On January 28, the penultimate day of the 2021 edition of the Malta Sustainability Forum organised by APS Bank presented a module on the importance of sustainable reporting. Sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the module examined how businesses – from SMEs to multinational corporations – are rethinking the way they operate, with the drive towards sustainability now placed at the forefront of attracting new investment.
Nathalie Dogniez, a partner at PwC Luxembourg, was the featured speaker. Dogniez has worked in sustainability for most of her career and she shared her extensive experience in the field of Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) – the three factors used to measure the sustainability and societal impact of an investment in a company or business.
Christine Lagarde: Climate change and central banking
Keynote speech by Ms Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, at the ILF conference on Green Banking and Green Central Banking, Frankfurt am Main, 25 January 2021. Central bank speech |
In the famous fable Belling the Cat , a group of mice gather to discuss how to deal with a cat that is eating them one by one. They hatch a plan to put a bell on the cat so they can hear it coming and escape before being caught. When it comes to who will actually do it, however, each mouse finds a reason why they are not the right mouse for the job, and why another mouse should do it instead. The cat never does receive a bell – and the story ends poorly for the mice.
