SUMMARY:The Future of ESG: How the Corporate Approach is Evolving 
DESCRIPTION:ESG considerations have undergone a rapid evolution in recent years\, transforming from a marginal concern into a vogue corporate topic and\, more recently\, a contentious environment where ESG advocates find themselves in contrast to a considerable anti-ESG movement. All the while\, ESG regulation and corporate approaches have tried to keep in step. \nAs the politics and polarization of views around ESG have intensified\, we’ve seen practical impacts in the USA in particular. Notably\, ten states have adopted anti-ESG regulations. On both sides of the Atlantic\, companies have faced high profile challenges stemming from either misguided marketing efforts or discrimination against  customers with political views that go against their ‘values’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday\, January 24th\nTime: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST\n4:00 pm – 5:00 pm GMT \nPlatform: Zoom \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this context\, we bring together a panel to lead a discussion on how organizations can navigate this evolving ESG landscape. Key questions include: How can they align with regulatory requirements while avoiding missteps with customers? What new requirements are anticipated\, and how can they be incorporated into current corporate values? In what ways can an organization future-proof its ESG strategy? How can the often competing interests of regulators\, consumers and politicians best be navigated? \nBAB’s Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability Series is a bespoke series of roundtables and business briefings covering critical Environmental\, Societal and Governance (ESG) issues in business and private sector-led initiatives in support of COP\, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This series provides a platform to stimulate debate and conversation amongst business leaders\, relevant policy makers and stakeholders to advance the guiding principles of  COP26 for the U.S.-UK transatlantic corridor.

SUMMARY:Circular Transformation: Designing Business Models for Durability\, Reuse\, Remanufacturing and Recycling 
DESCRIPTION:Industries and businesses have set ambitious sustainability targets for the next 10-20 years compelling companies to reuse and recycle in more efficient and innovative ways\, rather than using raw materials. \nA circular economy retains the value of products or resources by putting them back into the product cycle after use and enhancing waste management. Yet\, a recent Bain & Company Survey found that 60% of active circularity initiatives have not reached scale. Stakeholders need to come together to build the operating system for the circular economy\, find new forms of collaboration and follow the footsteps of industry innovators. \nJoin BAB and our expert panel as we explore how the circular transition compels a shift in business models\, investment patterns\, and economic incentives. We will look at what infrastructure is available to support this and how these shifts and new technologies can better position organizations to prosper and unlock productivity while contributing to sustainable growth. \nThe discussion will explore;\n\nHarnessing waste as a source of energy: what opportunities are available to recover valuable resources from waste\, reducing the need for new raw materials and saving energy.\nCircular economy development: Visualizing new business models and collaborations to expand opportunities in waste reduction\, reuse and recycling\nIncreased efficiency and cost savings: what improvements can reduce the environmental impact of waste and help companies save costs by reducing their waste disposal feeds.\nEconomic & behavioural challenges: what impact does investment patterns and economic incentives have on companies\, governments and the consumer and how do we change our mindset.\n\n  \nBAB’s Corporate Citizenship & Sustainability Series is a bespoke series of roundtables and business briefings covering critical Environmental\, Societal and Governance (ESG) issues in business and private sector-led initiatives in support of COP\, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This series provides a platform to stimulate debate and conversation amongst business leaders\, relevant policy makers and stakeholders to advance the guiding principles of  COP26 for the U.S.-UK transatlantic corridor.

SUMMARY:The STIR: International Women's Day - Embrace Equity  
DESCRIPTION:In Celebration of International Women’s Day\, we answer the call to embrace equity. To go beyond the fundamental tenant of ensuring people feel a sense of belonging in a diverse setting\, and to pull at the thread of equal access to opportunities in order to break institutional biases.\n\n\n\n\n\nGender Equity in the workplace is not only the right thing\, but will pay dividends on your bottom line. According to the McKinsey & Company’s Global Institute report\, narrowing the gender gap could add $12 to $28 trillion to the global GDP. While we made many strides in the fight for gender equality\, the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2020 noted that we will not see global gender equality for another 100 years and reinforces the finding that gender parity can have a large impact on whether a society will thrive.\n\n\n\n\nOur panel of experts will discuss major areas of focus that corporations should focus on in achieving gender equity: equal pay\, equal representation in management and on boards\, equal access to career development opportunities and need for more inclusive benefits.

SUMMARY:BAB'S Annual Trade & Geopolitics Update: Re-Globalization not De-Globalization 
DESCRIPTION:For its annual Trade and Geopolitics update\, BAB\, in partnership with the AIG Global Trade Series\, is bringing together a leading panel of global trade experts to discuss some of the most pressing developments in geopolitics and global trade taking shape in the coming months. \nNgozi Okonjo-Iweala\, Director-General of the WTO\, has described the future of international trade as one of ‘re-globalization\,’ not ‘de-globalization’. As we enter 2023\, this seems to be an optimistic outlook as businesses and government continue to face geopolitical uncertainty\, a war in Ukraine\, and a challenging economic outlook. \nAt the same time\, international trade has become more important than ever in addressing the immediate challenges of climate change\, capitalizing on the digital transformation and building strong\, resilient economies across the globe. \nWe will reflect on developments in 2022\, while also looking ahead to expected defining issues of the global trading landscape in 2023. \nSpecific discussion points will include: \n\nGeopolitics and national security\nDigitalization\nSustainability\nGlobalization or regionalization

SUMMARY:The STIR: Structural Barriers and Challenges Facing Minority Owned Businesses 
DESCRIPTION:Entrepreneurship and steady economic growth have been the backbone of prosperity in the US and UK. However not all segments of society have equitable access to funding or the opportunity to benefit from economic growth. The global pandemic further exposed the vulnerability of minority owned businesses that make up 29% of all US firms according to the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). \n\n\n\n\n\nJoin our panel of experts as we discuss key factors in starting and sustaining a business\, as well as how SME can participate in the green transition. \n\n\n\n\n\nStarting and Sustaining a Business \n\nTraditionally most startups are funded primarily from savings and equity investments\, and secondarily from bank loans. For minority led business the secondary source is credit cards that typically have higher cost and are designed for short term liquidity and not funding long-term growth.\nA study by J.P Morgan found that only 6% of small businesses in a majority Black communities and 11% of small businesses in majority-Latinx communities have more than 14 days of emergency cash\, compared to 65% in majority white communities.\n\n  \nParticipation in the Green Transition \n\nSmall and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent approximately 90% of the world’s businesses and 99% of businesses in the U.S\, and according to OECD estimates contribute to 60-70 percent of total industrial pollution.\nAccording to a recent SME Climate Hub survey\, only 60% of SME respondents have an emission reduction plan in place with over 60% lacking skills and knowledge and nearly 70% lacking the necessary funding.\nReducing the impact of SME’s on the environment is the key success factor in greening the economy while we ensure that minority led businesses are included in the wave of the green transition.\n\n  \nKey questions to be addressed by the panel include: \n\nHow to improve access to capital for minority owned businesses?\nHow can your organization improve your supplier diversity pipeline and what best practices can you adopt to be more inclusive of minority owned businesses?\nFor larger corporations\, how can your corporate strategies align to help support energy transition for small businesses in your ecosystem? Vendor selection is not only about capital and convenience but can serve to achieve larger sustainability goals. How can your company set up a carbon assessment as part of your vendor selection process? For small and medium size businesses\, how to effectively measure your emissions and help meet your emission reduction goals in cost effective ways?\n\n\n\n.
