Key findings include:
- The majority of companies disclose an ambition: Over two-thirds of companies (68) disclose a commitment to protect nature and two-thirds (46) of those have commitments that extend through company value chains.
- Few companies disclose robust nature-related assessments: Only one company discloses evidence of a comprehensive materiality assessment of nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, or opportunities.
- A significant number of companies disclose nature targets and plans to implement them: 47 companies disclose targets to avoid or reduce their impact on nature and over three-quarters (37) of these companies also disclose strategies for achieving those goals.
- Companies disclose limited progress towards recognizing and protecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Only 31 companies meet at least one of the five benchmark metrics related to respecting and upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, who play crucial roles in biodiversity conservation, restoration, and stewardship. No company meets all the criteria.

"An increase of nearly 50% in global LNG export capacity is on the horizon, led by the US & Qatar, but the prices that many suppliers need to recover their investments may not entice developing economies to switch to natural gas at scale: something has to give." IEA WEO 2024

WHEB: What a Trump presidency means for sustainable investors
We’ve heard a lot about the ‘Trump Trade’ in the aftermath of the US election. This describes the huge stock market gains experienced by various sectors in the hours and days following the result.
Is this really what we should expect for the next four years?
While it may seem as though the world has just become a more hostile place, we believe the future is still bright for sustainability investors. In this article, Claire Jervis explores our outlook.

S&P: Big Picture for Sustainability in 2025: Secondary Perils and Protection Gaps
Insured losses from natural catastrophes globally have topped $100 billion in each of the past three years and, thanks to hurricanes Helene and Milton, look set to do so again in 2024.
Contributing factors to these high numbers include growing populations in catastrophe-prone areas and rising insured property values because of economic inflation.
In hurricane-prone Florida, litigation is pushing up claims costs. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, a recurring natural climate pattern, has a big influence on the strength and location of tropical cyclones.

Robeco: SI Dilemma: Should investors address social issues?

We recently celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). There can be few worthier causes than the principles that seek to protect us as humans – but should it be an issue for investors? Yes, it should – though we still need to translate it into a business case, and that can be hard amid the emotional strings that it pulls.
Summary
- Human rights can be financially material issue for investors and business
- Good human capital management feeds through into higher returns
- EU is helping to lay down frameworks but more clarity is needed

Carbon Tracker: Absolute Impact 2024: Oil and gas companies’ emissions targets are not Paris-aligned – with methane a major blind spot
Analysis of oil and gas corporate emissions targets reveals whether targets may be potentially aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, providing a signal of compatibility between corporate plans and a rapid energy transition in the process.
Investigating the emissions targets of 30 of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, this note provides decision-useful analysis to portfolio managers, analysts, policymakers, standard-setters, and regulators.
Beyond untangling the climate impact of companies for stakeholders with a mandate or other reason to act on emissions, the analysis paints a stark picture of corporates’ ongoing exposure to energy transition risk – and the risk this presents to all investors and banks with oil and gas portfolio companies, in turn...

Planet Tracker: Food Giants & Fertiliser Risk

Planet Tracker: Food Giants & Fertiliser Risk
Widespread misuse of synthetic fertilisers has led to a rise in fertiliser-related environmental risks. Planet Tracker searched the company filings of 45 of the largest food system companies globally for evidence that food producers, manufacturers, and food retailers are highlighting fertiliser-related risks to investors and other stakeholders.
Overall, this report found that a third of companies are failing to acknowledge fertiliser risks at all. Many risk disclosures are still superficial, and more companies need to provide evidence that they assess the risks associated with fertiliser misuse in their own operations and value chains, such as the potential financial cost and declining agricultural yields from fertiliser overuse.
