The latest trends and initiatives in ESG and Sustainability
Our Perspective
The Bloomberg Green Festival, known for its enlightening presentations and innovative showcases,
provided a global platform for sustainability professionals to share ideas and highlight future green
initiatives. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from influential speakers, engage in thought-provoking
panels, and explore groundbreaking solutions to climate challenges.
Industry Updates
The percentage of people who say they feel personally impacted by climate change has been consistently increasing since 2020, according to recent research. Currently, 45 percent of respondents in 26 markets tracked say they are greatly affected, an increase of 14 percentage points since 2020.
Fully decarbonizing California’s electrical grid will require more firm clean power sources, including advanced geothermal and natural gas with carbon capture. California has set a goal to produce zero net emissions from its electrical grid by 2045, with renewable energy sources playing the starring role in power generation plans.
The European Union (EU) strives to meet its ambitious climate goals by 2050, aiming for a climate-neutral economy. A significant challenge lies in transforming the energy-demanding building sector, which currently accounts for 40% of the EU’s total final energy consumption and contributes 36% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Industry Spotlight
All companies, big and small, have an impact on the environment. This impact can come from the energy and resources they consume through ongoing operations or simply from their staff’s daily commute to and from the office. In September 2013, a major global cloud computing company based in San Francisco, California, needed a utility management solution to help them gain insight into their carbon footprint through a Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory.
