On the ESG Insider podcast, we often hear from financial institutions about how they're engaging on sustainability issues — including by participating in investor engagement initiatives or networks.   In this episode, we explore the evolution of two such investor-led engagement initiatives: Climate Action 100+ and Nature Action 100.   Climate Action 100+ signatories are engaging with many of the world's largest companies to take action on climate change. Since launching in 2017, the initiative has grown to include more than 700 members that are collectively responsible for $68 trillion dollars in assets under management. And now, Climate Action 100+ is moving into phase two of its engagement plan.  We learn what more about what changes investors are making under phase two from Mindy Lubber, CEO and President of Ceres, which is one five investor networks helping to deliver Climate Action 100+.   While Climate Action 100+ moves into phase two, Nature Action 100 is just getting started. Nature Action 100 had a soft launch at COP15, the UN's big biodiversity conference, in Montreal in December 2022, and the initiative recently released a set of investor expectations. To learn about next steps, we speak to  Adam Kanzer, Head of Stewardship Americas at BNP Paribas Asset Management, which is part of the launching group for the initiative.  Listen to our episode on key themes emerging from the 2023 GreenFin Conference here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/at-greenfin-financial-institutions-look-to-translate-sustainability-into-plain-english    Listen to our episode from COP15, where we cover how businesses are getting to grips with biodiversity, here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/on-the-ground-at-cop15-how-business-is-getting-to-grips-with-biodiversity    Copyright ©2023 by S&P Global         DISCLAIMER          This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.         By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.
