Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 2021, the financial industry evolved to include ESG criteria in its products and processes. Thanks to regulatory pressures and public opinion, Sustainable Finance is becoming THE new standard for financial centres across Europe. However, a lack of knowledge and common definitions are still present to define its key concepts. Since 2021, EFPA Luxembourg launched an original initiative to democratise best practices in Sustainable Finance and establish clear and common definitions for its key concepts. Today, the EFPA ESG Handbook is joined by more than fifty entities and seventy co-authors sharing the same ambitions. Over the EFPA ESG Advisor certification, launched in 2021 and owned by more than 8’000 financial advisors across Europe, the European Financial Planning Association (EFPA) wants to help to close the gap between the current level of information and the level necessary due to increasing regulatory requirements around the integration of ESG criterion. This is why, the EFPA ESG Handbook is becoming digital, with the addition of a dedicated website to enrich its content, improve its update, and avoid its obsolescence. On this site and on top of their handbook, owners of the EFPA ESG Handbook will find enriched content, a regularly updated information base and practical tools for filtering the various headings on the site. History, regulation, investment products, investment process, risk management... this handbook offers a 360° point of view over the landscape of the Green Finance. We hope this journey will help the reader to have a better understanding of what Sustainable Finance means, looking at its framework, its aims, and its challenges. I wish you a pleasant reading.

Book excerpt: Dal 2021 l’industria finanziaria si sta evolvendo per includere i criteri ESG nei suoi prodotti e processi. Grazie alle pressioni normative e all’opinione pubblica, la Finanza Sostenibile sta diventando IL nuovo standard per i centri finanziari di tutta Europa. Tuttavia, una conoscenza insufficiente e la mancanza di definizioni comuni ostacolano ancora l’utilizzo dei concetti chiave. Nel 2021 l’EFPA Luxembourg ha lanciato un’iniziativa originale per democratizzare le migliori pratiche di Finanza Sostenibile e diffondere definizioni chiare e comuni per i suoi concetti chiave. Oggi, il Manuale EFPA ESG include i contributi di oltre cinquanta enti e settanta co-autori che condividono le stesse ambizioni. Con la certificazione EFPA ESG Advisor, lanciata nel 2021 e posseduta da oltre 8.000 consulenti finanziari in tutta Europa, l’European Financial Planning Association (EFPA) vuole contribuire a colmare il divario tra l’attuale livello di informazione e quello necessario per soddisfare i crescenti requisiti normativi relativi all’integrazione dei criteri ESG. Per questo motivo il Manuale ESG dell’EFPA sta diventando digitale - anche con l’aggiunta di un sito web dedicato per arricchirne i contenuti, migliorarne l’aggiornamento ed evitarne l’obsolescenza. Su questo sito e sui loro manuali, i proprietari dell’EFPA ESG Handbook troveranno contenuti arricchiti, una base informativa regolarmente aggiornata e strumenti pratici per filtrare le varie voci del sito. Storia, normativa, prodotti d’investimento, processo d’investimento, gestione del rischio... questo manuale offre un punto di vista a 360° sul panorama della finanza verde. Ci auguriamo che questo viaggio aiuti il lettore a comprendere meglio il significato di Finanza Sostenibile, esaminando il suo quadro di riferimento, i suoi obiettivi e le sue sfide. Vi auguro una piacevole lettura.

Download or read book Minister of Money written by Charles W. Munn and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Duncan was a man of many parts: parish minister, savings bank founder, political lobbyist, anti-slavery campaigner, educator, geologist, poet, author. He restored the Ruthwell Cross, a medieval monument of international importance. He also played a major role in the Disruption of the Church of Scotland in 1843 – the most significant social event in nineteenth-century Scotland. But his lasting legacy is as founder of the worldwide savings bank movement. He first opened a parish bank in Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, in 1810, to encourage the 'industrious poor' to save for times of hardship. It was run by local voluntary trustees, and the idea spread to become the basis of trustee savings banks across the world. Duncan was a product of the Enlightenment and his Christian faith. While these were often uneasy bedfellows, he found ways to reconcile them by addressing the economic and social problems of his parishioners as well as their spiritual needs. A man of vision and compassion, Duncan believed fundamentally in the dignity of ordinary working people. From its beginnings in a small cottage on the shores of the Solway, his community savings bank went on to influence and inspire generations all over the world.

Download or read book Fast Forward To Facilitation written by A Collective by Nine Authors and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Footprints on the sands of time, leave behind a trail; for the times gone by and the times to come.’ What does one say about a tale that has a trail. A trail that has taken a cumulative experience of about 300 years. It has lent this book its flavour, fragrance and flamboyance. We are a bunch of happy facilitators who ruminated over many a cup of evening tea, virtually. We wanted to share our snares, glares and flares with the world and our accomplishments too. We explored ways to share the rollercoaster rides with the world. Thus, began our journey of bringing together the collective experience in the realm of facilitation. A humble effort in compiling this book, to open vistas to the fascinating world of facilitation; to explore how it can become a harbinger of change in the learning and experiential space.

