This document discusses using the Financial Valuation Tool (FV Tool) to estimate the expected net present values of sustainability investments for Newmont Ghana Gold's Ahafo mine project. The tool helps answer questions about determining the right portfolio of sustainability investments and their potential financial returns. It also supports alignment across different business functions. The document provides examples of sustainability scenarios analyzed in the tool and discusses indirect value protection from mitigating project risks. Quotes from Newmont Ghana Gold employees note improvements in cross-functional collaboration and the sustainability team's ability to articulate business cases in financial terms since using the FV Tool.
Etude PwC "Bridging the gap" sur les investisseurs institutionnels (mai 2015)PwC France
Selon la dernière étude du cabinet d’audit et de conseil PwC, intitulée « Bridging the gap », sept investisseurs institutionnels sur dix (70 %) – parmi les 60 qui ont été interrogés par PwC au plan mondial – affirment qu’ils refuseraient de participer à une levée de fonds de private equity ou à un co-investissement si ceux-ci présentaient un risque environnemental, social ou de gouvernance.
Méthodologie :
Pour réaliser cette étude, PwC a mené des entretiens individuels avec 60 commanditaires de 14 pays, totalisant quelque 500 milliards USD d’allocation aux gérants ou general partners (GP) de fonds de private equity. Les participants à l’enquête ont répondu sur la base du volontariat, d’où une surreprésentation probable des investisseurs relativement avancés dans leur approche de l’investissement responsable. Le panel était composé à 30 % de fonds de pension, à 20 % de gestionnaires d’actifs et à 7 % de fonds souverains ou publics. Parmi les répondants figuraient de grands fonds de pension du monde entier, comme le CalSTRS (caisse de retraite de l’enseignement public de Californie), l’USS (caisse de retraite de l’enseignement supérieur britannique), la caisse de retraite de BT, le West Midlands Pension Fund, le Wellcome Trust, un fonds de pension suédois et des fonds confessionnels aux États-Unis et en Finlande. Parmi les principaux gestionnaires d’actifs figuraient les sociétés Aberdeen, Hermes GPE, F&C et BlackRock. 7 investisseurs français ont aussi participé à cette étude comme par exemple BPI France, Ardian ou OFI Asset Management (devenu depuis SWEN Capital Partners).
Responsible investment is rapidly becoming a mainstream concern within the investment industry. The dramatic growth in the number of investors who have adopted the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) is only the latest indicator of the increased attention the sector is paying to the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment management.
Custom target date strategies are gaining more acceptance among large defined contribution plans, with over 20 of the largest 100 plans implementing custom portfolios. The main drivers of adoption are gaining control over underlying asset classes and managers rather than customizing the glide path. While glide path design is still important, Russell helps plans choose common designs and then customize the asset allocation and glide path to fit plan demographics. Russell's target date strategies differentiate by targeting an adequate income replacement rate in retirement and protecting participants in down markets with a conservative glide path approaching and in retirement. Multi-manager target date funds have potential but need more creative product development to see greater acceptance beyond just large plans.
Governance & integrated thinking….through a responsible investor lens: The ch...Dr Raj Thamotheram
This presentation identifies that academic/practitioner collaboration could be the catalyst for a more integrated approach to governance and how this could address the failure of traditional corporate governance thinking to deliver value even its narrow frame of reference, leave aside taking account of wider mega-trends. The presentation also considers what academics can do differently to realise this potential.

