1. Climate Lobbying Assessment Tools and Their Application to Methane Emissions
(Extractive Industries Program Webinar)
Wednesday, September 6, 10:00 am EDT / 3:00 pm BST
|
|
Decarbonizing the economy is multifaceted; companies have different means and opportunities to effect this change. Many of them can develop new technologies and processes that help mitigate climate change and/or adapt to its consequences. Even more, businesses can reduce their GHG emissions.
However, another often overlooked lever companies have is lobbying governments and regulators at all levels. By engaging with businesses, investors can and should influence this activity to make sure it's helping to transition away from fossil fuels, and not creating obstacles to this process.
Do you know how and to what end your investee companies lobby?
InfluenceMap is a non-profit think tank that has developed a set of tools that collect and analyze information about lobbying activities. The aim is to help investors, other associations and initiatives, as well as governments and companies, monitor lobbying activities and their impact on the climate and biodiversity crises. A team from InfluenceMap will present the tools, review the situation with lobbying across the world, and focus on emerging markets and methane emissions.
Speakers:
Joe Brooks, Program Manager (Investor Engagement), InfluenceMap
Faye Holder, Program Manager (Oil & Gas), InfluenceMap
Yuna Chang, Country Manager (Korea), InfluenceMap
Vivek Parekh, Senior Analyst, InfluenceMap

1. Setting Net Zero Targets in the Cement Industry
(Materials Program Webinar)
Wednesday, September 20, 10:00 am EDT / 3:00 pm BST
|
|
Cement is one of the most widely used materials by humankind in building infrastructure, houses, and other real estate. Demand for cement is likely to keep growing for decades, with emerging markets being the main consumer. Combine this growth with a complex production process that is difficult to decarbonize, and the task of setting a net zero target will be understandably daunting for any cement or construction company.
However, all is not doom and gloom.
SBTi has already developed a set of guidelines on how to set a net zero target. There are some good examples of companies that have had their targets validated and are now working on their implementation.
Join our webinar to learn more about SBTi’s guidance directly from their team. Moreover, you will have an opportunity to ask questions to them and to an EM company that is setting a good example by using this guidance.
Speakers:
Karl Downey, Senior Technical Manager, SBTi
Aamir Khan, Project Officer, SBTi
Fabio Cirilo, Sustainability Manager, Votorantim Cimentos
