In the year the UK holds the G7 presidency and hosts COP26, our study reveals there is a significant opportunity for Britain to show domestic and global leadership to address climate change with two thirds saying tackling climate change is more important than ever. /2 https://t.co/gbrQtGUahW
Very good overview of the challenges for the UK in transitioning to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 from the @FT ⬇️. Our @EdelmanUK research just published provides interesting insights into how Britons feel about the climate change agenda. Here are the headlines..... /1 https://t.co/lgJpkp3bi3
Important report for UK finance - well worth a read https://t.co/xNL2M9lCg3
This year, IVIS, @InvAssoc's Institutional Voting Information Service will issue an ‘amber-top’ to FTSE350 businesses that don't disclose either the ethnic diversity of their board, or a credible plan to having at least one director from an ethnic minority background by 2021. /5
One thing to note - @InvAssoc appears, from its website, to have no ethnic diversity on its own Board. It might be an idea to do something about that if making similar demands of companies. /6 END #ESG #boarddiversity #responsiblebusiness
Business Secretary @KwasiKwarteng is right to say "it’s important businesses keep challenging themselves to use all the talents of our workforce and open up the top ranks for more, highly-accomplished women". That means more women in CEO, CFO & other senior executive positions./3
Better race equality in the Boardroom is vital so @InvAssoc deserves praise for its move today turning up the pressure on companies to improve ethnic diversity on their boards in this year’s AGM season. /4 https://t.co/6j3qGLtxpc
Today sees some good progress on diversity in UK Boardrooms from the Government backed @HA_Review and from the UK @InvAssoc BUT with some caveats. Thoughts here ⬇️/1
.@HA_Review reports that women on FTSE350 boards have almost doubled in 5 years and the FTSE100,250 & 350 have reached the target of women making up 33% of boards by the end of 2020, highlighting the success of the Govt's voluntary approach. Great. BUT../2 https://t.co/uohIayZkKA