It defines CoSR categories such as extended monitoring and reporting, governance, oversight, mitigation and contingencies, treatment/recovery/remediation, advocacy, and adoption. Examples are provided for various industries, showing large costs incurred from issues like product safety flaws, environmental disasters, and labor problems. Future considerations are discussed as well.
Blake Lapthorn Thames Valley Pensions conference - 5 Dec 2012Blake Morgan
The document discusses a pensions conference agenda that covers topics such as pension liabilities, investment strategies, auto-enrollment duties and challenges, and the trustee perspective. It includes presentations on liability measurements, investment opportunities in low yield environments, communication strategies, and diversified growth funds. The document provides an agenda, speaker bios, and questions from previous conferences.
This document discusses retirement readiness challenges and opportunities for plan sponsors and employees. A key point is that 32 million Americans may never be ready to retire due to challenges in saving enough. The document outlines retirement trends, the impact of financial stress on employees and employers, and strategies plan sponsors can adopt to help improve participant outcomes, such as providing retirement readiness assessments and financial wellness programs.
The PMBOK Guide 7th Edition Exposure Draft is built around a Value Delivery System, of which projects are a fundamental component. Value is the foundation of successful change initiatives which include strategic initiatives, programs, projects, innovation and continuous improvement.
Value can be defined as a ratio between the alignment with stakeholders’ expected benefits and the achievability of the proposed solutions. The Value ratio is also the basis for business analysis techniques like the ROI (Return vs Investment), NPV (Net Present Value) SWOT analysis, and the project management’s Scope and Quality vs Time and Cost. Value management is also strongly linked to creativity and innovativeness which are essential in today’s VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) context.
To support this approach, Benefits Realization Management (Alignment) will be considered as one aspect of the value ratio and Risk Optimization (or Achievability) as the other aspect of that ratio.
The presentation shows how to calculate the value index and use it to prioritise change initiatives, not only on their alignment to objectives, but also on their achievability, or overall risk.
Thus enabling , sponsors, portfolio, program and project managers to define, measure and deliver value to the business.
Speaker - Dr. Michel Thiry
Michel has an extensive worldwide experience and has worked in many cultural environments. He is recognized as a worldwide authority in strategic applications of project, program and value at organizational level and has supported the development and implementation of numerous strategic programs for major corporations in various fields.
He has written and lectured widely and been invited to sit on expert panels in international Academic and Practitioner forums and is the author of “A Framework for Value Management Practice” and of the best-seller “Program Management”. He is currently preparing a book titled 'Making Sense of Value' to published in 2021
2016 cause conference farron levy practical techniques for measuring social i...AMASanDiego
This document provides an overview of practical techniques for impact measurement. It discusses measuring inputs, outputs, and outcomes, and focuses on measuring outcomes that demonstrate social impact. The key principles covered include: measuring what is most important to investors rather than what is easiest, using a tiered approach to determine what can reasonably be claimed in terms of impact, and prioritizing the best available data sources. Timing of measurement is also addressed, emphasizing integrating it into initial planning and ongoing systems. Examples are provided to illustrate these principles in action.
This key note speech at a recent Rutgers conference on innovation was focused on opening the aperture of the participants thinking. Its title, "???", provoked interest even before the talk was delivered.
What is your pension plan doing to educate trustees?sharingmyideas
"What is Your Pension Plan Doing to Educate Trustees?" was presented in Phila on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 for the PA Association of Public Employee Retirement Systems where I described the principles of engagement for attendees to take it back to their plans and begin to build high performance boards. The takeaway is, “engage your trustees and you won’t be able to contain their energy to learn and act.” Attched is my Powerpoint.
Best-in-Class in Methodologies for Putting a Monetary Value on Social ImpactSustainable Brands
The document discusses methods for quantifying and valuing social impacts. It provides examples of calculating a social return on investment (SROI) ratio to compare the social value created by an initiative or investment to the value of the resources invested. An SROI ratio of $10 for every $1 invested in community schools indicates that investment generates $10 of social value. The document also discusses challenges in quantifying impacts and attribution, but provides rules for reasonable measurement of formerly "unmeasurable" impacts through indicators and considering attribution issues.
This document discusses social performance in the natural gas industry. It notes that while communities want investment, there is uncertainty around long-term environmental and social impacts, which can delay projects. It examines issues with LNG projects in Canada, including impacts on indigenous rights and land use. The document advocates for a shared value approach where companies work to mutually benefit communities through long-term jobs, infrastructure, and capacity building rather than just short-term economic benefits. Formal processes like impact assessments are not enough on their own and companies must build relationships and trust with communities.
- There is a paradox between communities wanting investment and concerns about environmental and social impacts, which can stop projects.
- Social performance refers to a company's strategy and programs to improve communities, measured by stakeholder assessments, while ensuring corporate social responsibility.
- Getting social performance right requires going beyond formal processes to build long-term trust and understanding priorities through deep communication and understanding community needs.

