges ahead for full and meaningful disclosure from corporates.This webinar will explore the various approaches that institutional investors are taking to consider the complex risks associated with climate change in the light of policy responses. And with the FAIRR Initiative and other knowledgeable panellists, it will look specifically at the related climate risks of a large sector that is clearly exposed to change: animal-related (protein) food companies.本ウェビナーは英語音声、日本語字幕付きでお送りします。This webinar will be broadcast with English audio and Japanese subtitles.

In the financial, corporate and academic arenas, the terms Sustainable and Responsible are used without distinction to describe ESG policies. It should be noted, however, that the notions of Sustainability on the one hand, and Corporate Social Responsibility on the other, are alternative concepts and have never been properly differentiated. This distinction could prove useful in the differentiation of the scoring vs rating approach, which would then identify two separate fields of ESG assessment (applicant-pay model vs investor-pay model), and therefore form two different types of regulatory and legislative actions.