Download or read book Handbook of Multi Commodity Markets and Products written by Andrea Roncoroni and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-02-17 with total page 1067 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Multi-Commodity Markets and ProductsOver recent decades, the marketplace has seen an increasing integration, not only among different types of commodity markets such as energy, agricultural, and metals, but also with financial markets. This trend raises important questions about how to identify and analyse opportunities in and manage risks of commodity products. The Handbook of Multi-Commodity Markets and Products offers traders, commodity brokers, and other professionals a practical and comprehensive manual that covers market structure and functioning, as well as the practice of trading across a wide range of commodity markets and products. Written in non-technical language, this important resource includes the information needed to begin to master the complexities of and to operate successfully in today’s challenging and fluctuating commodity marketplace. Designed as a practical practitioner-orientated resource, the book includes a detailed overview of key markets – oil, coal, electricity, emissions, weather, industrial metals, freight, agricultural and foreign exchange – and contains a set of tools for analysing, pricing and managing risk for the individual markets. Market features and the main functioning rules of the markets in question are presented, along with the structure of basic financial products and standardised deals. A range of vital topics such as stochastic and econometric modelling, market structure analysis, contract engineering, as well as risk assessment and management are presented and discussed in detail with illustrative examples to commodity markets. The authors showcase how to structure and manage both simple and more complex multi-commodity deals. Addressing the issues of profit-making and risk management, the book reveals how to exploit pay-off profiles and trading strategies on a diversified set of commodity prices. In addition, the book explores how to price energy products and other commodities belonging to markets segmented across specific structural features. The Handbook of Multi-Commodity Markets and Products includes a wealth of proven methods and useful models that can be selected and developed in order to make appropriate estimations of the future evolution of prices and appropriate valuations of products. The authors additionally explore market risk issues and what measures of risk should be adopted for the purpose of accurately assessing exposure from multi-commodity portfolios. This vital resource offers the models, tools, strategies and general information commodity brokers and other professionals need to succeed in today’s highly competitive marketplace.

Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of ESG and Corporate Governance written by Paulo Câmara and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis the prevailing economic development model based on an assumption of unlimited resources and, therefore, unlimited growth has been increasingly put into question by academics, policy-making agencies and even industry leaders themselves. Climate change, general environmental and natural resource degradation, widespread inequalities, and systemic governance failures are pressing capitalism to renew itself to deliver sustainable outcomes for a broader base of stakeholders. This has become known in more practical terms as the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and responsible investment movements. The pressure to change how we organise ourselves as societies and economies has implications for how large and small corporations, public or private, are governed and to the benefit of whom. This Handbook offers a rare combination of pluralistic and multidisciplinary perspectives from law, economics, finance and management, as well as an interesting mix of latest academic thinking and practical recommendations on ESG for boards and executive teams. Should companies be governed and managed for the benefit of their shareholders alone? Can companies be governed to deliver for shareholders as well as the broader stakeholder base? How can investors allocate capital to advance sustainability? Part I provides a pluralistic discussion of some of these fundamental questions besetting academics and practitioners alike while Part II examines recent regulatory developments and assesses what may need to change in terms of law and regulation to both hold companies to account for sustainability while enabling them to continue to provide vital goods and services. Part III of the book discusses how the different types of companies and investors are currently facing the sustainability imperative and incorporating ESG factors on how they operate and invest. The concluding chapter provides an overview of the key regulatory, ecosystem and board-level gaps that require urgent and decisive action.

Technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing, mobile technologies, big data analytics and social media therefore have perhaps more potential in this industry and area of business than any other. This book defines a fintech ecosystem for the 21st century, providing a state-of-the art review of current literature, suggesting avenues for new research and offering perspectives from business, technology and industry.

Download or read book The Eternal Business written by Chris Budd and published by Harriman House Limited. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of 'what happens when I want to step away from all this?' is one that keeps many business owners awake at night. 'How does my entrepreneur story end in a way that preserves the good I’ve built up, and looks after the employees and clients?' For the owner who has spent a big chunk of their working life building up a business they passionately believe in, and nurturing staff they care about, traditional succession planning doesn’t work. Employee ownership is the new and better way of preserving your achievement. Done the right way, you can release value, preserve your legacy and pass on control without employees having to raise finance. Financial expert, podcaster and author Chris Budd recently sold his own business to its employees through the UK's Employee Ownership Trust. But the movement for employee ownership is global - and interest in this alternative succession route is growing fast. Employee ownership is about more than the ownership, however. It is about creating sustainable businesses. A focus on long-term sustainable profits; happy customers; happy employees. The Eternal Business lays out a system for a business - and its employees - to transition to employee ownership. It provides a model and pathway to follow so that the business continues - maybe forever! It will help anyone running or working in a business with a real purpose, and who is wrestling with the 'what next?' question.