This document outlines a 2008 strategic fundraising plan. It begins with an analysis of the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Some key strengths identified include strong leadership, innovative programs, and a focused mission. Weaknesses include lack of marketing and overreliance on major donors. The plan then discusses setting fundraising goals to capitalize on opportunities like increased community awareness and partnerships, while addressing threats such as uncertainty in funding. Overall the plan aims to leverage the organization's strengths and opportunities to achieve its $2.5 million fundraising goal for 2008 despite challenges in the operating environment.
The document discusses the challenges faced by charities in fundraising due to increased competition and decreased donations as a result of the global financial crisis. As a main charity funding research for a disease, the organization has committed $10 million annually but is now unable to raise sufficient funds. It considers hiring an external fundraising firm to help achieve its fundraising target, though there are concerns about the cost of fundraising. The document argues that using a professional fundraising firm can help access new donors, justify fundraising costs as an investment, and allow the charity to focus on its mission while leveraging external expertise, resources and flexibility. It stresses the need for transparency regarding how funds are spent to maintain public trust.
The document discusses keys to financing a new venture, including:
1) Types of financing like debt, equity, and combinations. Debt has fixed costs but less risk, while equity is more expensive but has no obligation to repay.
2) Sources of financing including banks, leasing, factoring, angels, and venture capital. Timing of financing depends on the venture's stage.
3) A business plan is important to make the case for why the venture will succeed and raise the needed capital. It should analyze the market, competition, and operations.
The document discusses keys to financing a new venture, including different types of financing (debt vs equity), sources of financing (friends/family, banks, venture capital), and when different types are appropriate. It provides examples of analyzing financing needs for case studies of different companies, including assessing debt vs equity and timing of raising funds. The goal is to minimize risk for both the entrepreneur and investors by staging investments appropriately.
Stephen Jenner designed, implemented and operated the Criminal Justice System (overseeing a £2 billion investment in modernising justice) IT approach to Portfolio & Benefits Management that has been recognised internationally (in reports to the OECD and European Commission and in a case study published by Gartner) and which won the 2007 Civil Service Financial Management Award. He was infamously described by the UK Government CIO as, "the Rottweiler of benefits management." Steve will outline the research evidence, the possible explanations and solutions which call for a radically different approach to the way organisations approach the realisation of benefits from their investments in change.
Good Measures: The Case for Quantification in Impact InvestmentPabloVerra
1) Impact measurement and management is important for impact investors to understand their social and environmental performance, improve investment decisions, and avoid "impact washing".
2) There have been several developments in impact measurement standards and tools over the past decade, including the IRIS catalog of metrics, the Operating Principles for Impact Investing, and the DELTA and AIMM frameworks.
3) Recent frameworks like IRIS+ and methods like those from inFocus aim to increase standardization, comparability, and practical guidance for impact investors in how to define goals, select metrics, and manage performance.
The document provides information about an angel investing conference held by VisionTech Angels. It includes details about the conference sponsors and speakers, including Oscar Moralez, founder of VisionTech Partners, who discusses what angel investors are and VisionTech Angels' investment process and criteria. Kristin Cooper, CEO of The Startup Ladies, discusses her organization's mission to support women entrepreneurs and how they work to increase the number of startups and first-time investors. The document concludes with brief introductions of additional speakers at the conference.

This document summarizes a presentation on the future of living spaces and workplaces given at Sustainable Brands London in November 2015. The presentation discusses research that identifies different consumer attitudes towards sustainability and circular concepts. It also outlines several emerging trends, like the squeeze on living space in urban areas, the blurring of work and personal life, the rise of responsive smart home technologies, community-focused "maker" movements, and a growing focus on zero waste solutions. These underlying technological and social changes are creating more opportunities for sustainable living than can be achieved through messaging alone. The presentation argues that businesses should focus on aligning with these emerging needs rather than just "selling sustainability."

CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTIONIZING THE FINANCIAL LANDSCAPE AND SHAPING THE FUTURE...itsfaizankhan091
Cryptocurrency, a digital or virtual form of currency that uses cryptography for security, has revolutionized the financial landscape. Originating with Bitcoin's inception in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrencies have grown from niche curiosities to mainstream financial instruments, reshaping how we think about money, transactions, and the global economy.
The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.
Bitcoin was conceived as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, aimed at providing an alternative to the traditional banking system plagued by inefficiencies, high fees, and lack of transparency. The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.

The birth of Bitcoin marked the beginning of the cryptocurrency era. Unlike traditional currencies issued by governments and controlled by central banks, Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network using blockchain technology. This technology ensures transparency, security, and immutability of transactions, fundamentally challenging the centralized financial systems that have dominated for centuries.

The underlying blockchain technology, a distributed ledger maintained by a network of nodes, ensures that every transaction is recorded and cannot be altered, thus providing a secure and transparent financial system.
#### The Proliferation of Altcoins
Following Bitcoin's success, thousands of alternative cryptocurrencies, or altcoins, have emerged. Each of these altcoins aims to improve upon Bitcoin or serve specific purposes within the digital economy. Notable examples include Ethereum, which introduced smart contracts – self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement

9. Notable Quotes: Sustainability Team
When
we
first
heard
of
it,
those
of
us
on
the
social
side
were
happy
to
get
something
that
would
help
Finance
understand
us.
We
are
more
confident
in
cos+ng
the
programs
that
we
do.
This
puts
us
in
a
much
be@er
posi+on
with
finance.
In
previous
mee+ngs,
other
departments
had
figures
and
we
had
to
talk
to
explain.
Now
we
are
puDng
figures
to
our
words
just
like
other
departments.
The
change
within
the
ESR
team
is
marked.
What
are
these
risks
that
we
are
trying
to
mi+gate?
Are
their
costs
jus+fied
in
terms
or
risk
mi+ga+on?
Previously
program
owners
were
not
connec+ng
the
dots
to
risk
mi+ga+on
or
value
crea+on.
Now
we
challenge
the
numbers.
Previously,
we
had
no
framework
to
evaluate.
People
are
now
trying
to
highlight
the
value
of
their
ini+a+ves
for
the
business
not
just
for
stakeholders.
10. Notable Quotes: Finance Team
My
biggest
surprise
was
that
it
is
possible
for
the
ESR
team
to
have
a
conversa+on
in
financial
terms.
Every
conversa+on
I
had
with
them
before,
…
they
never
could
ar+culate
their
assump+ons
and
acknowledge
costs
and
benefits.
Now
they
can
and
do.
They
have
their
act
together
and
can
explain
a
business
case
…
Previously,
they
were
not
able
to
see
their
business
case.
…
Finance
and
[Environment
and
Social

are
now
working
together
much
be@er
than
before.

The
Na+onal
Police
and
the
Na+onal
Health
Service
are
the
two
most
influen+al
stakeholders
in
the
network,
due
to
the
large
number
of
other
stakeholders
to
which
they
are
+ed
as
well
as
the
“brokering”
role
that
each
plays
for
otherwise
unconnected
groups.
In
this
case,
the
level
of
social
license
granted
by
the
Na+onal
Health
Service
is
in
the
“approval”
range.
When
combined
with
the
agency’s
substan+al
influence
in
the
network,
its
posi+ve
orienta+on
suggests
the
poten+al
for
a
partnering
arrangement
that
could
raise
the
company’s
level
of
social
license
among
the
others.
The
interviews
also
provide
informa0on
about
the
“social
capital”
in
the
rela0onships
among
stakeholders.
We
convert
this
informa0on
into
network
graphs.
We
also
calculate
various
measures
of
social
influence
to
gain
insight
into
relevant
influence
dynamics,
and
ul0mately
into
engagement
strategies
that
leverage
these
dynamics.

ul0mately,

scenario
using
